We lost our sweet Joe Tuesday. He had been with us just shy of 10 years.

He ended up at the Emporia Animal Shelter when he was a few months old with a 'beyond' chronic nasal issue. He was nicknamed Snotty Joe but was the sweetest and friendliest guy. Flint Hills Animal Advocates (then Friends of the Emporia Animal Shelter) agreed to help with medical costs to see what could be done for him. After X-rays and blood work, it was determined there was a polyp very deep in his nasal cavity, too deep for surgery locally. Off to K-State he went. They removed the polyp and we were all hoping for the best. There were a few hiccups in the recovery, including a massive bleeding episode the night he came home, but we made it through. He was the sweetest guy and he had the biggest heart to go with his big feet. Our goal, of course, was to get him his forever home where he could be someone's lap cat. As time went on and after many more Dr. visits, it was clear Joe was going to be a part of the FHPR family. We were more than happy to have him in our lives even though it wasn't long enough.

Tuesday our sweet Joe's life took a bad turn and he suffered a brain aneurysm or a stroke. Rest well sweet boy. We will miss you. 💔

Feline Fact Friday in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Did you know that mammary tumors account for the 3rd most common type of cancer found in cats?

Unfortunately, the majority of mammary tumors (90%) are malignant cancers. 😢

Spaying a female cat BEFORE the first heat cycle (typically between 3-5 months of age) can significantly reduce the risk of mammary cancer in our feline friends.

Do you know of a female kitty that needs to be spayed?

We had to say goodbye to Buddy today. He was such a sweetheart and fought so hard. He needed his teeth extracted but wasn't in good enough health to survive a surgery. He chose me one day in 2017 at a trailer park near my work. He came to the back lot at work on a hot day when the guys were out back grilling their lunch. He got away with a hotdog and one of the guys told me about him. I couldn't get the little skinny guy out of my head. After work I went looking for him. Driving through the trailer park on my way home that night and found a few very hungry cats. I stopped because naturally, like a good rescuer 😁, I had cat food in my car. Doesn't everyone??? On the third day, I drove thru and didn't see Buddy. I kept driving and was ready to head home when I looked in my rearview and saw this sad face sitting in the middle of the road thinking he had missed his only meal for the day. It just about broke my heart but I was happy at the same time. I flipped around and headed back. This became my normal every night after work. Buddy would greet me with a raised paw as if to say take me with you. So one night we decided to bring him and what appeared to be his sister or girlfriend back to the rescue. I could easily pick him up but Holly had to be trapped. They have been here ever since, not really adoptable but that's what we do here. We save lives. If they find a forever home, that's terrific, but if not they are loved and taken care of just like Buddy! Rest peacefully now, sweetheart. I raise my paw to you tonight at Rainbow Bridge. We will miss your precious little face. ❤️ 💔
