In honor of National Adopt a Cat Month, Marcia wanted to share an update on Dorian! The first photo shows him on Day 1, right after he arrived with 11 other cats from a single rescue location. He was full of worms and likely in**ed. Among the rescued cats, he stood out as the only white one, and I fell in love with him instantly. I pleaded with Norma to let me take him home, but she insisted on waiting until he received medical care. A few days later, he was all mine, and he quickly transformed into the handsome cat in the second photo—our BIG BLUE EYE GUY, whose stunning looks won everyone's hearts.

Over time, his colors darkened, and he grew into the big boy you see helping Mom at work in the pictures. Dorian has quite a following, especially after his recent entry in America's Favorite Pet contest, where he made it to the quarterfinals on his first try! He is my husband's therapy cat, snuggling in his arms and melting his heart daily. From a sickly kitten to a healthy 14-pounder, Dorian has come a long way and remains just as stunning as ever. He is the fourth cat we've adopted from HHPR, and all four of our current fur babies are from their adoptions.

Did you know that summer can be both fun and challenging for our feline friends? Here are some purr-fect tips and facts to keep your kitty safe and happy this season! 🐱

Hydration is Key 💧
Cats need plenty of water to stay cool. Make sure your cat always has fresh water available, and consider adding ice cubes to their water bowl for an extra treat!

Sun risk for Cats? ☀️
Cats can get sunburned too, especially those with light-colored fur or sparse hair. Keep your kitty indoors during peak sun hours!

Cool Spaces 🧊
Cats love finding cool spots to lounge. Provide a shaded area or a cool mat for them to relax on during hot days.

Beware of Heatstroke 🥵
Signs of heatstroke in cats include excessive panting, drooling, and lethargy. If you notice these symptoms, move your cat to a cooler place and contact your vet immediately.

Flea and Tick Prevention 🐜
Summer is peak season for fleas and ticks. Ensure your cat is protected with regular flea and tick treatments.
