🐾 Honoring Dr. Elinor McGrath, America’s First Female Veterinarian!

As we celebrate National Women’s History Month, we recognize Dr. Elinor McGrath, a trailblazer in veterinary medicine. In 1910, she became the first practicing female veterinarian in the U.S., breaking barriers and redefining animal care! 🌟

💙 Dr. McGrath’s Impact:

🔹 Opened one of the first pet-focused veterinary clinics, proving that small animals deserved specialized care. 🐶🐱
🔹 Advocated for compassionate treatment of animals when veterinary medicine was focused on livestock.
🔹 Developed one of the first commercial pet food brands to improve pet nutrition.
🔹 Ran a small animal practice in Chicago, where she became known for her animal-friendly approach.
🔹 Established Chicago’s first pet cemetery, recognizing the everlasting bond between people and their pets.

Her dedication laid the foundation for modern small animal veterinary medicine, inspiring generations of women in the field. 🙌

Today, March 16th, 2025, is an incredible milestone in our journey. Today marks 25 years of lifesaving impact at Heaven Can Wait Animal Society! 💙

From our very first spay & neuter clinic to reaching 200,000+ surgeries, we’ve worked tirelessly to prevent unnecessary euthanasia, reduce shelter overcrowding, and give community cats and pets a healthier future.

Each milestone we’ve hit is because of YOU, our supporters, volunteers, and advocates. Your dedication fuels this mission, and together, we’ve made history. 🙌

This year, we’re celebrating by sharing the stories and throwbacks that define our journey. Stay tuned for an inspiring look back, heartwarming stories, partnerships, and impact!

This gorgeous little (feral) lady came into our Community Cat Clinic for a spay, but her trapper noticed something wasn’t right with her tail. Once we shaved it down, we found the heartbreaking cause… a hair tie wound tightly around it. 😔 Unfortunately, her tail couldn’t be saved.

Thanks to donations to our Community Cat Action Fund, we were able to fund her tail amputation, spay, and vaccines. She’ll now be carefully monitored by our amazing friends at Community Cat Coalition of Clark County as she heals. 🐱

Huge gratitude to the trappers, donors, and nonprofit partners who make second chances like this possible! ❤️ Heal fast pretty lady!

We keep getting better and better, thanks to Maddie! 🐾 Our clinic now has a new ultrasound machine to support our mission of providing high-quality care to the animals we serve through our spay/neuter and community cat programs. They even helped provide a training session for our team to learn all the ins and outs of this wonderful machine!

This tool enhances our ability to assess the health of our community’s animals that come into our care, helping us make informed decisions to ensure their well-being and supporting our efforts to reduce overpopulation

Thanks, Maddie's Fund! 💙

Together, we’ve reached a crazy milestone: ✨200,000 spays and neuters performed!✨

That’s 200,000 lives changed, countless litters prevented, and a huge step toward ending pet overpopulation and community cat suffering. 🐶🐱

We couldn’t have done this without you... Our donors, our partners, and our amazing community. 💙 Your support makes this lifesaving work possible, and there’s no way we’re stopping now.

Here’s to the next 200,000! 🥂🎉

🐱 Happy National Pet Vaccination Month! 🐶

Vaccines are a simple but powerful way to keep pets healthy, protecting them from serious illnesses like parvo, distemper, rabies, and more. We’re 💯% committed to making sure every pet gets the care they need because NO pet should suffer from a preventable disease. 🙌

Petco Love is also dedicated to pet health and has provided millions of vaccines across the country. 💜 Thanks to our partnership, we’re able to provide free 3-in-1 (cats) and 5-in-1 (dogs) vaccines to pets of families on SNAP/Medicaid. Thank you, Petco Love, for helping protect pets one vaccine at a time! 🐾

What’s better than a conference full of learning? A conference full of learning AND puppy cuddles! 🐶🥰

A huge thank you to Viticus Group for sponsoring 13 members of our veterinary team so they could attend the Western Veterinary Conference! This amazing experience helps keep our veterinarians, technicians, and assistants up to date on the latest in veterinary medicine so we can provide the best care for pets and community cats.

