Folks.... If you have ANY Outdoor Cats and/or dogs, or for those who let them in and out all the time, PLEASE..... Bring them in Now for the Next Several Days. Starting Sunday 1/19/25 we are going down to single digit to Negative 11 (current forecast at the time of this post) with WIND CHILLS up to NEGATIVE 25. MOST ALL Domestic Type Animals, including cats and dogs can't survive such temps and wind chills. PLEASE provide indoor warm shelter & food for them until temps get back to normal !!

This IS NOT HOW we wanted to start the New Year!! Today, we lost WOOLLEY. Woolley last June had a Urinary Blockage and had to be catheterized twice over a two week plus period. He weighed 15.5 lbs at that time. Today he weighed in right at 9 lbs. Age: 15 1/2+ Years old. Starting Saturday he ate very little compared to what he would normally eat over these last several months. Sunday, Monday and Today, he stopped eating ANYTHING, just a few licks of gravy/juices, but did drink water.

Woolley was a TRIO of cats we took as their original human they adopted passed away after 13 years (from a kitten). That was 2 1/2 years ago. Sophie was the Mother and Mouse was the sister to Woolley. The TWO girls took to me right away within several days. Woolley, was a HUGE Griever over losing his original human and then the sudden change of a new home & new humans. He accepted me from a distance and if I got too close I would get SWATTED (less and less over time). This went on until June of last year even though I would bribe him with tons of treats, chicken and more.

In June of 2024 with his urinary blockage, a hospital stay and then a relapse where we kept him home (catheterized) and gave him IV fluids twice a day... Woolley finally gave in and accepted me as his human. I could even give him kisses without getting swatted!! This was a major milestone for us. Our bond from that point forward was awesome. I held Woolley today in my arms as he crossed over to meet his mother, sister and his PAL Jethro (whom we just lost on 12/31/24 see two posts back). My heart is broken once again, but I am glad to know he is no longer sick and running free!!

Sorry for the Delay on our next Update. Our CATS will Always take Priority!! We will update you soon as to our report for last year AND the five new cats we have taken over the last few weeks.

Strong Donor Update: First Off, THANK YOU All who donated for Strong's Surgery for his Tail Amputation, wee DID raise all funds to cover that cost!! In our November 10th, 2024 Post we stated that my Wife became certified to be able to Adjust (Chiropractic) dogs, cats & horses. Well.....

One of my wife's professors/instructors (Texas) who is ALSO a Veterinarian for 40+ years, that she trained under, suggested after hearing our case for Strong and what he all went through, a whole food nutritional protocol (3 products) that is geared to help with Strong's Nerves with the possible goal that he will regain feeling in his tail and that the PAIN SURGES will subside.

Since December 21st, when we started Strong on this, we are already seeing movement at the very END of his tail which is a first vs moving the entire tail (SEE VIDEO). We are hopeful this will work and save his tail amputated since there IS A CHANCE Strong will experience "Phantom Pain" (after surgery), which is the "wild card" we are concerned about. Otherwise, if this does not work, Amputation will take place in April, 2025.

So currently, while we wait during this process, Strong is OUT of his cage from 6:30ish am until 10:30pm every day with his tail wrapped in Popsicle Sticks to prevent biting/damage. At night, we place a cone on his and unwrap his tail to let it breathe overnight. THANKS again for your support for that who gave financially as YOU are the reason we are able to help the cats that we do !! Thanks Again.

SOMETIMES life deals some very difficult blows... as it is for us these last 10 days. Not only did we lose Abby a week ago Sunday totally unexpectedly (see 2 posts back) Tomorrow at 11 AM we will be saying goodbye to another, Jethro (approximately 16) 😿😥.

Back in late August of this year, Jethro had dental surgery done. Blood labs were done just prior to surgery. You will see in the one picture, 1 of 2 pages of blood labs that we did today. The totals on the far right is what they were back at the end of August. Sadly, since the surgery, he is currently very anemic, major kidney issues, Extreme high levels of potassium, And red blood cell count virtually not there.

Jethro, like a lot of cats, hide their illnesses very well until they just can't do it anymore as in this case. Over this past weekend he virtually stopped eating and has been drinking a lot of water. Jethro is at the point that would require hospitalization, a blood transfusion, and other urgent care. But in the long run it's only gonna help him for a very, very short time.

So the vets have done what they could to stabilize him for one more night so we get a chance to say goodbye and we will be losing him tomorrow at 11 AM. Jethro has been part of our team since November of 2010, and has been the social butterfly and ambassador to all of the cats that we have brought in over the years. Jethro gets along with all the cats and has a unique way of accepting them and making them feel welcome.

The hardest part will be not having him sleep with us at night time, Cuddle in my wife's arms, Rubbing his chin on my chin and loving us unconditionally. The picture with my wife and the 2 cats are Jethro and Abby who we just lost last Sunday and they were both of her lap kitties. The 2 pictures of Jethro on a blanket with my arm around him is today as I write this post. We will miss you Jethro... SO MUCH!!

