Let's keep our pets safe!

🎃 Halloween Safety Tips for Pets! 🐾

Halloween is full of fun and treats, but it can also be stressful or even dangerous for pets. Here’s how to keep your furry friends safe this spooky season:

🍬 Keep candy out of reach — Chocolate, candies with xylitol, and other sweets can be toxic to pets. Even small amounts can cause serious health issues, so make sure all treats are stored somewhere your pets can’t access.

🏠 Create a safe space — The doorbell ringing, costumes, and groups of trick-or-treaters can overwhelm pets. Set up a quiet room with their bed, toys, and water where they can relax away from the commotion.

🕯️ Watch for decorations — Pumpkins, candles, and electrical cords may look fun, but curious pets can get burned, chew cords, or swallow small pieces. Keep decorations out of reach or opt for battery-operated alternatives.

👻 Costumes and comfort — If you dress your pet in a costume, make sure it fits properly and doesn’t restrict movement, vision, or breathing. Some pets tolerate outfits, while others may feel stressed—never force it.

🐶 Keep pets indoors — The excitement and crowds of Halloween can cause pets to run off or become anxious. Keeping them safely inside reduces the risk of accidents, lost pets, or injuries.

By following these tips, you can help your pets enjoy a calm, safe, and happy Halloween. From all of us at Main Street Veterinary, have a fun and safe holiday! 🧡

It's Black Cat Appreciation Day!

(Why yes, there are TWO Black Cat Days because they are twice as amazing!)

In all seriousness, Black Cat Appreciation Day in October is about bringing awareness to the fact that black cats have lower adoption rates than any other color of cat. Research indicates there may be several reasons for this, including superstition, and oddly enough - visibility. They can just be hard to see and photograph so people don't see just how cute they are!

In case you were wondering - we do have multiple blacks cats for adoption. Meet Fuzz, Halle and Kettle! They are ready for their forever homes - could it be yours?

Meet Kettle (F) and Kernel (M), a sweet bonded pair. These bonded siblings are ready for their forever home - they are sweet and playful and love to cuddle. They are fostered in a home with a dog and cats and are very social.

When kittens are bonded, it means they’ve formed a special connection — they sleep together, groom each other, play side by side, and find comfort and confidence in one another. They’re truly best friends!

Separating bonded kittens can cause stress and sadness because they rely on each other for security and companionship. Keeping them together helps them adjust more easily to new homes, stay social, and continue to grow into happy, well-adjusted cats.

That’s why we ask that they be adopted as a pair — double the love, double the purrs! 🐾💕

Want to meet one of the coolest cats we've ever had?

Melody was hungry and pregnant. Utilizing the Cat Distribution System, she followed a kind man home who took her to the vet and then we were contacted.

Kittens soon arrived (all adopted!) and Melody was spayed. She is thriving and is a confident, happy and very affectionate cat. She is fostered in a home with a very good girl and they regularly go on walks togther.

If you are looking for a cat that loves to walk on a leash and can acclimate to pretty much any situation - Melody is your girl!

It's National Feral Cat Day! Did you know Cats of Davidson was founded for the purpose of TNR-ing feral cats? It evolved into a full-blown rescue because where there are cats, you are certain to find kittens.

We are always looking for help controlling the feral cat population. You can help by trapping, volunteering to drive cats to or from the clinic or by donating to Cats of Davidson to fund spay/neuter and vaccine costs.

Mecklenburg County is home to around 200,000 cats that live on the street. An expert joined WCNC+ to discuss how you can help.Every day, WCNC Charlotte is st...

In loving memory of Simba...

As many of you know, Simba was an older cat who was left behind when his family moved away. At 16 years old, he was found, sick, hungry, and completely matted. We were called in August and took custody of him.

Simba was extraordinarily lucky to be adopted by one of our followers, where he was deeply loved. He was happy, had not one but TWO heating pads available, and had a new family of older cats. He even reached a chonky weight of 7 whole pounds!

Unfortunately, a couple of weeks he was admitted to the vet with difficulty breathing and X-rays showed a mass in his lungs. He died last Friday around 3am.

He was an amazing cat; everyone who came in contact with him fell in love with his sweet temperment. We are so so so grateful that his new home gave him love and affection these last 3 months. Fospice care is difficult and we hold his new mom in our hearts.

Thank you to everyone who donated for his care while when we first brought him into the rescue.

LOOKING FOR TEMPORARY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT HUMANS:

No kids, dogs, or other cats?

Do you have a quiet home where a single cat could thrive?

Lots of kids, a few dogs, and some cats?

Do you have a chaotic home full of noise and energy where kittens could have a great time?

Maybe you absolutely positively never ever ever want to adopt animals because you are a world traveller and do what you want, when you want.

Do you have commitment issues but like being in a purr-lationship?

Reasons why you should try fostering:

Your Amazon cart already has cat toys in it — make it official.

It’s like Netflix, but with live cuddles and zero commitment.

Free entertainment. (Have you ever seen kittens discover their tails?)

You’ll never eat alone again… or p*e alone… or type alone.

Your therapist will call it “healing.” We call it “cat fur exposure therapy.”

You’ll suddenly have a legit excuse for being late: “There was a kitten situation.”

Because “empty lap syndrome” is a real thing.

You’ll feel like a hero… who smells faintly of tuna.
