One reason why we like our vet practice: they actually read their texts.

Buddy the Sage is still recovering from his ear resection surgery. He's learned to use his cone to protect his personal food dish so he can eat in peace. He's also weaponized the cone with a stealthy back-of-the-knee attack. Nevertheless, he's looking forward to getting his cone off next week.

Surgery yesterday for Buddy the Sage was substantially more than we can afford at the moment. His ear resection means more comfort and fewer infections for the rest of his life.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated:

Kody is feeling much better. He's discovered the joys of skritches and truly enjoys the indoor life.

Meet Kody.
He was found hiding next to a cigarette smoking station outside of my work at Kodak. Right there on Ridge Road in Rochester where he was squished between a brick wall and six lanes of traffic.
I'm glad I always have a carrier in my car. I'm glad that my team and many others at Kodak know I run a cat rescue.
Tomorrow we go to the vet for a snap test and examination.
If you wish to donate to the cost of his care:
mewmew.link/donate will accept PayPal or credit cards
You're safe now, Kody. You'll have a comfy home from now on.

We're struggling with this horrible situation. Mew-Mew House is terrified of what a fire could do for our feline family. Mew-Mew House is also the residence of our founder, Penny Higgins. She knows she'd probably also give up her life to save as many cats as possible should fire erupt.
Community: Do you have suggests for fire suppression in a nearly 200-year-old house full of cats?
Authorities say a fire burned down a Long Island cat shelter, killing its founder, who lived there, and more than 100 of the felines he rescued.

It's true we're in the business of hospice, but that doesn't make it any easier to lose any of our residents. In the last week, we lost two.

Mew-Mew House is an 1830’s farmhouse on two acres in Williamson, NY. In this home dwells old, sick, or otherwise un-adoptable cats. These cats have the most warm and loving souls a person could ever hope to know, but found themselves homeless through no fault of their own.
Some cats have chronic challenges that have forced their loving families to find different accommodations. Some lost their homes because families had to move and could not take their beloved pets. Some of our cats’ loving pet parents passed away unexpectedly. Sometimes these cats are the innocent casualties of divorce.
Regardless, each cat here has a permanant home. We make sure their medical needs are met to the best of our ability. We don’t condemn any cat for ‘thinking outside the box.’ And as much as possible, we update families photos and stories about their cats, and involve families in any difficult decisions that must be made. Where possible, we allow families to enjoy one-on-one time with their pets when the end of life is near.
Mew-Mew House is part of Second Guess Farm, that will (one day) include Metallicat Artisanal Forge and Fermentation, Epoch Isotopes, and an as-yet-unnamed feral cat sanctuary.