DON'T KNOW WHO NEEDS TO HEAR THIS..... but Don't Ever Take LIFE for Granted and CHERISH ALL MOMENTS you have with them... Meaning for Both People and Pet Companions, which ARE Family Members Too !!

TOTALLY UNEXPECTEDLY at 1:45pm TODAY, our Cat ABBY had a Catastrophic Seizure that caused loss of control of her back legs/hip, We were on our way at 1:58pm to the Animal Hospital in Wooster when she passed away in my wife's arms at 2:10pm. Just 30 minutes prior to the seizure, she was enjoying the day, eating a CHURU Treat and was trying to steal Jethro's Food once he was done eating.

We woke up today NEVER Expecting this tragedy to happen!! Abby was around 13-14 Years Old. Abby Adopted us late Fall of 2014. My wife just got to work, opened the back door to the practice and in WALTZES Abby, walking in and out of the patients rooms, then winding up in the business office, got up on the counter and laid on a Laptop Keyboard for warmth. Starving, having two different types of worms and other minor health issues, she found her new humans. It's IRONIC... that day too we woke up and NEVER Realized we were about to add another cat to our family or just how much she would become part of OUR FAMILY !!

ABBY will be greatly MISSED, all the lap times, laser light chasing, playing fetch, Treat Times and good ole classic laughs from her daily routines !! RIP ABBY.

Be sure to hug and love on your pet companions TODAY !! As you Never know when they will not be around anymore !!

UPDATE on our Cat STRONG coming Monday 12/9/24.

FUN POST: A Big THANK YOU to Omahoma Bobs BBQ of Wooster, Ohio. Omahoma Bob's Barbeque Donated tonight some of their Fresh, Super Delicious, almost zero fat PULLED PORK for our cats. It's REALLY, REALLY GOOD!!

Approximately every 4-6 weeks we get a pound of their Pulled Pork due to the Quality, Taste and low sodium for our cats. Their food is not only people approved, but CATIFY CAT APPROVED!! I went in this afternoon for my pork and one of the owners/managers threw in an extra pound as a donation. That was Greatly Appreciated, this allows our cats to have a special treat for several days!! Thank You Omahoma Bobs BBQ for your Kindness. They always recognize me every time I go in!! If you are ever in Downtown Wooster, you have to try their Food/extensive menu for a meal or visit their website at http://www.omahomabobsbbq.com

Since our LAST POST about Strong (11/17/24) We have raised $400 so far of the $1000+ needed. THANK YOU to the folks who have Donated toward Strong's Tail Amputation so he can be CONE FREE and live a normal life. If you would like to help, ways to donate are at the end of this post. PLEASE HELP, We would greatly appreciate it!!

A BIG THANK YOU to Dyson Service Center We at Catify use EIGHT of the Dyson V10 & V11 Cordless Vacuums with the Motorized Heads that have "Hair Removal Vanes", which are AWESOME when you are caring for 24+ Cats in your home!! They have been Very Reliable and when we have had any issues (minor) This Dyson Service Center has been AWESOME in handling our issues and have given us great service so that we were never down. We have TRIED Other Vacuums and these Dyson V10 & V11's used daily and work VERY WELL!! Thank You Dyson for Your Support!!

A Big THANK YOU to Purina for your Monthly Support of Catify with three coupons monthly with a $49.99 value each for cases of Purina Pro Plan Vital Systems Moist Food, that is 36 Cases of food annually, which for us using a case a day is over a months worth of moist food! Thanks Again!!

To Our Monthly Supporters and individual donors, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for all that you do, your support, whether monthly or one time helps for the most part with our Veterinarian Bills that we have had with our cats care.

Thank You PetSmart of Wooster and PetSmart Charities for your Support, Kindness and Help with our Organization !! The staff at the Wooster, Ohio PetSmart Store are AWESOME and have always treated us Very Well !! PetSmart Charities has us approved to be able to place our cats with them for adoption in their store. We have not used that service yet as most all the cats we took from rescues either require help on a regular basis or due to helping them through issues they originally had to where they are today (so much better), it would not be fair to them to stress them out all over again from such a major change (environment, location & people change).

If you can help with Strong’s Upcoming Surgery/Vet Bills: We Will Thank You!! We are 501c3, so let us know if you need a receipt.

We NEED YOUR HELP for our 15 Month Old Kitten STRONG.... A FEW PICTURES are Graphic in Nature.

Most of our Followers know our Rescue STRONG who was 4 weeks old when we rescued him in September 2023 in front of PNC Bank, Orrville, Ohio who was HIT by a VEHICLE. Search our FB Posts using the words STRONG and/or KITTEN from 09/2023 Through Today.