Just a few of the courses our team took included:

🐱 Decoding Feline Fury: Understanding and Managing Cat Aggression

💉 Complicated Patients: Anesthesia & Analgesia Protocol for Patients with Specific Diseases

💦 Fluid Therapy: Understanding Types and Uses

❤️ CPR Guidelines for Basic Life Support

Continuing education is key for our work, and we are so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you, Viticus Group, for supporting our team and the animals we serve! 💙

See all those racks holding our community cats? With so many kitties coming and going, and constant rolling from the pre-med room and back, these racks take a beating. Sometimes we roll them until the wheels almost fall off! 😅

Luckily, our good friend Keith Williams stepped in to help! Keith generously volunteered his time, tools, and talent to repair a bunch of broken, unused racks, making sure they’re safe and sturdy for our feline patients once again. 👍 Now we won't have to spend funding on this equipment!

Keith, we can’t thank you enough! Not just for what you do for our community cats, but for all your support of Heaven Can Wait. We’re so lucky to have you helping out the team and the organization! ❤️

Not only does PALNV run a beautiful, cozy cat café (if you haven’t visited yet, you should!), but they have also helped find loving homes for so many friendly community cats and kittens who first came through our clinic for spay and neuter services. 🐱

This generous gift will go directly toward helping even more community cats receive the care they need. Thank you, PALNV, for your unwavering support and dedication to saving lives! 🙌

Wow! The Las Vegas Academy of the Arts came by the other day to drop off a generous donation supporting our Spay It Forward campaign! 🙌

Today we’re honoring Dr. Rosalie A. Reed for Black History Month! 💙 She is a pioneer in veterinary medicine who shattered barriers in the field of exotic animal care. Fun fact: She kept a deadly tarantula in a tank on her desk to conquer her fear! 🕷

Born in 1945 in Mount Vernon, NY, Reed had a natural gift for nurturing animals from a young age. Reed’s mother never knew her daughter to not be caring for an injured animal. ❤️‍🩹 She pursued her passion at Tuskegee University, where she balanced multiple jobs, was a member of the rifle club, and ultimately earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1972. 🩺

Just a year later, she made history by becoming the first woman veterinarian at the Los Angeles Zoo and the first black veterinarian at a major U.S. zoo. Tasked with caring for over 2,600 animals, she performed surgeries, managed diets, and even helped rehabilitate a California condor. 🙌

Dr. Reed’s groundbreaking achievements paved the way for future generations of veterinarians, proving that passion and perseverance can change the world. 🌍 Happy Black History Month! 🎉

When this little feral guy was trapped for neutering, it was clear he had another issue. 🙀 His tail had been degloved - a serious and painful injury that can lead to deadly infections. Thankfully, he was brought to our Community Cat Clinic just in time! After a thorough exam, our vets determined that a tail amputation was the best course of action. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society, he got the help he needed. 💙 The surgery went perfectly, and we expect him to make a quick recovery! #heavencanwaitlv #spayneuter #tnr #communitycat #tnrsaveslives #lasvegasvalleyhumanesociety #lvvhs

Overpopulation is overwhelming, but teamwork helps! 💙 We’re proud to team up with Nye County Animal Control to help tackle community cat overpopulation there. 🐱 With help from the cat-loving community, 27 cats were trapped and transported to our clinic, where we provided spay, neuter, vaccines, and treatment for illness or injury. This is what teamwork looks like: working together for the good of cats and the neighborhoods they call home. 🐾✨ #heavencanwaitlv #communitycats #teamwork #nyecounty #tnrworks #lasvegascats #locallasvegas #nonprofit

Sal needs your help! Share his strut! 🐱 Sal came to us as a community cat for a neuter, but we knew he would not do well outside. He must’ve been someone’s kitty at some point.

Sal is five years young, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and a fancy, chill boy who just wants to explore and keep you company.

🐾 Prince’s Makeover! 🐾 Meet Prince, the dapper community cat who just got a much-needed spa day! 💇‍♂️ This long-haired cutie was brought in by the amazing Kim Lovelady Henry for an exam and a fresh shave. While Prince is already neutered, fluffy cats like him can sometimes get a little tangled up, so it was time for a little extra TLC. ✨ Out of the 15 cats that Kim, Joyce, and their awesome coworkers care for outside of Las Vegas Paving Corp., Prince is the only one who will brave the indoors to enjoy some AC and indulge in tasty treats. 😎 But don’t get any ideas—he’s still not a fan of cuddles. 😂 We’re so grateful for businesses and individuals like Kim and the Las Vegas Paving team, who are true LIFESAVERS for our community cats. Your dedication to TNR and caring for these furry friends makes all the difference! 🙌 #heavencanwaitlv #lasvegaspavingcorp #communitycats #princesscat #spayneuter #tnrsaveslives #lasvegasnonprofit 🐱❤️
