COLD WEATHER REMINDER!!!

As the outdoor temperatures start to drop, Community Cats will hide under car hoods for protection and warmth.

Use caution when you start your car in the cold winter months ahead. If unowned (Community) cats are left outside, they may climb into the car engine compartment for protection from the cold. Before you climb into your car, make noise while walking to/around the car, jingle keys, bang the hood, or open it for a quick look around. If you have an auto starter, click the lock/unlock button a few times to startle the kitties out of hiding. Plan to make this a part of your safety check/routine.

If you only honk your horn, a cat nestled up in your engine compartment may startle in place from fear and not run off.

Frequently asked is, “how do they get there?” They can fit into small spaces, look under your car, wheel wells, open areas, there are plenty of options.

Meet Demi (ID #57275733)!

Stats: Female Spayed DA9
Pit Bull Terrier mix 7.5 months old 27 pounds

Demi is the most endearing of all the canine companions! While she may not boast a luminous red nose like her famous counterparts, her heart radiates a warmth just as brilliant. Having spent over 7 weeks in the shelter, Demi's simple wish is for a forever home to call her own. Initially shy, this gentle soul possesses a curious spirit that blossoms once trust is established. Her affectionate nature will undoubtedly make her your steadfast companion through all of life's journeys. Whether snuggled up by the fireplace, embarking on snowy adventures (though perhaps not in Texas), or simply enjoying serene moments together, this young pup is eager to fill your heart with love and create unforgettable memories.

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Adoption fees include all core vaccinations, alteration, microchip and much more! Join Demi on her mission to find a friend who’ll love her like no other! Adventure awaits at Arlington Animal Services!

BLANKETS NO - STRAW YES!

Here's a very important cat shelter "DON'T". We all associate "warm and cozy" with blankets - but please don't use them in feral cat shelters. In damp or cold weather, once the blanket gets wet it stays damp - and in the REAL deep cold, it will freeze. (Dampness can get into the shelter by a rain/snow covered cat or simply on windy days)

Instead use straw (NOT HAY) in the shelter. Straw is the best bedding. It dries quickly and doesn't retain moisture (whereas hay does!)

REMEMBER: Straw is for strays, hay is for horses.

Pass it on!

🐶🐱🐶🐱 STRAY PET ALERT 🐶🐱🐶🐱

Every day Arlington Animal Services (AAS) takes in lost pets found throughout Arlington. Without a microchip it’s hard to help reunite an owner and pet. That’s were the public comes in, helping these distraught owners find and reclaim their pets is crucial. It frees up needed space for others who are lost, and gives some buffer space/time to adoptables or others who are Rescue Only.

PLEASE HELP US FIND THEIR OWNER!!

If you have a recently lost pet, please check out:
www.arlingtontx.gov/city_hall/departments/animal_services/pet_information/lost_pets_in_shelter

Reclaims are just as important as adoptions, AAS has to house so many adoptable dogs in their holding kennels when the adoption mall remains full.

If you have a recently lost or found a pet, please check out:

SHARE this post and help get the message out to your friends and neighbors.

During colder weather, wet food in insulated containers is ideal for cold-weather feeding of your Community Cats because it takes less energy to digest, that's more energy for them to keep warm.
