September is "Pet Pain Awareness" Month. A question that we are often asked is “how can I tell if my pet is in pain if they cannot tell me?” 🤔

Pets can be very stoic in how they communicate that they are in pain, so at times they may not show any signs. The most common responses to look for are depression, aggression, limping, resistance to petting or grooming, not eating, panting excessively, and much more. If you have concerns that your pet could be in pain, send us a text at 270-812-7770. 🐾

We've got a story for you all that shows the importance of microchipping your pets!

Kuvira, a beloved rescue cat from the Rescue House in California, was adopted by her family and was about to embark on a big adventure. In July 2024, Kuvira and her mom, Mercedes, were moving to Maryland for college, traveling all the way from California with a U-Haul trailer. Kuvira had been doing great throughout the trip, but an unexpected event changed everything.

Around 3 a.m. during the weekend of July 4th, 2024, they stopped at a rest area in Jasper, TN. Kuvira was being watched by her owner’s little brother, who put her on a leash to clean some litter off the seat she was sitting on. Unfortunately, he wasn’t holding the leash securely, and when someone nearby slammed their car door, it startled Kuvira. She bolted, dragging the leash behind her.

Kuvira had never been outside before, so she was understandably terrified. She hid herself well, and despite their best efforts, her family couldn’t find her. The next day, they discovered her leash on the ground, suggesting she had managed to wiggle out of it, but she was still hiding somewhere. The family stayed two days longer at the rest area, desperately searching for Kuvira. They reported her missing to the rest area staff and to 24-Hour Pet Watch, but to no avail. Kuvira remained missing on the east side of the rest area.

Weeks passed and on August 25th, 2024, there was finally good news. Kuvira had been found! She had somehow crossed all the lanes of the interstate and was discovered at the west side rest area. The staff at this rest area mentioned that Kuvira had been around for about a week, assuming she was a stray. A family traveling back to Kentucky spotted her and decided to take her with them.

Upon returning to Kentucky, the family brought Kuvira to us on August 28th, 2024, to ensure she was healthy. We scanned her for a microchip and discovered her identity. A quick call to 24-Hour Pet Watch led them to her owners, who were overjoyed to be reunited with their lost cat!

Kuvira’s story is a wonderful reminder of the importance of microchipping your pets. If a pet goes missing, it’s crucial to report them right away. And if you find a lost pet, never assume they are strays—always have them checked for a microchip. Thanks to her microchip, Kuvira’s journey had a happy ending, reuniting her with her loving family! 🐾

☠️Metal toxicity☠️ is a serious threat to our feathered friends. Common household items like wires, jewelry, and even some cages can contain toxic metals like lead, zinc, and copper.

Ingesting or chewing on these items can lead to severe health issues, including vomiting, seizures, and even death. Always inspect your bird's environment for potential hazards and provide safe, bird-friendly toys and perches. 🦜

Black cats are some of the most affectionate cats, loyal to their owners, and playful! Sounds like the purr-fect cat, right? Unfortunately, black cats are some of the most overlooked cats in shelters and rescues because of the superstition they bring bad luck. If you have a black cat, post their photo to show your appreciation for them and share what you love most about them! 🐈‍🐾🖤
