🐾❤️ BREAKING NEWS for Cat Lovers: First-Ever Drug to Treat Feline Heart Disease Nears Approval! ❤️🐾

For the first time ever, there is REAL HOPE for cats living with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—the most common form of heart disease in cats.

Thanks to groundbreaking research led by Dr. Joshua Stern at NC State College of Veterinary Medicine and TriviumVet, a new feline-specific formulation of rapamycin (sirolimus) has shown the ability to reverse heart muscle thickening in cats with HCM. This isn’t just treating the symptoms—this is working on the actual cause of the disease.

👉 Why This Matters:
• HCM affects up to 1 in 7 cats.
• It can cause sudden collapse, heart failure, or blood clots.
• Until now, there was no direct treatment—just symptom management.
• This new drug has already received conditional FDA approval (March 2025) and may be widely available soon.

With early diagnosis and this revolutionary treatment, many cats with heart disease could have longer, healthier lives.

💛 What You Can Do:
• Schedule regular vet check-ups—especially for breeds prone to HCM like Maine C***s, Ragdolls, and Persians.
• Watch for subtle signs: lethargy, difficulty breathing, fainting, or weakness.
• Share this post to spread the word—because this is truly life-changing news for our feline companions.

🐾 Abandoned, Blind, but Not Broken 🐾
Help Us Help Her Thrive

This beautiful girl was left behind at a spay/neuter clinic—no one ever came back for her. She’s since undergone double eye enucleation to relieve her from the pain she was in, and while she’s physically healed, she’s still adjusting to life without sight.

Her veterinary care has been fully covered thanks to the kind people at Animal Allies Clinic, but she’s sort of on the thin side—she desperately needs help to gain weight and rebuild her strength.

We’re asking for help with:
🥫 Food (wet and dry) to help her gain weight
🛏 Cozy beds and comfort items to help her feel safe in her new world
❤️ Support for her ongoing daily care as she adjusts to blindness

Even the smallest donation can help us buy a can of food, a soft blanket, or a toy she can enjoy through sound or scent.

👉Ways to donate linked in our linktree below

She’s already shown us she’s a fighter with a gentle heart—now we just need to help her feel whole again.

Thank you for helping us give her the second chance she deserves. 💕

🐾 Meet Samantha (Sammy)! 🐾

Sammy is a one-year-old social butterfly disguised as a cat 😻. She’s everyone’s best friend—even if you didn’t know you needed one yet! Expect her to cozy up for naps, binge-watch Netflix with you, and some very serious biscuit-making sessions 🍪💤.

She’s medium on the play scale but off the charts when it comes to curiosity 🔍. Open a drawer, bag, or laptop? She’s there, ready to investigate. Privacy? Nope. With Sammy, you’re never alone again 😂.

✅ Fully vetted (spayed, vaccinated, microchipped)
✅ Combo negative
✅ Dewormed & on flea prevention 🐛🚫

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, slightly nosy shadow with a built-in purr engine, Sammy is ready to move in and take over your heart ❤️🐱.

📍 Located in Taylors, SC

🎆🐾 Fireworks & Felines: Keep Your Cats Safe This 4th of July! 🐱🇺🇸

Every year around Independence Day, countless cats go missing due to the loud, sudden, and scary explosions of fireworks. 😿

Here’s how to protect your cats this holiday:

🔒 1. Bring ALL cats inside – Even your friendly outdoor explorer. Fireworks can cause panic, and scared cats will bolt through doors, windows, or screens.

🛏️ 2. Create a safe space – Set up a cozy, quiet room with food, litter, and a hiding spot. Add soft music or white noise to help mask the booms.

🚪 3. Secure your home – Close windows, lock doors, and block pet doors. One open window = one lost cat.

😌 4. Stay calm – Your cat picks up on your energy. Reassure them gently and avoid forcing cuddles.

🔍 5. Check microchips!
A chip won’t help if your info is outdated! Go to 👉 www.petmicrochiplookup.org and make sure your address and phone number are current.

🐾 If your cat isn’t microchipped, message us. We can help. It’s quick, painless, and permanent protection. We will chip your cat for just $15!

🚨 REMEMBER: Animal shelters see a spike in lost pets around July 4th. Let’s keep YOUR cat out of the shelter and safely home where they belong.

💬 Share this with your fellow cat lovers. One post could save a life.

Peach 🍑 is sick and we need your help!

Edited to add - Peach and Peaches (eye kitten) are 2 different kittens. Sorry for the confusion!

We’re asking for all the good thoughts, healing vibes, and prayers tonight for our sweet little Peach. She’s currently at the vet with a possible liver issues, and we’re still waiting to understand exactly what’s going on. What we do know is that she started declining today — lethargic, not really wanting to eat, and just not acting like herself. She’s had bouts of diarrhea off and on over the past week, but this is the first time she’s truly looked and felt sick.

This is especially heartbreaking because her two siblings passed away last week, and we’re terrified this could be something congenital. She’s sweet, snuggly, and has such a gentle little spirit. She means the world to us, and we are doing everything we can to fight for her.

As you can imagine, emergencies like this are both emotionally and financially draining. Donations can be called in directly to Critter Care Wellness & Rehabilitation in Spartanburg their number is 864-576-3484 under South Carolina Community Cat Project (Peach). Every dollar goes toward diagnostics, treatment, and anything else she needs to get better. Ways to donate directly to us via linktree can be found below ⬇️

Please keep Peach in your thoughts tonight!

🐾 Why Vaccines Matter: Protecting Cats from Deadly Diseases

Vaccines save lives—it’s that simple. Every year, thousands of cats suffer or die from preventable diseases. Whether your cat is indoors or outdoors, vaccination is one of the most important things you can do to keep them safe.

🦠 Common (and Preventable) Feline Diseases:
• Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper): Highly contagious and often fatal—especially in kittens.

• Feline Herpesvirus & Calicivirus: Causes severe upper respiratory infections; spreads rapidly in shelters and multi-cat homes.

• Feline Leukemia (FeLV): A virus that attacks the immune system and can lead to cancer.

• Rabies: Always fatal and can be transmitted to humans—vaccination is required by law in many areas.

💉 What Do Vet Schools Recommend?
Veterinary programs like Cornell, UC Davis, and Texas A&M follow the guidelines from AAHA and AAFP:
• Start core vaccines (FVRCP) at 6–8 weeks of age, repeat every 3–4 weeks until 16 weeks

• Rabies vaccine by 12–16 weeks

• FeLV vaccine is highly recommended for all kittens and outdoor cats

✅ Why Vaccinate?
• Prevent suffering, expensive treatment, or euthanasia
• Protect kittens when they’re most vulnerable
• Stop the spread of disease to other animals
• Some viruses (like panleukopenia) can survive in the environment for over a year

Even indoor-only cats aren’t immune—diseases can hitch a ride on your shoes, clothes, or other pets.

A healthy cat is a vaccinated cat. Don’t wait—protect them today.
