Dedicated to connecting people who love pets The Triangle Area Professional Pet Sitters was formally created in 2008 .
Nancy Stevens , owner of Ark Angels Pet Care , had begun inviting other pet sitters to meet for coffee in 2002 when she had just started her own business. The initial purpose was to get to know each other and share our common problems and mistakes . The hope was to form friendships and a network of folks who could help each other . After 6 years of coffee chats, the group grew and we were regularl
y having 10-14 people attend. Once everyone agreed that we should organize into a non profit group and start having regularly scheduled meeting a Board was formed and our Policies and Mission Statement were developed. Jerry Wentz of Homesitters of Raleigh, Ron Wilson of Kildaire Cat n Canary, CIndy Golden of Raleigh Pet Sitters, Denise Doll of Reining Cats and Dogs, Kato George of Bone A Fide Pet Care, Liza Koome of Pipers Pets, Lois Kelly of Four Paws and Laura Campbell of Paws Up Pet Sitting were the initial Board members when the group first organized. In the first 3 years , the group grew to 27 members and raised over$40,000 worth of food,pet care items and money to give to local rescue groups. In more recent years, TAPPS has elected to donate money to 2 rescue groups a year and recently established a scholarship fund for the NC State Vet School. We are local pet sitters who care about each other and our community .The TAPPS Group is now officially dissolved as a non profit group ( 12/29/2015) . We'll continue to refer to each other and get to know one another but there will no longer be a web site nor formal meetings or gatherings.
This handsome blue tick hound was brought to us today by Animal Control. He was suffering from heat exhaustion and has a sore neck. Luckily no broken bones. We’ve put him on IV fluids and some pain meds so he is comfortable. If you would like to make a donation to his care, please call the hospital directly to donate to our Good Samaritan Fund. 919.258.3349.

Don't miss Purr Partners' Kitten Shower next weekend!! 🐈🐈🐈
Lots of babies will be showing up at PetSmarts on Sat and Sun, too young right now for adoption, but we just have to give you a preview of what awesome kittens are growing and learning to be good cats and will be ready for adoption in the weeks to come.
Kittens will be at the Wake Forest and Capital Crossings Raleigh PetSmarts on Sat, 1-3p, and the Six Forks Station PetSmart on Sun, 1-3p. Plan to visit!!
Purr Partners has taken in many very young babies this spring and we all know that babies need food and vet care to grow strong and healthy. Won't you please help out with donations of kitten food, supplies, or money to help with kitten care.
Purr Partners is good at 2 things: rescuing and finding homes for kitties, and begging for money and supplies. Help Purr Partners do both, please!! 🐈🐈🐈

Please do not allow your pets to drink out of our swim and standing water! Blue green algae is starting to bloom in our areas as the temperatures have warmed up. Several pets in our general area have already fallen victim to the toxins associated with blue green algae. The article below was published by NC State last year, but still has valid information. Please keep in mind that you cannot always see giant floating rafts of algae in the water! Always pick flowing and running water for your pets recreational experiences.

Camomilla is a sweet but shy jet-black kitty with the loveliest long, silky fur. She takes time to warm up to new people and places, but once Camilla trusts someone, she really opens up. She would be happiest in a quiet home without small children or other pets. Perhaps you could be the one she's been hoping to meet?
