This is the toughest part of what we do as pet sitters...

I've been caring for these three pups since 2010, when they were youngens. Pippi (the middle "kid") passed away March 29, 2022...Peanut, the oldest, left us just this past month on June 9th... and George, the youngest at 15, joined his brother & sister this morning. My heart is broken, and my heart goes out to their mommy Maria, who is dogless for the first time in her life. 💔 Maria was such a wonderful mommy to them; they were all so blessed to have each other. ❤️❤️❤️

Public Service Announcement

This is a photo of a fox found dead last week. There were no signs of any injuries, so an autopsy was done only to discover a balloon in his digestive system.

I know you miss your loved ones, but releasing balloons into the sky does nothing but kill innocent wildlife.

Please STOP this practice.

***Hi group! I have a client that lives in assisted living and he recently fell and hurt himself. I’m in touch with his daughters and they don’t think he will make it out of the hospital. His personal nurse has his dog, but his daughter wanted me to ask if anyone is willing to temp to permanently fostering/keeping her with all expenses paid for the rest of her life. My team or myself, we can’t take her so I wanted to ask some professionals next! She’s a little 12 yr old Bichon Frise. She doesn’t do well with male dogs or bigger dogs. She’s a sweet little nugget.***

***Copied from another cat lover, and volunteer*** (Please read this in its entirety.)

Kitten season. Aren't they just so adorable? They're so fun to watch and play with and snuggle.

HERE'S THE PART WHERE I SAY NO!!
19 kittens under 4 weeks of age came into our clinic yesterday.
Kitten season is hard, painful, and exhausting. For all you people who let your unaltered cats outside to get pregnant, DAMN YOU! You don't have a clue! Those moms come in to our clinic with their little bundles of joy only to bring/share diseases because you didn't bother to vaccinate or get them spayed. Those of you who put your male cats out unaltered are just as guilty.

None of you have to watch the heartache the rest of us have to deal with when they get sick and die. The nights we spend feeding the tiniest little babies whose moms disappeared, or got hit by cars, or whatever disaster befalls them, because you couldn't be bothered to take care of your pet. It's still very early in the season, and I've had 5 kittens die unnecessarily.

For those of you who want your cat to have kittens, I DARE you, I beg you, to come see the dozens of kittens, in any shelter, at this time of year, who will either die from disease, be euthanized at high kill shelters, or be sold/"adopted" for pit bull bait. (I do not blame the pit bulls. I blame the people who do this.)

And, for those of you who want your cat to have kittens, and you give the the kittens away without having them altered first, damn you too! Those little kittens will become adults and you have no way of knowing, nor do I think you care, if the people you give those kittens to will bother to have that cat spayed/neutered.

Many years ago, before I got involved with Forgotten Cats, I was naive about feral cats and just how many there are. Forgotten Cats spays and neuters literally THOUSANDS of cats every year. Don't believe me, go to their website. I can personally attest to the truth of the statistics stated there. The first time I saw one of their spay/neuter clinics, I naively asked, "Aren't you worried cats will go extinct if you keep doing this"? They laughed at me. Now I know why. I've been with them for over 5 years and the number of cats found on the streets doesn't end.

It's not the fault of the cats. It's irresponsible pet owners/breeders. For those of you who think your cat needs to have a litter of kittens to feel "complete", that's bs. The cats forced to live outside not only have to deal with danger from humans, cars, disease and other predators, they have to look for food. And when they have kittens to feed, life gets that much harder.

Kitten season isn't just about saving cats and kittens. It's about scrambling to find fosters to help take care of them all. We volunteers, yes, VOLUNTEERS, spend hours upon hours on the phone searching for fosters, and in our cars racing to rescue and transport cats & kittens to places far and wide. We weep for the ones we can't save, and rejoice for the ones we can save, and who find loving, safe, forever homes.

This is a labor of love. We love them all from the sweetest, tiniest little kitten to the largest, nastiest feral. I just wish, one day, that a spring time would come and we didn't have to do this...that there weren't any cats scrambling to survive, no kittens born in gutters, no more heartache from watching them suffer and die.

PLEASE spay/neuter/vaccinate your cats.

Yes, I realize hummingbirds are not pets, however, love all creatures great and small.❤️

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
(on Behalf of Hummingbirds)
This hummingbird is unable to retract her tongue due to fungal spores that have germinated on her tongue or in her gullet caused by folks mixing honey or anything other than plain white sugar with water. She will die because she can no longer feed.
If you have feeders, PLEASE USE ONLY PLAIN WHITE SUGAR in your mixture of 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. No organic or raw or brown sugar, no powdered sugar, no honey, no artificial sugar. Use plain white sugar/water mixture which is most similar to actual flower nectar. And no toxic red color liquids such as koolaid etc.!!
Change the sugar water mixture every couple of days, especially during high temperatures, as it will start to ferment if it sits out for days on end.
If you can't or won't do this, please do not put out a feeder at all.

