Our volunteer Bethany…it was a very long process, but you did it!!

Meet Bethany Narveson, owner of Discovery Preschool. With help from the ND SBDC, Bethany expanded her preschool to meet growing demand. Her advisor, Ashley Louw, was instrumental in securing key funding, including the Rural Workforce Investment Program (RWIP) grant and a loan from Forward Devils Lake - Economic Development.

Yes, it's true, these cats were at risk of euthanasia by tomorrow in Mandan if they were not rescued. Mandan Animal Control has changed their policies and will now only hold pets five days, plus a few extra before they may make the decision to euthanize.

We were working on rearranging cats in our shelter to try to fit these kitties in, but thankfully, Furry Friends was able to take them today.

We are currently taking in a batch of kittens, plus are working to arrange an intake of more kittens. We work often with Mandan Animal Control, but sadly, we are not always able to take every cat that arrives there. We are bombarded daily with calls and requests to intake stray cats and to take in owner surrenders.

If you watch the social media of the other local rescues - everyone is completely FULL!!!! That means they cannot take more animals and preserve the health and wellness of the animals currently in their care. It's an impossible situation.

The public must help. Here are things that MUST happen in order to even put a dent in the pet overpopulation problem in North Dakota.
1) Please ADOPT. If you are adopting a cat, please take two. It is much healthier for them to have a friend, and more fun for you!
2) SPAY and NEUTER. If you are a pet owner, you must do this - for the health of our communities and the health of your pet. Research the health benefits. Overpopulation will never end until everyone is responsible and alters their pets. CDHS offers $50 coupons. Give us a call.
3) DO NOT let cats roam. Most larger towns do have a leash law and that includes cats. Unaltered cats that roam will absolutely contribute to the thousands of unwanted kittens that are born every year. If your unaltered cat is roaming, you must be okay with them suffering and being killed by cars, predators, the weather, parasites, on and on. And you must be okay with the kittens born outside to suffer unimaginable pain, sickness, and death.
4) If you can't adopt, please consider fostering, donating, or volunteering at a rescue or shelter.

Shelters and rescues alone cannot fix all the problems caused by irresponsible humans. We ALL need help. Please get involved. Believe us, being a part of the solution will fill your heart.

Everyone please keep an eye out for Oakley. He went missing on the 5th in Lakota. The whole town is aware. He's such a cutie with the little heart shape around his face! Please reach out if you see him!

It has been asked if our t-shirts are ever for sale.

We are considering doing a fundraiser where $5 of each shirt would go directly to the rescue. We are wondering what interest there is before we would move forward. We don’t want Decorated Wearables to go through a lot of work creating the store and then getting very few sales.

Currently our t-shirt has white print. We are debating on going with the white print again or the black print if you care to share your opinion. Please excuse the white print photo as it is my shirt in bad lighting and the black print photo was the proof from years ago 🤣🤣

We would be offering a choice of t-shirt, long sleeve t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie. Prices would be $20-$30 plus tax.

Please let us know if you would be interested and your opinion on white or black for the print color in the comments.

As always, please help us grow our page and share our new page link:

Did you know you can help the rescue just by using the heart ❤️ instead of the “like” on a post?

It helps our posts get seen more! Such an easy and FREE way to help 💕🐱💕

Jagger and Ginger found a home together and we couldn’t be happier! Jagger is a sweet boy who loves to snuggle and has been overlooked for a long time. He came in as a bottle baby with 4 siblings and grew up in the rescue. After 879 days in the rescue he finally found his forever home. Ginger is a sweet, cuddly, playful girl so she was picked as a perfect match for Jagger. More so than we realized when he was scared in his new home and she was there for him every step of the way, showing him it was ok. She was so sweet 💕. We will miss Ginger’s little raspy meow she used to get your attention and both of their snuggles. Enjoy your new life Jagger and Ginger…you deserve it!!

Well, Tony’s bill was a little more than we expected at $861.00. This was for blood work and 3 complex teeth extractions.

Thank you to the three people who paid anonymously on our balance. Our previous balance has been paid, so that just leaves Tony’s bill and the 8 rabies appts for another $645.34 that begin today. So we still have a big balance if anyone can help, but it’s not as big as it was! Thank you so much!

**********

We will be doing our annual matching fundraiser soon, but we will unfortunately need help paying our DLAC balance prior to those funds being available.

If anyone has the means and would like to help us out, you can call Devils Lake Animal Clinic at 701-662-3321 and ask to pay on TLC-ND Animal Rescues account. If you prefer to donate directly, you can do so on our website and note that it is for our DLAC balance. The link is:

Update:
Owner located and kitty has been bonded out of jail 🙂

If you are missing this cat, it was just dropped off at the pound. One of our volunteers found it, but it will be at the pound for the owner to hopefully claim it!

We thought our sweet Emily would be adopted quickly, but she was in the rescue for 300 days. She is so sweet and loves to snuggle. She was on special digestive food which deterred some adopters due to the cost. But Emily found her special family that loves her snuggles and can meet all her needs. We will miss you Emily, but we couldn’t be happier for you!

Our sweet girl Franki has found her forever home! We will miss the way she would “talk” to us and the adorable way she sits with her tongue slightly sticking out. She is such a sweet and affectionate girl. We are beyond happy that Franki now has her very own family and doesn’t have to share them with any other kitties 💕
