Meows & Mutts Rescue

10/23/2024

We want to congratulate Codi who runs Feathers & Fangs Exotic Animal Rescue for winning the Ansel Mullins Award from the Alabama Enviromental Health Association. This award is given to someone for demonstrating an attitude of public service, initiative in meeting local public needs, conscientious completion of duties, self motivation, and cooperation with agencies, business, and citizens. We have worked with Codi for a while now and I can say there is no one more deserving this award than her. Congratulations Codi and thank you for all that you do for your community. The world is a better place with you in it. ❤️❤️

Just wanted to share this post. Humane Society of Valdosta Lowndes County was one of our stops when we dropped off your generous donations for hurricane Helene victims. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped this happen. And a special thanks to B&B Pet Stop for helping us so much with this fundraiser.

A huge thank you to Dr. Nielsen for meeting us today. She checked out our healthy babies for health certificates and then helped us with a couple who needed some medical attention ASAP. Please meet the very handsome Cross Fit (a.k.a. CF), who was rescued by Bazzle. And the the tiny kitten Ginger, who has some major eye issues. Prayers for sweet Ginger are appreciated.

Mission Accomplished!!! We were so blessed to be able to help the people of Valdosta and the surrounding areas, thanks to the lovely and kind people at Park Avenue Seventh-day Adventist Church, Valdosta GA and Humane Society of Valdosta Lowndes County, who were so grateful to all of you for your generosity. We were able to fill the store room for both and they will see to it that all of your donations end up in the right hands. Our friends in Valdosta are still cleaning up from Hurricane Helene and a good portion of them remain without electricity 10 days later. Trees and power lines are down everywhere, and still they are doing their best to help the people that are hurting in other parts of the country. Bryan and Tammie with the Park Avenue Seventh day Adventist Church are looking south to see what they can do to help those who are in the path of Hurricane Milton. Julie with the Humane Society is working with other rescues to clear out space in their facility so they can take in animals from North Carolina. It is a beautiful thing when people work together to help others in need. Thank you again for making this possible and be sure to continue to donate as we will be making more trips and to areas that desperately need all of our help.

Good Morning Gulf Coast!!! It’s a beautiful morning for a drive. We will keep everyone updated on our trip. Have a lovely Sunday!!!!

10/06/2024

WOW!!!! What an incredible day we had!!! Thank you to Sally and B&B Pet Stop for welcoming our van to their parking lot and helping to fill it with dog and cat food, treats, and toys. Thank you also to Amanda Richardson Bacon at The Garage Studio for the huge suv load of supplies. We also have to thank the kind-hearted people in Mobile, AL who are always so generous when it comes to a great cause they believe in. We had many people showing up all day with trunk loads of food, cleaning supplies, diapers, and other much needed products to FILL THE VAN!! Thank you also to everyone who donated money. Over $2000 has been collected so far and we still have several places that are still collecting items for us. After a quick trip to Costco, we are excited and ready to deliver the first van load of supplies to Humane Society of Valdosta Lowndes County and Valdosta Park Avenue Seven Day Adventist Church tomorrow. We are still collecting donations and plan to make more trips to help those that in need. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

UPDATE!!!!
We will be leaving Sunday and traveling to our first stop in Valdosta, GA this Sunday. Their town was devastated when Helene came on shore as a Cat 4 hurricane. We will be delivering to Valdosta Park Avenue Seventh-day Adventist Church. They have graciously agreed to distribute donations to those most in need. We are also reaching out to the Humane Society of Valdosta Lowndes County to hopefully bring donations there. It has been quite difficult to contact organizations in these zones as you can imagine they are very busy. We are currently trying to find a meeting place farther north in TN and NC, however we have been advised that the roads are still closed and rescue operation are ongoing. We will continue to reach out up there to find a safe place and time to deliver additional donations to them. Thank you to everyone who is donating, you are amazing!!!

Please scroll down for a list of businesses that will be collecting donations in your area!!!!

PAWS For HUMANITY!!!!

