Stitch, a grey tabby, is a smart and handsome boy. Rescued from a patch of woods in Destin,
FL., he had a damaged cornea and had wandered away from his littermates, if there were any.
He was so tiny but strong. He was bottle fed and quickly began to gain weight. His eye was
treated but unable to be saved, however he was very active all during that time. The eye was
removed in early October and his recovery has been amazing, no complications. He is
healthy, very active, loves to play. Having one eye has not been a hindrance. He has a good
appetite and is funny and loving, although I’m not sure he knows he is a cat. He knows his
name, he knows “ball” and will look for it when you tell him to find it, and he knows what
“hungry” means! He started using the litter box when he was very young and has done
everything a cat should do from the time he was small. He is up on all vaccines, etc. and is
scheduled to be neutered in January. He needs a forever home. His current “mom is older and
doesn’t want to trip over this sweet boy but has given him everything possible to make his life
comfortable. He loves to eat, climb, play hard and fast. He chirps and fusses at his toys when
playing—so cute! And he has the loudest purr. Otherwise, he’s not that verbal—yet.
If you are interested, please call Mary Lowe. 205-586-1820.

Halloween Safety Tips:

• Ensure your cat is wearing a collar and current ID tag, and that their microchip info is current with the shelter or veterinarian who implanted their chip.
• Keep pets in quiet room with their favorite bed or blanket so they don’t get spooked by the noisy visitors and dart when you're opening your door for trick-or-treaters.
• Keep candy safely away from your pets. Chocolate and cocoa contain theobromine and caffeine, both of which are dangerous for dogs and cats and many candies are sweetened with Xylitol, an artificial sweetener that can lead to hypoglycemia, resulting in seizures and liver failure.
• Be careful with the decorations you choose. Candles and lit jack-o'-lanterns are fire hazards. Dangerous decorations include anything from fake blood, which can be poisonous, string lights or cobwebs that can be a chocking or strangling hazard, to small components of costumes that can be consumed.
• Essential oils are toxic to cats. Keep your kitties far away from them.

Do you recognize this cat? He was found Monday after the storms in the Old Cahaba area of Helena near the New Castle Subdivision. He is very friendly. Does not have a microchip. He is a bit matted but looks like someone had shaved a mat out from under his chin. If you recognize this kitty and know who the owner is, please call Metro Cat Clinic @ 205-985-2023!

Celebrating National Pet Week! Here are some tips and information on trimming your cats nails.
Trimming helps prevent your cat’s claws from becoming overgrown; long claws can become uncomfortable and potentially even painful. They can also cause more damage to furniture, get stuck in carpets and clothing, and will hurt more if your cat catches you when playing.
Use the right clippers. Pictured are the ones we recommend. You can purchase these from us.
Get your cat used to the clippers. Put the clipper out for investigation and give a treat when they investigate the clipper. Repeat this process several times.
Get them comfortable with their toes and claws being touched. Slowly, do this without the clipper, then add in doing this with the clipper.
Once everyone is comfortable with this, you can start trimming nails. When you are finished, don’t forget to give a treat!
Still struggling? Call us for further advice or to schedule a nail trim with us.
