It is always a pleasure to partner with the Maryland Food Bank Mobile Market and the Charles County Department of Health every month at the firehouse in Pisgah. The Van Go to Ironsides and Nanjemoy also stops to let folks shop on their way home from work. We were able to distribute 25 bags of dog food and 23 bags of cat food. It was a good night.

A multi-state outbreak of Equine Herpes Virus (EHV/EHM) has been reported in Texas and Oklahoma, linked to barrel racing and rodeo-type events. Maryland has one unrelated confirmed case.

Owners whose horses attended these events or any event should:
• Isolate horses for 21 days after last contact
• Monitor twice daily for fever, respiratory signs, or neurological symptoms
• Avoid sharing equipment or close contact with other horses
• Contact your veterinarian immediately if any signs appear
Event organizers and owners should follow strict biosecurity measures to prevent further spread.

Update on Jack the cat who had his eye removed. He is recovering well with us but not being a very good kitty about wearing his cone. We are trying to keep him as quiet as possible and keep him from irritating his surgery site. We received some bad news about his biopsy. Unfortunately the eye injury was actually a cancerous tumor- a squamous cell carcinoma. If Jack continues to recover well we plan to return him back home to his family and cat friends this week, and keep a very close watch on any sign that the cancer may be returning. Thank you all again for your donations that helped Jack get the surgery he needed.

Help For Pets is not a rescue. We do not have kitten foster homes and we do not do kitten adoptions. The shelters and rescues are full. We have found many kittens outdoors while doing TNR that would like to have indoor homes before the winter. Most will need socialization which requires kindness, patience and time. We will be doing courtesy posts for these kittens and can connect you with their caretakers. You can email us at [email protected]
These junkyard kittens are approximately 12 weeks old. The caretaker can pet them while they are eating.

Thank you for all the messages we received today for Jack. He made it through eye removal surgery today just fine and is back with us for rest and recovery. He also had a small growth in his ear removed. We would like to thank all the veterinarians and their staff who took such great care of Jack. Dr. Becker at White Oak Urgent Care first saw Jack on Saturday, diagnosed his heart murmur and started him on antibiotics and pain medication for his eye. And especially Potomac Animal Wellness Services for surgery and their excellent care of Jack today. Dr. Quigley did a fantastic job removing his eye and the growth in his ear. Vet tech Shylah monitored his vitals and anesthesia throughout the surgery, since he was such high risk due to his heart disease. We are hoping Jack will continue to have a smooth recovery and soon be able to go back home to his human and cat family. Thank you for your donations that make it possible for us to help sick and injured animals in our community.
