Good Morning Everyone,
We currently have a resident staying with us, that is looking for her owners. She was brought to us earlier this week by a client who found her between Mermaid Ln and Cheltenham Ave. She's a very sweet girl who is shy at first, but has been warming up to the staff at of Fort Washington.
We are currently prioritizing finding her owners and she will be cared for by Fort Washington Vet until this is done. She does not have a microchip, so if you recognize her or know someone whose dog recently went missing, please reach out to either location at (215)-646-5225 OR (215)-486-0002

Feel free to share this post or repost to boost her picture. Thank you Fort Washington Family! 💞

Not everything we hear about pet care is true! Let’s bust some common myths:

🚫 Myth: Cats always land on their feet.

✅ Truth: Cats are agile, but they can still get hurt without proper safety.

🚫 Myth: Dogs and cats only need heartworm, flea, and tick prevention in the warm months.

✅ Truth: Dogs and cats should be on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention year-round. Even if you have an inside-only cat or mini dog, they still need protection!

Name that tail! Someone is excited to see their doctor today! 😂

Some photos from our fun Pictures with Olaf event on Sunday. Olaf will be back next year if you missed him this time.

We'll post some wonderful event photos on Tuesday - and if you couldn't make it, Olaf will be back next December for more pictures!

It was a great event - Thank you for the donations. We will be at the next event in May collecting the same items.

Dr. Janet & Lisa volunteered at ACCT today - one of the TNR clinics. TNR is the most effective & humane way of reducing the feral/stray cat population in a community....Here, cats get spayed/neutered, flea & tick prevention, a Rabies & FVRCP vaccine, ears cleaned & tipped (that indicates to trappers that that animal has been fixed). The cats teeth are examined & general health assessment made. The cats are returned to their appropriate colony once they have recovered enough from surgery...This year, ACCT has TNR'd approx. 1,200 cats. Sorry - the video cut out at the end, but hopefully you have a little better of an idea what a TNR clinic is like.. chaotic, busy, smelly, messy and all for a worthwhile cause!
