We are so excited to invite everyone to join our puppy AND kitten yoga sessions on Sunday, July 21, 2024 at 10:30 AM and Noon at the Bryant Street Market Washington, DC!
For tickets/registration- follow the link in our stories!
Come meet 10-12 of our feline friends and enjoy a good stretch and then hang out with our puppies post-session ❤️
🚨 Each session is BYOM- bring your own mat and water
🚨This is NOT an adoption event, however you will have the opportunity to meet and interact with a number of our puppies and kitties who are available for adoption. Our volunteers are happy to answer questions about the pets and our adoption process. We are not able to do same-day adoptions.
🚨 Just like human babies, puppies and kittens sometimes have *accidents* we will have paper towels on hand to keep the area clean, but we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty 😊

Here at ACADFR we like to learn and share what we know. Today we would like to talk about knees- particularly kneecaps 🦵🏻🦿and what better model than gorgeous, thriving Sparkles?! ✨
Sparkles has a condition known as bilateral medial patellar luxations. It’s not uncommon in cats and dogs. In English it essentially means that her kneecaps slip out of the groove that usually holds them in place. It can affect any breed but Abyssinian cats and Devon Rex’s are known to have a genetic predisposition. There are 4 grades of severity. Corrective surgery can be done depending on a number of factors including the level of severity. For more information about this condition, check out the link in our stories 👍🏻
Sparkles ✨ has grade 4 patellar luxations, which is the most severe. We have had her evaluated by our veterinarian and have found that Sparkles was born with the condition and she is not a good candidate for surgery. What this means is that Sparkles has a permanent, adorable bow-legged walk/bunny hop and her kneecaps are permanently out of place. She does have some limited range of motion but she is not in any pain and, as you can see in the video, she is happy and otherwise very healthy.
We love our Sparkle girl and we know her forever family is out there. Unfortunately, pets like her who aren’t considered ‘normal’ are often overlooked by adopters. But we believe that the differences a pet has are what makes them special! ❤️
