What an incredible day at Gulf City Mall! We had the opportunity to connect with so many wonderful people and share our mission of creating a better world for animals. Our conversations centered around the importance of responsible pet ownership, the benefits of spaying and neutering, and our efforts in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).

It was heartwarming to see the level of interest and support for these initiatives. Many visitors were eager to learn more about how they could get involved and help make a difference.

We also had a great time spreading the word about our upcoming Santa Paws event on November 30th at Gulf View Community Centre. The excitement for this event is building, and we can't wait to see everyone there with their pets for a fun-filled day!

A big thank you to Gulf City Mall for hosting us and everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and showed their support. Together, we’re making a positive impact for animals in our community!

These two loving brothers, just about 4 months old, are still searching for their forever home. Rescued nearly a month ago, they’ve been vaccinated, litter box trained, dewormed, and treated for fleas and ticks. Plus, their neutering can be arranged and covered!

'Tis the season for gatherings and festive cheer!

As friends and family come together, it's important to remember that our pets may have mixed reactions to visitors. Some dogs and cats may greet guests with joy, running up to them or even jumping in excitement. Others may feel anxious or unsure, responding with behaviors like growling, hissing, or barking.

At the Simba Kai Foundation, we encourage all pet caregivers to take steps that help create a positive experience for both pets and guests. A little preparation goes a long way in keeping everyone comfortable and ensuring a happy, safe atmosphere.

Here are some helpful tips to ensure a joyful, stress-free holiday for both pets and guests.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month!

While this month shines a light on the importance of giving older pets a second chance, remember, senior pets need loving homes all year round. Senior pets bring so much love, loyalty, and gratitude to a home. Adopting one means giving them the golden years they truly deserve.

Check out the flyer below and consider visiting your local shelter or rescuer to meet a wonderful senior companion.

Here are some amazing reasons why a senior pet might just be the perfect match for you:

Why Adopt a Senior Pet?

1. Ready for Love: Senior pets are often incredibly affectionate and grateful for a second chance, forming deep bonds with their new families.

2. Calm and Well-Mannered: Many senior pets are already trained, making them easier to settle into your home.

3. What You See is What You Get: Their personalities are fully developed, so you’ll know exactly who’s joining your family!

4. Loyal Companions: Older pets have an abundance of loyalty to give and will be devoted friends for life.

5. Less Demanding: Senior pets often require less exercise and supervision, making them ideal for a more relaxed lifestyle.

6. All the Love They Have to Give: They’re ready to share their hearts with you, bringing joy and comfort into your home.

Bring home the love of a senior pet — now and every day of the year.

As the holiday season approaches, many of us are considering adding a pet to our families. While pets bring immense joy and companionship, gifting a pet comes with important responsibilities. Here are some key tips to consider before making this heartfelt decision:

Long-term Commitment: Dogs and cats can live 10–20 years—a lasting responsibility beyond the holiday season.

Daily Care: Both dogs and cats need regular feeding, grooming, and playtime. Make sure they have the time, love, and consistent care.

Ongoing Expenses: Remember that pets come with ongoing costs for food, vet visits, and supplies.

Lifestyle Compatibility: Dogs often need regular exercise and outdoor time, while cats thrive in calm, indoor environments.

Choose to Rescue: Shelters are full of dogs and cats waiting for a second chance at a loving, forever home. Adopting a pet not only saves a life but also enriches yours!

Before making the decision to gift a pet this Christmas, take a moment to reflect on these factors. A pet is not just a present; they are a long-term family member deserving of love and care.

For these tips on choosing the right pet and ensuring a smooth transition, check out our attached flyers!

Wishing you and your family a joyful holiday season filled with love and companionship!

As another spay and neuter operation wraps up, it's time to release these cats back to their familiar streets. As the carriers open, the cats hesitate, assess their surroundings. Despite their familiarity, stepping out requires a leap of faith, reminding us that these streets belong to them too.

TNR programs control feral cat populations through spaying and neutering, fostering compassion, respect for animal lives, and community involvement in animal welfare. Through TNR, we protect their freedom, maintaining our community's delicate balance. Each cat returned signifies progress towards a world where all creatures are valued and respected.
