Hopper and Rosie are here at Petsense with us today. Tango ran out this morning so he's a no show 🤷 you know he is a mess! Hopefully he will be waiting for us when we get back. In the meantime, these sweet babies have patiently been awaiting their forever home and are as deserving and sweet as can be. Come see or adopt today! We'll be here from 12-3

Good morning from Tango. This cuddly bug will always be, by your side through thick or thin. While his foster mama was doing laundry the other day, he ran off with one of her socks! Life will never be boring with him around. And if that look doesn't melt you heart I don't know what will. Come see him and more tomorrow at Pet Sense in Roanoke Rapids from 12-3pm. They eagerly await their forever home. *remember* cats are a 10-20 year commitment and they just get better with age.

Let's see all the outdoor shelters people have for their community cats to stay warm this winter! ❄️🥰😸

Don't walk past the senior cats in the shelter.

They may be old, and they may move a little slower. Their fur might be scruffy, and their eyes weary from waiting. But their hearts? Their hearts remain full of pure, unwavering love.

They don't ask for much - just a soft spot to rest, gentle hands, and someone who finally chooses them. Day after day, they wait quietly, watching the younger cats leave, still hoping their turn will come.

When you adopt a senior cat, you're not just giving them a home... you're giving them their final chapter filled with warmth instead of loneliness. And in return, they give you a love that is calm, immensely grateful, and endlessly true.

Please, don't ignore these old souls. Sometimes the greatest love truly comes with a few gray whiskers.

And this Christmas season, the most meaningful gift you can give a senior cat is the promise of forever love and peace. 🎄

Feeding outdoor (feral or stray) cats kitten food in winter can actually be a very good idea — within reason.

Here’s why and how to do it safely:

🐾 Why Kitten Food Helps

Higher calories and fat content: Kitten food is more calorie-dense, which helps cats maintain body heat and weight in cold weather.

Extra protein: It supports muscle maintenance and overall health when energy demands are high.

Palatability: Many cats find kitten food tastier, encouraging them to eat more.

🥣 How to Feed It Safely

Mix with adult food: If you have a colony, you can mix kitten food with regular adult cat food (50/50 or 1/3 kitten food) to boost calories without upsetting stomachs.

Dry food is best in freezing temps: Wet food can freeze quickly, but dry food (especially kitten kibble) stays edible longer.

Provide warm water: Hydration is just as critical as food — use heated bowls or change water often.

Shelter helps maximize nutrition: Even a simple insulated bin or straw-lined shelter will help them use those calories efficiently.

⚠️ Caution

Feeding high-calorie food long-term (once temperatures warm up) can lead to weight gain or digestive issues. Switch back to adult food in spring.

🚩 Always ensure any new community cats are spayed/neutered to prevent more kittens in the colony.
