We do not use this company's chips and most of the local Fort Worth shelters, rescues, spay/neuter clinics, etc don't either (to our knowledge), but might be a good idea to go to this site and type in the chip # of your pet just in case. Also serves as a reminder to make sure all your data is current.

⚠️ Microchip advisory

Save This Life, a microchip company, has abruptly shut down and it’s being reported that their database has been unlinked from national registries.

Animals with Save This Life microchips can likely not be tracked by their microchip due to this closure.

Look at this beautiful senior lady. She was brought to our clinic a few months ago because her nose and skin developed sores and scabs. She was a friendly stray several neighbors were feeding and a kind person (already our client) brought her for treatment. She turned out to have a microchip. The company was contacted, and the original caretaker was thrilled to be reunited. She had gone missing several months earlier, and her family was heartbroken. (As for the skin, she had mosquito bite hypersensitivity on her nose and flea bites; now her nose just has scars- it is not currently painful or infected.) She has been reunited with her family and has gained weight back that she lost, healed up her various skin lesions, and is thriving. Thank you so much to our client that brought her in! And we're so happy she had a microchip and got reunited.

We have exciting news- Dr. Irving is pregnant with her first baby! Today was her gender reveal party (icing in the middle of the cupcakes Dr. Loupe made was either pink or blue). Toothpicks were to make it personal since she loves dragons. We all wrote our guesses. We'll reveal this weekend with pics of her. What is your guess?

Did you know cats have a second "nose"? 🐾👃

It’s called the Jacobson's organ (or vomeronasal organ, if you want to sound fancy), and it’s located on the roof of their mouth. Cats use it to "smell" things in a whole different way—kind of like a built-in chemical detector! When your kitty pauses to open their mouth slightly after sniffing something (called the Flehmen response), they’re analyzing pheromones and other scents.

Basically, your cat’s out here being a tiny scientist, sniffing for secrets in the air. 🔬😺

Have any of you been to Old San Juan, PR and enjoyed the cats? Every time I've gone, they've been a highlight. Many are fixed and vaccinated by Save A Gato. The US NPS plans to "remove" many of these cats. Alley Cat Allies is urging cat lovers to post on social media platforms- National Park Service - US : Don’t Kill Puerto Rico Cats and tag Alley Cat Allies. They encourage signs with your country and

Over the next few weeks, we're going to feature some local rescues/sanctuaries we frequently work with. Today we are featuring Harmony Haven Cat Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all-volunteer cat rescue in Weatherford, Texas. They take in cats on the euthanasia list at area shelters (or sick/hurt friendly community cats) and get them as healthy as possible, then either find homes for them or house them permanently. Kitties get to have enclosed outdoor access and receive excellent medical care. Donations (monetary, food/litter, or put on their account at our clinic for services) are quickly used and greatly appreciated. paypal.me/HarmonyHavenCats
