Our new catio gets the paw of approval from one of our vocal and super loving guests. What a sweetheart!

07/05/2024

Good morning! Happy 4th of July weekend everyone!
We wanted to shout out to Forest Bay Creations for custom constructing this awesome CATIO for our Feline Inn.
It added a great outdoor space to our already great indoor space. Our feline guests approve!
Thank you.
(The cats have a private, safe and secure yard. We put privacy screen up so that the dogs can’t see the cats. It’s a safe and secure place for them to get outside for sun and outdoor time.)

REMEMBER, WE OFFER CAT BOARDING FOR YOUR FELINE FRIEND WHILE YOU ARE AWAY. 🐈🐈‍⬛😻

The Lie said to the Truth, "Let's take a bath together, the well water is very nice.
The Truth, still suspicious, tested the water and found out it really was nice. So they got naked and bathed.
But suddenly, the Lie leapt out of the water and fled, wearing the clothes of the Truth.
The Truth, furious, climbed out of the well to get her clothes back.
But the World, upon seeing the naked Truth, looked away, with anger and contempt.
Poor Truth returned to the well and disappeared forever, hiding her shame.
Since then, the Lie runs around the world, dressed as the Truth, and society is very happy..... because the world has no desire to know the naked Truth.

Another horrific tragedy has struck our little community in Searsmont (and way beyond) and it’s time to take care of the ones she left behind.

If you’re local, you know what has happened.. if not, Amy was a victim of domestic violence.

Please come to the UNITED FARMERS MARKET in Belfast this SATURDAY DEC. 2 from 9-2 and purchase cupcakes at the CupKate’s booth. EVERY SINGLE CENT WILL GO TO HER TWO CHILDREN.

This weekend won’t be about fancy cookies or Christmas gingerbread.. it’ll be about our love and care for Amy and her family left behind.

Six pack cupcakes are $9 and dozens are $16. If you feel inclined to give more, this too will go to her children.

In 2021, we felt called to help for another local tragedy and now, we are again. Please share, share, share.. and thank you in advance. ❤️

In Hawaiian you don’t call yourself a pets “owner”. You are their “Kahu”.
Kahu has many meanings. Among them, guardian, protector, steward, and beloved attendant. Basically someone entrusted with the safe keeping of something precious. What a Kahu protects is not their property. What they protect is a part of their soul.

It has been brought to our attention that there is evidence of kennel cough in our area. We have NOT seen it at our facilities, and we DON’T WANT IT! So keep your dog home if you suspect they may be sick! Please don’t share the virus with others.
If your dog becomes listless, lethargic, stops eating, has trouble breathing, develops excessive green nasal discharge or a productive cough, see your veterinarian immediately. Finally, if you suspect your dog has kennel cough, isolate them from other dogs to avoid spreading it.
Common clinical signs include a loud cough, often described as a 'goose honk', runny eyes and nose, swollen tonsils, wheezing, lack of appetite, and depressed behavior. Most dogs with infectious kennel cough will cough when the throat is rubbed or palpated or during and after exercise.
We take EVERY precaution possible including but not limited to using virus killing cleaners. Please help us protect our clients pets by being responsible for your own.
Many thanks and happy and healthy trails!
