Sometimes in life, you look for one thing… and find something completely unexpected. That’s how Nikon’s life was saved. 💛

This striking tortie came to Tree House showing signs of a urinary tract infection. When treatment didn’t resolve her symptoms, performed an abdominal ultrasound—and discovered not just a bladder stone, but also a dangerous issue with her gallbladder that could have ruptured. ⚠️

Our shelter medical team, led by Dr. Foose, successfully performed surgery to remove both the bladder stone and her gallbladder. (Fun fact: cats can live happy, healthy lives without a gallbladder when it’s safely removed with a procedure called a cholecystectomy.) ⚕️

Dr. Foose shared, “It was a delight to provide this treatment for Nikon and expand my surgical skills. Our team carefully weighed the risks and benefits of attempting this challenging procedure in-house, and I was pleased to find it very manageable after doing my research. Tree House shines when we’re able to offer complex veterinary care to our cats—it opens the door to even more adoption opportunities for them.”

Now Nikon is healing in foster care and well on her way to joining our adoptable . Here’s to a smooth recovery and a bright future ahead! ✨

🎃 No tricks, just treats this Halloween! 🎃
Our Veterinary Wellness Center is serving up affordable spay and neuter appointments for cats and dogs—and spots are filling up fast!

What’s spay/neuter?
🐾 It’s a quick procedure that prevents unplanned litters. Spay = female pets, neuter = male pets.

Why spay/neuter?
💖 Health perks: Lower risk of reproductive cancers and infections
💖 Behavior perks: Less marking, spraying, fighting, and door-dashing

By choosing spay/neuter, you’re helping us save lives and keep pets happy and healthy with their families.

Book your appointment today and treat your pet to a healthier tomorrow!

🚨 Breaking News: Tree House’s very own Teensy Weensy and Dr. P spotted on WGN9! 🚨

With Halloween around the corner, we’re on a mission to debunk those urban legends that keep sweet cats, like Teensy Weensy, from finding loving homes during this time of year. At Tree House, we’re celebrating National Black Cat Day today and every day, knowing that adopting all animals year-round gives them the best chance at their Happy Ending Tail.

But it’s no superstition that pets may be easily spooked during the Halloween festivities. Keep the scaries away this weekend with a few simple tricks and treats:

🎃 Secure the Door: Keep pets away from escape points during trick-or-treat hours, and ensure pets are wearing collars with ID tags in case of a dash.
👻 Comfy Costumes: Soft, vest-style outfits that fasten around the chest or waist are best! When in doubt, watch your pet’s body language to gauge their comfort.
🔮 Distraction Wins: Use food puzzles or toys to keep pets happily occupied. P.S. - The pets love treats, too!
⚠️ Hidden Hazards: Keep candy out of reach. Chocolate, raisins, macadamia nuts, and xylitol (found in sugar-free candy and gum) are toxic to pets.

Shadowheart and Honeybee might not have started as a bonded pair, but somewhere along the way, they’ve become the best of friends. 👯‍♂️💕

While they came to us at different times, they lucked out and headed off to their Happy Ending Tails together! ☘️ Shadow wasted no time claiming laps and hearts, while Bee took her time to bloom into a courageous, nuzzle-loving sweetie pie. 🥧

These two can be found peering out the windows to watch birds and pups pass by. 🐥🐶 Of course, with the calm comes the chaos of playtime wrestling matches—usually initiated by unsuspecting Honeybee! 🍯

Every great friendship starts with a little leap of faith, and these two dove right in. Their adopter couldn’t be happier, and honestly, neither could we! 😍

🌸 Who’s that fabulous diva rocking the flower cone?

Meet Lime Spindrift! This confident girl recently had her tail amputated before returning to Tree House. As it turns out, Miss Spindrift had been attacking her own tail whenever it moved—a behavior linked to feline hyperesthesia and chronic pain from a bone abnormality in her hip. 🦴 Even after surgery, she continued to fixate on what remained, so her loving adopter—wanting the best for her—brought her back to us for extra care.

Now in foster care, Lime Spindrift is working with our team to find calm and comfort as she learns to make peace with her tail. Her care plan includes behavioral therapy to help redirect her attention and medical management to ease her chronic pain. 💚

Once Lime Spindrift settles into a routine that helps her feel her best (tail and all!), she’ll be ready to meet her future family.
