Jyn silly girl. Reminder deaf dogs are so special. It may take a little extra work to ensure you communicate and meet their needs. But, everyday with a deaf dog is so incredible. It truly is amazing how they watch everything you do so they can understand you. As if we ever needed words to communicate with our pets. They speak the language of LOVE!

So true, get a cat.

This is not financial advice…

Odin has completed all his treatments and is feeling better again. He's back to biting! That's how you can tell he's feeling much better!

Wobbly time!

This is Teddy. Teddy is being naughty. He found his way up on top of the bunny cage cover. He is so proud of himself. Just look at that face! Anytime he accomplishes something new he is one HAPPY boy. Teddy is also proud because he killed the plant! Teddy has been busy.

Sweet feral boy Yoda. He's still in his treatment cage. Now that we've caught him we are working with him to see if we can get him to be a bit more social. Previously, he had made so much progress, but once we released him he slid back to his feral ways. This morning he allowed some great quality time with chin rubs and neck scratches. Even got him to purr and make feral dough! When you hear a feral kitty purr for the first time it truly is amazing!!!!!

What a well cared for feral kitty looks like. She's getting older! We've had Mama kitty for a while now. While most feral kitties can be returned to their location, Mama kitty could not be. She has remained with us ever since delivering her kittens many years ago. She is a very stubborn girl. Bit of a spit fire as well. She will stay high up on her 'perch' demanding we drop some Temptations in her bowl. Last year she learned she could 'call' to us! She fully takes advantage of that now. Calling to us when we enter so she can get her nums.

So technically today was our last day of vacation - and of course we spent it doing paperwork and making office calls. My last 'business' call of the day went in an entirely new direction than expected, she was very nasty. Let's just say we will no longer be working with them. Is there such a thing as customer service anymore??? When I deal with someone who is respectful and actually trying to help, even when they can't, I make sure they know they are appreciated. I'd rather stick to furry interactions, sure I often feel judged, and I get scratched and bit - but, I do still feel the love!

Still on vacation! It is funny how much work there is still to do, even when you are suppose to be taking time off. While on vacation we got more pets 'fixed' so they can enjoy their new homes, & fed a whole bunch of kitties & doggies! Starting the new year with plenty to do. And of course while our brain cells are getting just a tad bit of rest, we have been working on a new program to help save even more kitties! Why kitties? Because, honestly they are still not being treated equal to their doggie friends. Your learn more as we we promote our new program. Happy 1st week of the new year!

We ❤️ getting happy notes:
From Cape Cod: " I called A Helping Paw for assistance with a stray that may have been feral. They are so knowledgeable and helped me through what to do. I now understand stray/feral a bit more and will know what to do in the future. They are sending an outdoor cat house to me in order to help my situation. I am extremely thankful for their kindness and knowledge."

Kind people who help their stray friends truly are angels. It is what makes the world so much better for these kitties.

Mitzi update: As we are a bit delayed from being on vacation, we just wanted to post an incredible update on Mitzi kitty. Her life is no longer in danger. She is recovering and doing awesome! A HUGE thank you to those who donated towards her care.

We get so very many calls for pets who's lives are at risk. For many their situation is so very dire, waiting a day could cost their lives. This is why our medical fund is our # 1 donation need. They simply do not have the time for us to raise funds, they need help immediately. Knowing there is a treatment or a medication that can save them, yet no funds is so heartbreaking. With your kindness and generosity we can save them & give them long happy lives!

What a lovely surprise from the C. Family! Even a gift for the humans! Yoda who needs to get his weight back up will truly enjoy the Reveal. And Daisy, our old girl will love her new raised bowl. We can tell her old body is getting on the stiff side, so this is such a great help for her. And of course, thank you for adding some laughs to our daily routine. We'll be thinking of your kindness everyday!
