The Fate of a Feline Mom… ❤️

What a great idea. Germany is ahead of the curve!

In Germany, some supermarkets have introduced a clever solution for dog owners: pet parking pads. These are temperature-controlled, ventilated kennels placed near store entrances where dogs can safely rest while their owners shop. According to DogSpot, one of the companies behind the innovation, the kennels are designed to be secure, hygienic, and stress-free for pets. Owners can lock and unlock them using a smartphone app or a store-provided code, ensuring both safety and convenience.

The idea is to prevent dogs from being tied up outside in unpredictable weather or left in hot cars, which can be dangerous. According to DW News, the pet pads maintain a comfortable climate year-round and include transparent panels so dogs can see out, reducing anxiety. This initiative reflects Germany’s growing commitment to pet-friendly urban design and has been praised for combining technology, animal welfare, and everyday practicality.

Anyone looking for two cute kitties ?

Another week of adoptions and another week where C.C. and Maggie were overlooked. I cannot for the life of me understand why these beautiful, sweet girls continue to sit at the adoption center waiting.

They love to play, they love to be held, and they are so ready to leave their foster days behind and become part of a family. I know if someone just came in and met them it would be game over and they’d be adopted. Unfortunately, they’ve just had zero interest and our volunteers’ hearts break for them.

If you’re thinking about bringing a kitten or two home, please consider C.C. and Maggie. They have so much love to give and I know whoever eventually takes them will have 15-20 years of added love, joy, and happiness because of them.

Please help boost this post by liking, commenting, and sharing.

DM me for more info or apply below to meet them!

Too cute for words!

👀 You may have come across the ads for these at-home ultrasonic tooth scaler/cleaning devices for pets. Although it may sound like a great idea to pet owners, using this kind of device at home is essentially performing anesthesia-free dental cleaning. It not only fails to clean pets’ teeth thoroughly, but it also poses many risks:
⚠ Without cooling with water, it can overheat teeth and cause damage.
⚠ It creates micro-scratches on enamel. Without polishing, the tooth surface becomes rough, and plaque will be more likely to adhere.
⚠ Teeth may look cleaner on the surface, but plaque and calculus are still present underneath the gumline, on the inside of teeth, and in other places where owners cannot reach while pets are awake.
⚠ The device aerosolizes bacteria during use, which will be inhaled by both pets and pet owners (dangerous!).
⚠ When it’s done for patients with painful dental conditions, it causes a significant amount of pain and discomfort. It can damage the relationship between pets and their owners, and in some cases, owners may be bitten by their pets.
⚠ Without proper diagnosis and treatment by professionals, disease can be hidden and will continue to cause pain and discomfort for pets.

Do you have one of these breeds? The husky may be the most accurate…
