Did you know that if you have a pacemaker, you can include it in your Will to be donated to a dog in need after you pass away?
Although pacemakers cannot be used for another human, they can help dogs with heart problems and potentially save their lives. You can arrange for the pacemaker to be sent to a vet of your choice. Many pacemakers are simply thrown away, and dogs may die because people do not know about this option. Donating the pacemaker can even save the dog's owner the cost of a new one, which can sometimes make a crucial difference in affording life-saving treatment.
How to donate? Update your will: Leave instructions to have your pacemaker removed and sent to a veterinary clinic of your choice
Ask your doctor to save the pacemaker: When your pacemaker is being replaced or upgraded, ask your doctor to save it for donation
Contact your local vet: Confirm that they would be able to use the pacemaker.

BEFORE YOU GET OFFENDED when someone suggests you neuter your cat please read this.

1. When a cat becomes pregnant, it is not through choice. There is no romantic liaison.... it literally is the equivalent of sexual assault.
The male cat's p***s is barbed and causes excruciating pain for the female.

2. Every rescue is dependent on volunteers. Volunteers who lose family time, money, sleep, weekends and evenings caring for and fundraising to ensure unwanted cats get the correct care.

3.Animals have no voice... So when somebody speaks on their behalf, stop getting upset.

4.Uneutered Male cats will wander miles in search of females. They will fight ferociously and cause terrible injury to other males in the process causing sepsis. And dreadful life threatening diseases.

5. Every litter of kittens born in your home and sold adds to the problem by stopping a rescue cat being adopted.

6. Rescues are full to capacity with cats which have been bought on a whim of Facebook and surrendered or abandoned due to boredom or inability to afford vet bills, Neuter, Vaccines, Food, Flea and worm treatment

7. Each rescue has a waiting list. They spend literally thousands of dollars a year on Vet Treatment. Food, Litter. Flea and Worm Treatment, Electricity, Shelter Rent, Fuel... These are just the basics.

8. Behind the scenes volunteers nurse kittens every 2-4 hours, feed ferals everyday, clean litter boxes and field calls from people several times a day. All this while fundraising constantly. Worry about cats who have been surrendered and are traumatised by being torn from its surroundings and carry the guilt of the decisions they have to make.

9. Rescues have volunteers who drive for miles. Trapping stray and dumped cats, picking up unwanted cats and spending hours on the phone trying to find spaces and homes for unwanted pets.

10. Volunteers spend their free time and energy picking up the pieces from people who allow cats to have kittens and refuse to neuter.

Please don’t be offended when someone asks are you getting your cat neutered - rescues see the consequences of these actions every day 365 days a year and are simply giving a voice to the vulnerable creatures so casually given away or sold for a dollar.

To My Former Family: I say “former” family because I will never be coming back to you.

This morning, I was peeled off the frozen ground by a passer-by who happened to notice me frost-bitten, scared and literally frozen to the ground. I guess you forgot to bring me inside again last night when you knew temperatures were going to dip below minus 34 with the windchill.

Maybe you assumed I was invincible since I never got hit and killed by a car like my three brothers and sisters did over the past year.

It’s okay, you don’t need to worry about me anymore. I may be blind in both eyes now, but I know my forever family will take good care of me.

I don't ask for much, just a bit of food, water and a warm place to curl up. If I get that, I know I can't help but purr and melt into your warm hands.

So now as I wait for my forever home, please know that I don't blame you for what you did or didn't do for me...you probably didn't know that I was curled up waiting to die while you slept warm in your bed.

I have to go now, the lady who rescued me is shaking a bag of treats! I overhead her saying that she will never bring me back to you. Never ever. I guess she thinks I'm pretty special! Bye forever.

🥶⛑️🐾 What to Do If You Find a Hypothermic Cat (or other pet) 🐾⛑️🥶

If you find a cat that appears cold, lethargic, or unresponsive, it may be suffering from hypothermia, which can be life-threatening. Here’s how to help:

1️⃣ Bring the Cat to a Warm, Safe Place - Gently wrap the cat in warm, dry blankets or towels. Avoid sudden temperature changes—DO NOT place the cat near a direct heat source like a heater or hot water.

2️⃣ Check for Immediate Danger - Look for signs like cold ears, paws, or body, shivering, or labored breathing. If the cat is unconscious or unresponsive, seek emergency help immediately.

3️⃣ Warm the Cat GRADUALLY - Use warm (not hot) water bottles wrapped in cloth or a heating pad set to low to SLOWLY warm them up. Place them near the cat but never directly on its skin.

❗DO NOT wash or bathe the cat, DO NOT use direct heat sources or try and get the cat to eat or drink❗Contact a rescue group or veterinarian for immediate assistance - it could mean the difference between life and death.
‼️ If you need help, TEXT US (504.415.0137), we will assist you the best we can‼️
