Did you know cats can get acne? Plastic water/food bowls are often the cause as well as diet, hormones, allergies, bacteria, fungus, skin mites, and cleanliness.

Classic feline acne occurs on the chin and lips as blackheads and whiteheads. Typically, these are not painful. But never pick at your cat's acne as picking will only worsen the condition and potentially cause pain and even infection. Cat acne is likely to be painful in the moderate to severe cases where the skin is inflamed, swollen, oozing, and scabbing due to a skin infection.

Treatment begins with swapping plastic food and water bowls for ceramic or stainless-steel ones and washing them daily to help prevent flare-ups. Then consult your veterinarian for treatment which can range from antibacterial wipes or medicated shampoos to supplements or medication. Most cat acne can be cured or controlled with proper management.

Can it be September already?? Summer is over and school resumes. Leaves falling, cooler weather, and soon the snow will fly. Keep an eye open for kittens born under a shed or abandoned elsewhere. Please contact SAFER. We will help rescue these precious lives. Trying to survive outdoors is not an easy task, especially little ones. Thank you for your help and support!

Losing a kitty is heart breaking. It takes time to get past the grief, to have the fond memories without the pain. Once you do, consider what your treasured late kitty would want…perhaps saving another kitty – like you saved him. Sharing your love with another kitty is a wonderful way to honor your sweet angel. www.safercats.com/adoptions. SAFER does not adopt kitties. We rescue them, get them vet care, and give them to other rescues so they can place them in their forever homes. Every kitty deserves love and a home of their own.

How do you introduce a new kitty to your home and current cat? Take it slow! Establish the new cat in a separate room. Keep them separated and start with scent swapping. Feed them on opposite sides of a door. After you've done this for a while (don't rush), let them have visual but not physical access to each other. Then after this goes well, supervise them in the same room with each other. Distract and play with them separately so they don't just zero in on each other. Be ready to react and take them away from each other if necessary. Keep doing this until they become comfortable.

Integrating a new kitty into your home can take time…after all, your cats did not ask to have a new kitty join the house. Patience is key! It can take a few days to a year or more – but eventually everyone should be a big happy home. Good luck and thank you for rescuing another kitty!

Declawing is NOT just taking off a cat’s toenails. It is amputating every toe on your cat’s feet at the first knuckle! It is easy to trim a cat’s claws and give them alternatives to scratching things you don’t want scratched (please see: https://www.safercats.com/don-t-don-t-don-t). More and more of the world is joining the movement to Outlaw Declawing. We all love our cats! Let’s gently train them to scratch appropriately so everyone can be happy.

Nothing that you love is ever lost.
How could it ever be – when you loved from within.
To all those who have loved and lost a kitty: if you see another kitty that needs a home, consider that this new kitty may have been sent to save, by your dear departed loved one - just like you rescued her. Please consider adopting again. SAVE another life in honor and memory of your forever-remembered treasured baby.

Fireworks, hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, good friends and family – SAFER wishes you all a happy holiday weekend. All the commotion has certainly upset your kitties, but you can create a quiet space with extra love and attention to help her feel safe again. Hopefully their nerves will calm down by Monday.

Record HEAT – 102 degrees!!! Cats are like people…it is difficult to deal with the heat (and they don’t all have access to air conditioning or even a fan). Heatstroke is a serious condition that cats experience when their body temperature becomes so high their body cannot cool themselves. The precursor to heatstroke is heat exhaustion which includes restless behavior as they search for a cool spot or area, panting, drooling, sweaty paws or excessive grooming. To cool off, cats sweat a bit through their foot pads, lick their fur, drink water, hang out in shady spots, or stretch out on a cool surface to expose more of their body surface to release heat. If you have or see a cat in distress, see a veterinarian immediately! If not treated promptly, heatstroke can lead to organ damage, seizures, coma, and death.

We can help by keeping cats indoors during hot weather, if possible, or provide access to cool, shady spots with fresh water for those outdoor cats. (Dehydration can make cats more susceptible to heatstroke.) Sheds, conservatories, and greenhouses trap heat. Keep them as cool as possible when allowing free access to cats as a shelter.
