Easter and Mother's Day are two of the most dangerous holidays for cats for one reason: lily poisoning. 💐

As a part of our No Lilies for Kitties educational campaign, we're kicking off the series by sharing which species of lilies are toxic to cats. True lilies (Lilium species) and daylilies (Hemerocallis species) are extremely toxic to cats and can potentially cause severe kidney failure. Check out the graphic below for examples, and visit the link below to learn more:

Today we're going back to the basics and sharing steps to take if you think your pet has been poisoned.

Remember to stay calm, take a deep breath, and reach out to a trusted source like Pet Poison Helpline or your veterinarian immediately. We're here to provide guidance and peace of mind in your pet's time of need.

Did you know⁉️

If you’re missing a pet you can look online at 24petconnect.com to see if there’s a pet with a matching description! This is just another tool to reunite pets and their owners, but it isn’t fool proof and it’s always best to come in person to the shelter to look 👀 ‼️

⭐️ All the pets on the lost tab are not available and the shelter won’t be able to take calls about trying to adopt them. If you think your pet is on the website PLEASE come to 5843 Jefferson Ave with proof of ownership and reunite with your pet ASAP‼️

⭐️ Please use the “adopt” tab, “change filters,” and select Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter to view available adoptable animals. Please note other shelters use this website and their adoptable animals will show if you don’t specify a shelter‼️

Mr. Teddy wants you to know, Flea and Tick prevention is important to keep up with year round. There is a wide range of flea and tick prevention. Topical and Oral chewables. Ask us about different products you can use on your pet. Fleas and ticks are very hardy, It can take 5 days of below freezing temperatures to kill an adult flea. Fleas and ticks carry diseases. They can lay dormant in your house, in carpet and on furniture. Once you see 1 flea, there are hundreds of eggs and pupae you don't see. Some pets are allergic to flea saliva, so when they are bitten they become very itchy and can cause a secondary skin infection by scratching so much. If you have any questions, please call us 757-877-6464
