**HAPPY UPDATE: ADOPTED** FULLY VETTED ONCE-EMACIATED KITTY “SHRIMPIE” 🍤🐈‍⬛ RESCUED @ 3rd Ward H-E-B NEEDS FOSTER, RESCUE, PLEDGES OR FOREVER RESPONSIBLE HOME. ($760 IN PLEDGES TO REPUTABLE RESCUE)

This update is long overdue but was worth the wait: lucky kitty Shrimpie had found a forever loving home with one of my former neighbors. Her new Mom is one of the most responsible pet parent I know and Shrimpie will never lack or want anything. Apparently, the little girl LOVES to be brushed and really enjoys her kitty condo. Thank you all for caring, sharing and pledging. Please donate your pledges to help another animal in need. With gratitude.

HOUSTON, TX: FULLY VETTED ONCE-EMACIATED KITTY “SHRIMPIE” 🍤🐈‍⬛ RESCUED @ 3rd Ward H-E-B NEEDS FOSTER, RESCUE, PLEDGES OR FOREVER RESPONSIBLE HOME.

🎥 of Shrimpie: https://youtu.be/2p0gT_ZivBQ?si=RWTqgyAQMjkv2dAz

I found this little cutie on the verge of death on June 13, 2024 desperately scrounging for food in a small pothole in the middle of the HEB driveway. It was a miracle she had not been run over. She was so underweight that her ribs and hip bones were jutting out and seemed so weak and lethargic that I thought she would have to be euthanized. Enters the amazing staff at Greenway Animal Clinic to the rescue. That poor little girl weighed a ridiculously low 3.9 lbs and so seriously dehydrated that not even a bit of blood could be drawn for a combo test. After 3 hours of subcutaneous fluid, a small amount of blood to do a combo test was finally able to be drawn and the little girl she tested NEGATIVE FOR FIV/FeLV. The text day bloodwork looked normal and the little girl was treated for intestinal parasites with Albon. She got the name “Shrimpie” because she loves to sleep in a half curve like a 🍤. She took on quickly to the comfort of a soft bed, yummy kibble and has become a pâté snob while regaining her health and strength at the clinic. Shrimpie has now been at the vet clinic for 1.5 month and is a happy 8-lb kitty who is in desperate search of a lap to call her own. She is FULLY VACCINATED, SPAYED, MICROCHIPPED, on flea preventative and currently on Clavamox for chin acne. She is about 2 YEARS OLD and wants to spend her 8 remaining lives indoors with a loving & responsible human to call her own. Based on the terrible predicament she found herself in. Shrimpie clearly does not have any survival skills and it is imperative that she be an INDOOR CAT ONLY. She is a tame and a tad shy at first until she gets to know you better. She has not been tested with dogs, but given her timid natures she would be better in a home with no dogs, which is why I cannot take her in or foster her as my Cerberus would hurt her.

If you would like to pledge $$ to help get sweet little Shrimpie in a reputable rescue, or if you are rescued can take her in or a caring person willing to foster or adopt this darling little girl, please email [email protected]. Please share far and wide, so Shrimpie can live in a home environment and continue to thrive now that she is a healthy cat. Thank you!

The temperatures are getting dangerous for people and pets this week. Learn the signs of heat distress, keep your dog walks to cooler parts of the day, and ensure pets have access to fresh, cool water at all times. Remember, if it's too hot for you to be outside, it's too hot for your pets.

The Safe Outdoor Dogs Act requires that pets not be left out in extreme temperatures, so reach out to your local humane law enforcement if you see an animal in danger. More info here: https://www.thln.org/a_brand_new_day

Exciting news for all 😻cat😻 parents out there - FREE CAT WEBINAR - Give Your Cat The Best Life Possible by the original cat expert Anitra Frazier.
Anitra Frazier is the author of the first book on holistic cat health, The New Natural Cat, 86 years young cat whisperer from New York.

Anitra has been an advocate for cats since the early 80's and has been a lifelong animal lover. She is a national treasure in the holistic animal care community and we are very excited to be hearing from her.

Years ago Frazier worked for a vet who sent her to homes to groom cats. While she was grooming she noticed a host of problems from dull coats to allergies, eating disorders and communication problems. By working with the vet, paying close attention to the cats and working with the cat’s parents she started finding solutions to some the problems she was coming across. During this time and beyond she gathered a wealth of information which is provided in her books.

This hour will be spent in a interview format - Anitra will share her stories about human-cat bond, how to give our cats the best life possible, and answer cat related questions you may have. You will receive the video recording after the webinar.
