UPDATE: I just received totals for the last 4 days (today is last day for surgeries). Total of 46 female cats. 15 or 1/3 of those cats were pregnant with 65 feti. So poof...in less than 60 days that cat population would have gone from 15 to 80. Do you hear me now?

😿 WE'RE SCREWED🚨

I know that's neither polite or professional language but those are the words that came out of my mouth yesterday. Actually I "may" have used some stronger words.

Yesterday at a spay/neuter clinic here in E TN, 6 female community cats were scheduled for spay. Of those, four were pregnant. Those four were carrying a total of 20 feti. Think about those numbers. If those feti hadn't been humanely euthanized, that four cat population would have increased by 5 times.

Please friends. Speuter your pets. Help a neighbor get their pet speutered. Help a community cat get speutered. "But aw....kittens are so cute." Look at the numbers. We are about to be drowning in cute kittens. If you are too late to fix 'em l, we'll need ya to foster 'em. If you don't, more will die in the streets. It will take everyone helping to climb out of this animal welfare crisis in our community.

The H5N1 avian influenza, commonly known as H5N1 or bird flu, typically infects poultry and wild birds but has also recently infected dairy cattle and domestic cats.

The current public health risk is low, but this is an evolving situation as the virus continues to mutate, and protecting our cats may help mitigate public health concerns.

Who has thousands of homes in mind where these kittens can go? No one. There is nowhere for them to go! Shelters and rescues are overwhelmed. Euthanasia is happening to healthy animals all the time. We all can help with spay and neuter!

Argos, the faithful dog of Odysseus, remains one of the most iconic symbols of loyalty in ancient literature.
Its story comes from Homer's Odyssey, an eighth-century BC epic poem that chronicles Odyssey's long and perilous journey as he attempts to return home after the Trojan War. After 20 years of absence filled with battles, shipwrecks and constant death threats, Odyssey finally returns to Ithaca, his homeland, but in disguise. No one recognizes him, not even his family or closest friends. But there is a soul that does.

Argos, his old dog, neglected and weak, lying on a pile of dirt, sees him from afar. His ears stand up, his tail wags softly. Despite being too weak to stand, he finds the strength to recognize the only one he had waited for all those years.

This short but powerful scene appears in Corner 17 of The Odyssey and has remained as one of the most moving moments in all of literature. Argos, forgotten by all but still clinging to hope, finally sees his master once again. And with that small, quiet moment of joy, let go of life, dying in peace.

It is a testament to the eternal love of dogs: they never forget, never stop hoping, and never stop loving. Argos loyalty is timeless, reminding us that even in the earliest stories, the bond between humans and dogs already seemed sacred. For anyone who has ever loved a dog, this scene touches the heart deeply. It's not about greatness or heroism, it's about the quiet power of devotion.

As many of you already know, we TNR and feed many cat colonies in Summit and Portage County. One of those colonies is where our latest rescue, Lucky showed up to eat.

As many of you also know, every rescue is in crisis right now. If you would like to do something to help us continue our mission, we could really use food. Dry cat kibble and canned food. Here is our link to our amazon wish list where your donation will be sent directly to us. We...and those we feed thank you in advance.

The weather in Ohio is going to get quite cold. Now is the moment to arrange how to properly take your pets outside for a bathroom break. You can place straw stations throughout your yard to provide them with some respite from the snow. They can use the straw to relieve themselves without worrying about their feet freezing because it protects them from the cold.

Important: Tomorrow morning, make sure you either go out with your dog or are watching and dressed to go out and bring them in if needed. Paws get cold, dogs become immobile, fall over and can't make it back inside.
