In recognition of Independence Day, all Potter League for Animals locations will be closed on Thursday, July 4. We will resume normal operations on Friday, July 5.

While you're enjoying the holiday festivities, please remember to keep your pets safe and comfortable. Fireworks and loud noises can be very stressful for animals, so here are a few tips to help your pets feel secure:

🔸 Keep Pets Indoors: Create a safe space inside your home where your pets can feel sheltered from the noise. Close windows and curtains to minimize the sound of fireworks.

🔸 Provide Comfort: Give your pets their favorite toys, blankets, and a cozy place to hide. Playing calming music or white noise can also help drown out the sounds of fireworks.

🔸 Update Identification: Ensure your pets have up-to-date identification tags and are microchipped. In case they get scared and run away, this will help you be reunited more quickly.

🔸 Exercise Early: Take your dogs for a walk and engage in playtime earlier in the day to tire them out before the evening celebrations begin.

We wish you a safe and happy Independence Day!

Some times our stories don't end with adoption photos, but we think they are just as important to share with you.

Our volunteers have been working to spay/neuter and vaccinate a colony of 23 feral cats and they were finally able to help two cats who have been evading their efforts. Thankfully, just in time as this gal here was suffering from a significant case of pyometra. Pyometra is a preventable infection that occurs in the female reproductive tract of cats who are not spayed. The best and only way to prevent pyometra is to spay your cat.

Thankfully, our friends at Potter League Spay & Neuter Clinic were able to treat her infection with surgery and she has been recuperating before being returned to her home.

RI is home to many stray cats in need of help. Ten Lives believes that we need a systematic, multi-pronged approach to improve the lives of cats in our community. It's not an easy problem, but it's a solvable problem.

If you want to improve the lives of cats and solve big problems, join our team and let's get to work.