Warning: Graphic photos. I sincerely hope that something is done to remedy this horrific situation at The Animal Foundation.

LAS VEGAS - Since Covid struck, everyone in the animal community has become aware of the lack of services offered by The Animal Foundation, from refusing strays, closing the adoption kennels, discontinuing vaccine clinics, and basically shutting down the shelter to public access for almost a year.

Starting in spring of this year, another more serious problem developed. The Animal Foundation experienced grave staffing issues in all of their departments, including losing 7 of their 8 veterinarians, 60% of their animal care specialists and half of their executive level management team. Here's part of the reason why: In April, TAF's new COO terminated their lead veterinarian and essentially left 100 plus employees shocked that a respected leader and advocate was fired. The veterinarian, who was well liked, and had spent the last 3.5 years recruiting, developing, and leading the medical team and support staff across all departments. People started to quit including six of their veterinarians. TAF continued to lose more staff members all throughout the summer and up to the present day.

This lack of staff profoundly overburdened the remaining employees, creating a dangerous situation for animals, and a psychological torture for the workers who remained there. In my mind it is clear that this has brought unnecessary death and suffering to the animals that have ended up there. I have heard stories of animals not being fed regularly, kennels uncleaned, animals waiting 24 hours just to be processed, people being told at 11am that they are too busy to adopt any more animals, phone calls that are, as a practice, never answered, a kitten accidentally being thrown in the trash and over 2,000 animals leaving the shelter without being fixed.

The dog in the photo on the left died of heat stroke this Summer after being mistakenly locked out of the air conditioned area of his kennel. He died trying to fight his way back through the metal plate that was keeping him in the sun. Another dog died the same way just days later. (I wish I did not have to share such graphic photos, but the public needs to know what is happening).

This was a tragic human error that no one intended to happen, but the real responsibility lies with the executives of The Animal Foundation and their complete mismanagement of employees and resources. The real issue is that TAF's executives have fostered a toxic culture where people are over-worked, under-paid and their ideas to make things better are not welcome. A company cannot retain employees in that kind of environment.

I also feel the need to set the record straight on rumors that have been going around about TAF blaming another organization for stealing their veterinarians. This is completely not true. The loss of TAF's entire vet services staff was a such a colossal mistake that they did not want to own up to, so they tried to say another rescue stole their vets. I personally spoke to the lead vet who told me TAF fired him, and to the recently resigned COO of TAF, who confirmed he terminated this vet. TAF is 100% responsible for the loss of their vet staff and all of the other employees who have quit. The terminated vet did end up being hired by the other org, along with two more former TAF veterinarians, however, this would have never occurred if the beloved vet had not been terminated. All other former veterinarians secured jobs elsewhere.

To make matters worse, I learned last week that the ONE remaining vet at TAF gave her 30 day notice and will be gone by the end of November. To put this in perspective, TAF has had only one full-time vet, for the last six months, to care for 600-900 animals on a daily basis, and now, even she will be gone very soon.

What we are experiencing right now as a community is the almost complete breakdown of animal services. If it wasn't for the rescues and ordinary citizens in our community stepping up it would be a lot worse.

So where do we go from here? How do we fix this problem? I do not feel a practical solution is getting rid of TAF, we have tried that before and the circumstances that prohibited it last time still remain.

The main problem right now is staffing, so we need more good people like you who are willing to work there. But before we do that we need to get new management in place, otherwise the turnover problem is just going to continue. The good news is that most of the management has already left. Carly Scholten the longtime former COO left this year, Christine Robinson will be resigning at the end of this year. Their fundraising director quit last month and as I mentioned, their most recent COO quit last week. If we can get the right people into management positions at TAF we can start to see real, immediate change.

Vegas is full of passionate, intelligent animal-loving souls, many of who have operated successful rescues for years. We need them running TAF.

Their new CEO will ultimately be chosen by their Board members who are probably unaware of how bad the situation is at TAF. We need to contact them to let them know what is happening and offer them a solution. Perhaps you know of someone who would be a good fit for the position. Let them know the community will help them turn the shelter around if they choose a leader from amongst the animal community.

As we know, in order to get their attention, we also need to reach out to the local media. Below you will find their contact info. Write to them and tell them your story, about your experience, or share some of the info I have given you. Let them know we need a local leader from our rescue community to run the shelter.

Although the situation at TAF is dark, I hope we can use this opportunity to try to finally change things for the better for our pets and our community.
