Stunning little Black Panther face 🖤. He's full of love and just wants to be cuddled.

He also just got in trouble (for 3 seconds) for figuring out how to get all the Q Tips out of the holder and drag a few onto the living room floor. And he's already plotting his next moves 😳 😆.

It's messages like this that I receive from my clients that break my heart 💔. I have been cat sitting for them for nearly 10 years. You go through stuff with people and their pets after that long. Watching them go from vibrant to older and sicker, giving them meds eventually, to this.

My neighbor and I spoke on the phone for a while, I cried with her but tried not to get too emotional. I tried to provide as much comfort as I can as I know she has never been through this before; it’s her first pet.

She was convinced that at home euthanasia will be the best option for her so I put together some information for the place I used for Zelig and walked her thought the process so she knows what to expect.

I guess it will only be a matter of days now. I know this couple is going to be just devastated, but I shared with them that they are doing the ultimate act of love and it's the right thing to do.
I am glad I can be a source of comfort and support during these difficult times and I am glad they come to me to share.

Well Tuff Tails Animal Rescue just did a little feature on my baby Jett (then Tommy). Look how adorable he was as a wee baby!

Just a little recap on the life of Tommy now Jett on this frigid NY winter day. Back in September he was a baby. Out there with his sister Gina and no mom in sight. Sooo we trap, we rescue, we find his perfect forever. Same for Gina of course. But Jett requested we post him to show how it all started. Stay warm friends!! xo 🖤❤️ 🖤❤️

I have been cat sitting for sweet LT for around 9 years now, but she's an old girl in her upper teens . And watching her grow old is sweet and tender! I always thought there is something so beautiful about a cat or any animal as they grow old.

🐾The beauty of a very old cat lies in their serene demeanor, the wisdom reflected in their eyes, their quiet companionship, and the deep bond they often form with their human family, showcasing a lifetime of love and loyalty, even as their physical abilities may decline with age; it's a beauty that comes from a life well-lived and a deep appreciation for the simple moments of affection and comfort they offer.❤️

Despite physical limitations, older cats often demonstrate a quiet strength and dignity as they navigate their later years.

An older cat may find joy in small things like a sunbeam to nap in or a gentle stroke from their human. 💞

I fell in love with Buffington the first time I cat sat for him. I'm glad to be caring for him again. He's so sweet and distinguished.

HAPPY 3 YEAR ADOPTAVERSARY SWEET, TENDER AND PRECIOUS SHAYNA ❤. I couldn't imagine what a sweet, nurturing soul she would be.

She only spent one week in my house as a foster before I decided to adopt her on Christmas Eve. Saved from a hoarding type situation, living in a filthy cage where she had kittens at a **very** young age. Probably without much human contact or love and care. The kittens were placed and Tuff Tails Animal Rescue took Maya (her name at the time).

As always, thank you Tuff Tails Animal Rescue, Linda Joy and Paulette Siegel for endlessly rescuing, trapping, fostering, transporting, supporting. And for all you do to save these beautiful creatures time after time. Without angels on earth like you these animals are destined to remain in neglectful, abusive situations. Or, having to endure a harsh, cruel and mean life on the streets.

My sweet beautiful Maggie who I lost to cancer when she was 13. When she got sick and was on medications her appetite was very poor. She wouldn't eat her regular food and I had to go through so many different kinds until I found one she liked. I finally got her to eat if I fed her with a spoon. It became our ritual. She would hop up on her litter box and I would feed her. It remained like that for 6 months until the end. We were in Covid lockdown at the time so I got spend all my moments caring for her. So special to have these videos ❤

Zia needs a great Xmas Gift of finding her forever family. She had a couple of meet n greets with some great fams but the match just wasn’t in the cards 😓 Not anyone’s fault just to be clear. Zia is great with other dogs and people. She’s seriously a great pooch who will make your home complete. She’s about 3-1/2 years old, spayed and housebroken. She’s located in Queens NY and we’re looking to stay in the NYC/Long Island areas so we can help if some training is needed 🙂 Please email [email protected] for more scoopage! 🖤❤️

I will never forget this experience and how stressful it was!

Honestly, I was just doing my job. I would never leave an animal in distress regardless if I was caring for the pet or finding the pet in the street. But I am truly humbled, and was more than happy to help!

Happy Thanksgiving! Giving thanks to all the rescues who work tirelessly to save the fur babies in what seems like a never-ending battle. Thank you to all the foster parents who do so much to help the cycle, to the shelters, to all the adopters, to the pet sitters who ensure all the pets are loved, fed and safe while their parents are away, and to thank you to all involved in the betterment of the animal kingdom. And, also thank you to all the animals on this earth for making the world such a better place. I wish humans could do better for you; you all deserve it.
