🛑 DO NOT GIFT AN ANIMAL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

We can't say it enough: DON'T GIVE PETS AS GIFTS unless the recipient knows in advance and is ready, willing and able to take care of that animal for it's entire natural life. We're talking about a 15-20 year commitment in the case of a cat. Animals are not novelties; they're living beings that depend on us for food, shelter, healthcare, interaction and love. They need to be taken to the vet regularly and in case of emergency. If the recipient can't provide all that, choose another gift this time around.

Instead of surprising someone with a pet, consider alternatives like providing pet-related gifts, or if the recipient truly wants a pet, you can support them in the process of adopting from a shelter or rescue organization when they are ready for the commitment.

Big shout out to Pioneer Pet products for helping me get the parts for some of my stainless steel raindrop fountains. This means I'm not having to buy new fountains just for parts.
Unfortunately no online retailer's or local brick and mortar stores carry the inner replacement parts, just the pumps.
These fountains have been in constant use since 2016, with only having replaced a few pumps after cords got shredded by youngsters😹 (even with cord covers.😏) and there's now a list of who has lost fountain privileges...
They have been very durable and have maintained their good looks even with constant use and trips through the dishwasher and sanitizers.
Very nice to find a company that has such great customer service, phone got answered on the 2 ring by a real person! Very impressed.

I got an amazingly awesome text message Wednesday.
Clients that met Mr Kio AKA George when their cats stayed with me, adopted him two weeks ago!🎉🎉
So he now has his forever home.
With window seats, laps on the couch and meals on demand 😸.
I am so grateful that they not only adopted him but, let me know he now is in his forever home. 💖
A huge thank you to Purrfect Pals for caring for him while he waited for the perfect place to be.

On other fronts we are very busy. Lots of folks traveling now and over the next couple of months.
Very grateful to have been able to help out two cats and their people that had a house fire a couple weeks ago. I'm getting better at Tetris ing rooms to create spaces during trying times for some folks.
Cats are doing well, and I think I have finally gotten all the smoke grit out of their coats.

Been a very busy couple of weeks, so thought it was time to update a bit
Mr Kio AKA George is now at Purrfect Pals Sanctuary and when he gains a bit more weight will be up for adoption, if not adopted he will stay with them until he crosses the rainbow bridge.
By all reports he's doing great and is slowly learning friendships with the other infirmary cats. He has access to and amazing catio but for now seems to prefer to nap in the " sunshine "puddles " in the doorway and windows.

This woman and her son do so much in the rescue world. If you can find it in your heart and pocketbook in these hard times, please feel free to give what you feel moved to give and share this post.

I'm not sure how to start this post. Because I'm angry, I'm sad. And honestly yet another emergency I can't afford.

When I got her and I started to clean her up. I realized this is Really, really bad. I had photos, and on the phone with the vet in minutes. My fear is, both eyes needing removed. She is skinny. She can't smell food.

I'm out of incubators. Every incubator is full. She needs a nebulizer. I can't move babies. Because I don't mix babies.

I was going to hold off because I've asked for a lot from you all this week. And I may need to ask for more, if the eyes need to come out.

But I need two things. I need a medical incubator. One just for these medical emergencies. I just priced it out. I'm looking at 1275. Because I'll need raisers. If every follower gave one dollar. I could afford three of these.

This sweet/sassy thing needs a name. It's a girl.

The photos are in the comments.

To whoever dumped her, because she isn't feral. I truly hope things rot and fall off of you.

Massive Thank you

UPDATE:
Dr says his labs are good. No other issues or concerns besides his thyroid, so that is his only need at the present time, (that is now at 2.5 down from 11).
He has officially put on 4 ounces in the past couple of weeks, and we will work on continuing to get his weight up to a healthy amount for his age and frame. He is current on vaccinations, takes 2.5 mg of Methamazole two times a day, this could also be switched to the transdermal, but he is very good about taking his medication.
Prefers soft pate foods, and Fancy Feast kibble.
Perfect litterbox use. And a chatty guy, very much a conversationalist. 😸

I have an old man kitty staying with me named Kio. Est age is 17 yrs .
Unfortunately his person is no longer able to take care of him and family is not in a position to be able to keep him with them.
My hope is that someone has it in their heart to have a soft landing place for a very sweet old man, that takes his thyroid meds in much loved catnip flavor pill pockets, loves being brushed and head chin rubs. I think would also like a lap to sleep on or at least be beside someone on a couch or chair.
He will be going back in for a recheck of his meds next week, I hope to find out more then. I will put more pictures in the comments.
Feel free to contact me at 206-396-1467 if you are interested in giving this sweet old guy a soft landing.
If I had space I would keep him in a heartbeat.
