Monthly heartworm prevention is very important!
And would’ve prevented this girl from losing her life
RIP sweet girl 🌈
Thank you to the rescuer that helped this sweet girl, your an angel 🙏

SHE DIED ON HER WAY TO RESCUE. WE ARE BROKEN. GRAPHIC PHOTO. Our friend Rachelle Godfrey reached out for help tonight with this girl. She was found by this guy who then reached out in desperation for help. We offered a vet visit and probable euthanasia but would have needed a foster. But there was no waiting and we just needed her to not be in pain. Rachelle then sent a message a bit later that this poor dog died once the guy put her in his car to bring to Rachelle so we could get her to the er vet. It is ridiculously unfair. She suffered. She died, from heartworms likely, we would bet the rescue on it. She will not be forgotten and will haunt Rachelle and Mama Rochelle and others. Guys, heartworms is a REAL FREAKING THING. Put your damn dog on prevention and if you don't this is the risk you take. SHARE THIS PHOTO AS IT IS OUR DAILY REALITY IN THE TRENCHES so it sticks with everyone who isn't giving their pets heartworm prevention. Do it for this sweet girl, she has been named Mary Anne and SHE MATTERED. Run free beautiful girl....

Educational memorial in her honor:

What is it? Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease in pets in the United States and many other parts of the world. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body.

Dogs: The dog is a natural host for heartworms, which means that heartworms that live inside the dog mature into adults, mate and produce offspring. If untreated, their numbers can increase, and dogs have been known to harbor several hundred worms in their bodies.

How it happens: When a mosquito bites and takes a blood meal from an infected animal, it picks up these baby worms, which develop and mature into “infective stage” larvae over a period of 10 to 14 days. Then, when the infected mosquito bites another dog, cat, or susceptible wild animal, the infective larvae are deposited onto the surface of the animal's skin and enter the new host through the mosquito’s bite wound. Once inside a new host, it takes approximately 6 months for the larvae to develop into sexually mature adult heartworms. Once mature, heartworms can live for 5 to 7 years in dogs.

Shurbert would like to remind folks to make sure unsheltered/outdoor pets have access to water 🧡

I feel stupid that I didn’t know this. I had no idea you can take the pump apart when cleaning. For anyone with a Miau fountain that doesn’t know. I’ve just been replacing it.
Our cats love theirs!

With continuous usage of the pump sometimes dirt, cat hair, food particles can get accumulated inside the pump and lower its efficiency.

Midnight is currently at Dale City Animal Hospital for a upper respiratory infection.
Midnight is fully vetted and will be available for adoption soon

Purrty Pawz Rescue has been extremely busy.
We are extremely over filled. Our fosters are over filled. We have neonatal babies. We have many sick kittens. We still have to do TNR & feed colonies. On top of that, relocate a colony of 50+ cats that we are on a deadline to complete.
Thank you to everyone that has liked, shared our post and donated. We truly appreciate all of you 🧡

How is this beautiful girl still looking for a home? 😻 Shiloh is a playful, loving young cat who is sure to bring joy to any household. She enjoys running around and playing with toys and people, but will do best as an only pet. She likes all the love and attention for herself.

**Donations have been made for this sweet girl, thank you!!!**
Penelope is settling into her foster home 🧡 she is very affectionate and needy. If she’s not being held she will cry until she’s picked up.

We do need to bring her to our vet to check out her mouth injury. We’ll need about $80 to get her seen. There are several ways to donate towards her care; please mention “Penelope”

This sweet girl was found on the street tonight, all by herself. She has what looks like road rash on her face…possibly a dumped pet that was thrown out of someone’s car. She’s resting safe and sound at our president’s house for now, but we may be looking for a foster in the near future. Name TBD 🧡
**we ARE NOT accepting adoption applications for her, she is not available for adoption at this time**

We see this happen at our colony sites.
We see what the males to do females in heat.
We see females get r***d.
We see one male jump off and the next right on.
It’s sad.
It’s sad hearing the female scream out or trying to run for her life
Spay your pet
Neuter your pet

Letting your unneutered female out, is subjecting her to this.
Taking refuge up a tree while 4 males wait to subject her to a horrible ordeal - she will try her hardest to get away - she will be chased and cornered until they manage to grab her - she will fight her attackers and suffer bites, cuts and bruises but won't win.
The noise of the attack will be ear splitting .... But yes, of course you love your cat.

She will then be pregnant, probably give birth in someone's garden or shed - not knowing when she will get food - some of the babies may die, but then so may your girl if she has a difficult birth (then any healthy babies will also starve to death).

But of course you love your unneutered girl, as you let her outside yet again !!

Please get your cats spayed / neutered!