"A life not lived for others is not a life." Mother Teresa

We on the Gulf Coast are all too aware of the devastating affects a hurricane can have on your life. We have all either been though a big one or know someone who has been wrecked by a bad storm. Right now as we speak, there are thousands of people and pets throughout Florida, northwest Georgia, South Carolina and especially western North Carolina that are suffering. Fellow humans beings that desperately need help. They have no power, no water, on food and no shelter. Meows and Mutts Rescue would like to ask you to help us help them. We want to FILL THE VAN with loads of supplies to help ease the suffering that they are enduring. So we are asking for donations for both our furry friends and their humans. Below is a list of necessary items that are desperately needed right now. We will be working with organizations that will distribute the donations to those in need. If you would like to help, please let us know and we will arrange drop off or pick up for you. We will be asking some local businesses to accept items as drop off points as well. If you own a business and would like to help please let us know.

Paws on Pinehill LLC is always there to help us with dogs that come into our care. A huge thank you for all you have done for us and the rescue community!! They don’t just make room for us, they send home beautifully groomed animals. Looking for a groomer??? I found the perfect one for you.

I just wanted to say how proud I am of the girls this week and wanted to thank our customers who have stuck by us all these years. You are supporting mothers in this days society that are working on close to just one income in the household. We also wanted to thank you for understanding when one of our children are sick and we have to call in to spend a sick day to be beside them. I wanted to say thank you for sticking by us with this roadwork that the water company will be doing on our street for a while causing a road closure at our intersection on Pinehill. Below I will post a small map I printed out so you know you can just take the road beside us.

As a community we need to stick close and support local now more then ever as these hard times are getting harder. Again thank you so much!

There are angels that walk amongst us and everyday. They never speak of their own generous nature, they just donate much need supplies or money without drawing attention to themselves. These angels understand that it is not about them but about how it benefits the animals to whom they donate. Today I came home to this on my doorstep. Thank you to the kind person who donated these to us and also to all of our donors who make running this rescue a bit easier for Meows and Mutts.

Please share so we can continue to help animals in need:

Clark Kent faces a challenging situation with a broken rear leg and an injured front leg. The rear leg fracture is open, exposing the bone, while the extent of the front leg injury remains uncertain, affecting its functionality. To identify any additional breaks, X-rays will be taken under sedation. Despite his struggles, Clark Kent remains a charming, fluffy, and resolute kitten, in need of immediate amputation to prevent sepsis. The estimated cost for his medical care is approximately $1000, covering a combination test, X-rays, surgery, pain medication, and antibiotics. Please donate to help us save his life! You may donate through this post if you’re more comfortable, however it does take longer for us to get donations from a Facebook fundraiser. Donations can also be called in to Ark Animal Clinic at 251-342-2956 or sent via Venmo to Deanna-Anlage. Please share and donate to help save this special little guy!

Today was a good day!!! Thirty-five crates of cats and kittens ( 90 in all ), got their freedom ride to Maryland in our beautiful new van. They are one step closer to finding their forever homes. We would like to thank all of the rescues and shelters that continue to work so hard to get these transports done. We could not do this alone. Mobile Cat Society, The Pretty Pittie Committee, Mobile County Animal Shelter, Monroe County Alabama Animal Shelter, Greenville Shelter, City of Mobile Animal Shelter, Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary and also to the wonderful public who chooses to step in and save animals in need. When we work together great things happen.

We will be going back next month so please consider donating to help us continue save these babies.

WE GOT A VAN EVERYONE!!!
💜💚🚐💚💜

Two years ago this month, Kristy and I started Meows and Mutts and set out on a crazy rescue journey. We had lots of experience between us but not much else. With $35 in our our bank account, we worked our butts off to grow our little rescue into what it is today. We had so many ups and a few downs but two years on we hit a milestone!!!
❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️
We are so excited and feel so blessed to have finally bought our new transport van this week. Thank you to Todd's Auto Body for being so patient with us and holding on to this beautiful van until we could make the trip to Daytona Beach, FL to pick it up. Todd and Shelly are incredibly nice people and also love their rescue animals. We thank you so much!!!
❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️
We also want to thank everyone that helped us raise the money to buy our van. When we decided to make buying a van a priority this year we had so much support and contributions. Thank you to Barbara Burckhart, Susan Sklenar , Kristi Amick Monson , and Christina Stratis Hunt and her fabulous family for your continued support we could not have done this without you. Also thank you to everyone who supported us for the past 9 months while we search for the perfect van that checked all the boxes. Everyone who donated made it possible for us to realize our dream of owning a van!!!! We cannot thank you enough. We now will continue our quest to save the lives of thousands of animals every year all along the gulf coast.
