🎄 Feeling stressed from the holiday hustle?

Here’s some advice from Timmy: take a *paws*, climb to a quiet spot, observe the chaos below and demand all the cuddles 🥰

But in all seriousness, cuddles with our fur babies can help us destress and relax. Happy Friday Eve, friends! ❤️

🚗 Cold Weather Safety Reminder ❄️
As the temperatures drop, outdoor cats often seek warmth wherever they can find it—including under car hoods!

Here’s how to keep them safe:
🔹 Tap or thump on the hood before starting the car.
🔹 Look under your car and around the tires for any signs of pets.
🔹 Be extra cautious if you’ve seen strays in your area.

These simple steps can save a life. Spread the word to help keep our furry friends safe this winter! 🐾
