Fear Free Friday is back with a Did You Know?
We all love to spoil our pets- extra attention, extra treats and even letting them sleep in our bed. But does spoiling lead to behavior issues? In most cases, the answer is NO.

Behavior issues can have a variety of causes, most likely due to genetic predisposition, lack of early socialization/exposure, medical conditions and environmental factors such as trauma or loss.

So spoiling them is not a problem, in fact we encourage you to give them extra attention, extra time, extra treats (as long as not overweight) and let them sleep in your bed. You may just all get a better night's sleep 😴💖

Meet Wilbur, a brave little kitty who came in after not eating and vomiting for several days. After some investigation, we discovered he had ingested a toy dart! 🐾

Thanks to our Angel Fund, we were able to provide the care Wilbur needed, including a feeding tube while he stayed with us for several days. Dr. Sheldon performed surgery to safely remove the dart, and Wilbur is now back on his feet and feeling much better! 🙌

A huge thank you to our amazing staff and donors who made this possible (YOU). Wilbur’s journey is a reminder of how vital your support is in helping animals in need. 💖
