This February is for the cats, and more specifically it’s for their health, so we call it National Cat Health Month. Every cat parent should spend the month with extra focus on their cat’s physical and emotional well-being, and educate themselves on signs of unhealthy behavior or illness. We love National Cat Health Month because it reminds us to give extra love to our sweet kitties and serves as a great way to celebrate our furry friends beyond just posting cat memes!

We have some another pet from one of our shelter partners, Humane Animal Partners, looking for her forever home. Take a few minutes to read about her, consider if you have room in your home, and definitely share the post to get her more visibility!

Maeve - Available at HAP Wilmington - https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/DEL-A-33924
Maeve is a 1-year-old terrier mix that loves life! She came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Louisiana when they no longer had space for her. Maeve spent nearly 2 weeks in foster with a local trainer, so we could get more information on her in a home environment. She absolutely LOVES to play and will happily toss around any toy you give her. After some exercise, training, or playtime, she is ready to curl up next to you for some cuddles! Maeve is both treat and toy-motivated, making her a fast learner and eager to please. She knows basic commands, walks well with a harness, and is already crate-trained. Maeve LOVES other dogs and would thrive with a doggy sibling to play with. However, she would need a home without cats.

Smokey & Bandit (bonded sisters) - Available at HAP Stanton/Christiana
Bandit - https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/DEL-A-31314
Smokey - https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/DEL-A-31315
Meet Smokey and Bandit, our 2-year-old sisters! These girls came to HAP from a hoarding case, so this has been a big change for them. Smokey is the more outgoing of the two, though she can be shy at first. She enjoys playing, so she can usually be won over by some toys! Bandit tends to be more of the observer, she likes to hang back on the sidelines while her sister takes the lead. After some time, they are both super sweet girls who love to hang out with their people friends! Smokey and Bandit both do well with other cats, but we recommend they go to a home with no dogs and no children, as they prefer a calmer environment!

Ghost - Available at HAP Stanton/Christiana - https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/DEL-A-151257

Ghost is a playful and energetic 2-year-old Husky/Malamute mix! Ghost came to HAP when his owner was incarcerated and could no longer care for him. In his previous home, he lived with a child and another dog. While most huskies tend to be stubborn with new people, that is not our boy Ghost! He loves to cuddle up with his people and will lay his head right on your lap! While he is not very treat-motivated, ear and belly scratches are a sure way to win this boy's heart. He loves to be outside where he can keep an eye on all the activity around the shelter. Ghost is a strong boy that loves to walk and is learning leash manners while walking. In typical Husky fashion, he likes to do things on his own time frame and likes graze on his food throughout the day. He is a very opinionated guy who has no problem letting you know when he would like some attention by ‘talking’ to you or ‘singing.’ Due to his vocal talent, he would likely do best in a single-family house or townhome!

Meet another pet looking for their forever home through one of our shelter partners, Humane Animal Partners, in Delaware! This lovey, mature lady has been with HAP for over a year. Elmira does have very early stage kidney disease, which can be common in aging pets. Although this is currently being managed with diet, this is often the reason she is overlooked. Luckily, our fantastic veterinarians can help manage her health, so if you think she could be a good addition to your home, don't let that deter you! Read more about Elmira here:

Elmira - Available at HAP Wilmington -
https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/DEL-A-28191
Elmira will steal your heart away with one meow! She is a 7-year-old mature beauty with a kitten heart. Elmira came to HAP when she was found as a stray, but it was clear this girl had lived in a home and socialized with people. She adores being pet, usually following you around waiting to be loved. Elmira is also a chatty girl and enjoys talking with humans, she even has the sweetest meow! In addition to her loving personality, Elmira is quite the laid-back lady, often enjoying a nice afternoon nap or some snacks. Elmira is fairly tolerant of being handled, held, and snuggled. She will use her big girl voice paired with a love tap to let you know if you've crossed her boundaries too far, though this is rare. She has so much life left in her, begging to find her forever home.

Our VCA Animal Hospitals are partnered with many shelters and rescues in the area. We hope to start regularly sharing some of the pets with those partners, who are looking for forever homes. Check out this really handsome bonded pair who are with Humane Animal Partners. One of our associates actually had the pleasure of meeting them and talked about how lovely they were. There's always a bit of getting to really know the pets who end up in shelters, but here is what HAP had to say so far:

Leroy and Lincoln are 6-year-old Catahoula mix brothers! They were born and raised on a farm, where they were trained to hunt together. Despite being at the shelter, these guys are just happy to meet new people! Leroy is a total sweetheart, while Lincoln is the more playful brother. They are very attached to one another, so we hope to find them a forever home together. Both pups are already house-trained, know basic commands, and walk well on a leash!

If interested, check out their info on the HAP site:

January 2nd is National Pet Travel Safety Day! ✈️

Whether you're hitting the road for a weekend getaway or planning a cross-country adventure, it's important to keep your furry friends safe while traveling. Here are a few tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey:

Secure Your Pet: Use a carrier for small pets and a safety harness for larger ones.
Pack Essentials: Don't forget food, water, medications, and any necessary paperwork.
Take Breaks: Frequent stops allow your pet to stretch their legs and relieve themselves.
Never Leave Them Alone in a Car: Even for a short time, the temperature inside a car can become dangerous.
Research Accommodations: Make sure your chosen destinations are pet-friendly.
With a little planning, you and your furry companion can have a wonderful adventure together. 🐾