SHORT STORY: We are NOW at the Point of having to do a TAIL AMPUTATION (we are SO SAD). When we FIRST took Strong....... He had the Following Wrong with him:

* Was Hit by an Auto Vehicle, had a fractured hip
* Lost Use of his TAIL (now has crooked movement, NO FEELING except PAIN SURGES)
* Lost Use of his Bladder & Bowels
* Had Fleas, Roundworms & Tapeworms
* Had a Parasite: Giardia
* Had to be EXPRESSED for his Bladder (for two weeks+) and had Uncontrollable Diarrhea (for almost 3 months) Not to forget well OVER 300+ Baths, many BACK TO BACK!!
* On PRESCRIPTION FOOD: Royal Canin PD Moist & Gastrointestinal Dry Food ($5.25 a day for 8 months, $157 Monthly)
* Beginning at 9 months plus, we were FINALLY able to start to wean Strong off the prescription food without dealing with bouts of Diarrhea.
* Bladder & Bowels were functioning well while under prescription food and through today no more digestive/bowel issues.
* Fleas & Worms were gone by 8 weeks, Parasite gone by 4 months (came back once during that time)
* Minimal use of the tail came back but NO FEELING, but enough to get it out of the way going potty.
* It was suggested by our Vets to Amputate his tail at 10 months as Strong STARTED having PAIN SURGE ATTACKS at the area you will see in the Pictures Attached.
* We opted to go the extra expense with Chiropractic & Acupuncture Treatments for five months to see if that would help KEEP his tail. While there HAS BEEN Improvement in Usage/Movement, we still have NO FEELING in it except for when these Pain Surges come. He has had as many as THREE attacks in 30 minutes to 1 within 3 1/2 Weeks, they are very RANDOM, but when they come, we have NO NOTICE and Strong will just BITE the HECK out of that area to make it stop, with blood going everywhere.

Unfortunately, we HAVE TO Cage Him for 12 hours a day and we wrap his tail in Wooden Popsicle Sticks by day to give him CONE FREEDOM and only while we are able to watch him for the most part. It's time to let STRONG lead a Normal life, Uncaged and UNCONED. It breaks our heart to make him go through this and he is SUCH a Loving Cat, but we can't make him live like that the rest of his life.

We have NOT asked much this year for donations (and we are this year $12,000+ deficit in vet bills alone for all of our cats) but we are asking for your help with this $1000 Surgery (See Estimate Pic) Ours will be right at $1000 and is a tricky surgery as we don't want any more NERVES Damaged in the process. If you can HELP, it would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.

We have Invested to date for Strong's Care: $1,804.73 Orrville Vets (See Pics) $336.00 For Dancing Paws Animal Wellness (Chiropractic) & $1256+ to Chewy for Prescription Food, Total: $3,396.73 with only close to $500 that came in donations for his care.

If you can help with Strong’s Upcoming Surgery/Vet Bills: We Will Thank You!! We are 501c3, so let us know if you need a receipt.

PROPERTY SEARCH UPDATE: As most of you know from our August 9th Facebook Post, we had put an offer in on a church building that was for sale. Unfortunately, another buyer had offered more than we were willing to pay due to the upgrades that we would need to do to the building, especially being a 501c3 operating on donations only. If you did not see the pictures of this church, please look at the August 9th Facebook Post, as this would have the potential to serve up to 250-300 cats.

We SINCE LEARNED that the buyer backed out of the deal and the property is still available. Yesterday we had a conversation with the United Methodist Church District in Canton, and we are in the process this weekend to resubmit our offer with an appeal expressing how this building will still be serving not only multiple people, communities & counties, but how it will HELP US HELP SO MANY Cats and that for us is Truly a Ministry.

How quickly we will hear back we do not know, but this time our information will be going directly to three different individuals. We will keep everyone posted as soon as we hear anything. Otherwise we have been looking for other suitable locations and ones that could even house a home for us and property for a new or existing building already there.

TWO UPDATES: (1) Our offer for the church property/building was submitted last Saturday and we should hear back from the Realtor sometime this week after the Board of Trustees makes a decision. (2): Update on our near 1 year old kitten who was hit by a vehicle at 4 weeks of age. He is now almost off of his prescription food ($5.00+ per day to feed him) His digestive & bowels are finally allowing us to transition to Blue Buffalo over the counter food which is about $2.25 a day, so we are THANKFUL. His TAIL is the last of his many issues he had wrong that we feel is SLOWLY coming around. We will give this another month or so and if not much better from today, we will consult a neurologist to see what options, if any, we have before an amputation. Please WATCH this two minute video to see what he goes through when he has these attacks. They are lasting about a minute or two and them NOW up to 2 weeks in between attacks. He has been getting Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Laser Treatments to try to help the healing process. Outside of these random attacks, he is a healthy, very happy, purring kitty!!

Charlie, a very Unique Cat with a Unique Meow

This is CHARLIE as of 1/27/24.... LISTEN to her "Meow" & "Purring". She is 90% Better. Her Story and Difficult Decisions we made helped her to get through her totally unexpected medical crisis she just experienced starting 1/9/24. Her full story on Monday Night 1/29/24!!

Here is ONE of our THREE cats with health issues we have been dealing with. This one (Strong) ends with very good news, at least for now as of this post.
