Phaedra & Phriends

Phaedra & Phriends Representing Disabled/Special Needs Pets as disabled does not mean disposable. To quote a FB friend: "Blindness is their ABILITY not their disability."

(We also helped feral cats in our mobile home park that desperately needed care, by promoting a TNR program) http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ref=gno_listpop_wi Phaedra & Phriends is designed to share the love we have of our blind cats "Phaedra, Keller, Joker & Geordi" (plus the rest of our "special" kitties) with all animal lovers AND where those who may also have special needs animals

can share photos and their stories of their pets. Here is the link to an article written about Phaedra: http://peacelovenwhiskers.com/2012/08/11/animal-articles-meet-phaedra/

We started in a mobile home community within Holland, MI, and developed what we called (for lack of a better term): "Phaedra's Pherals". We supported the feral community that Phaedra was born into, by giving them food, shelter, and medical care. If left up to the management of the park, the cats would have been trapped and dispatched of. Most of that community lives on Social Security, Disability, or unemployment, which is what makes this task of helping so daunting and why we are in need of assistance. We have saved many feral kittens, seven of which are blind, and hope to be able to continue saving them and getting them in a TNR Program (trap, neuter, release). Anyone wanting to help "donate", we have two ways people can donate:

Donations can be sent via PayPal using our email address: [email protected]

Donations can also be directly sent via check (Make checks payable to Fred or Marty Hoewe) or cash to:

One of the happiest posts we ever made still brings me to my knees with sorrow… we fought so hard for him, only to lose him and all the others not even 10 months later. 😭

Beetlejuice loves to play outside but not when it’s -1°F !! One our phriends sent a donation for boots for the boys and we shall see if we have enough to also get a coat for Beetlejuice. Gonna stop at the Humane Society thrift store for the coat!

Please put your paws together for our admin Krista and her sister Kenda as they said goodbye to their sweet Boda and released him into the arms of their mom at the Rainbow Bridge, tonight. He lived a good long life and became their mom’s companion through her health struggles. They are free to fly together again. ❤️ 😇

Why we are poor… Beetlejuice is literally eating us out of house and home! 🤣
Some have even suggested that we get rid of him because he goes from being sweet to destructive when he’s bored… hell no! We have never given up on an animal, no matter what their issues are, and we never will. ❤️

It’s hard to admit when you need help, but we do. Mommas hours at work got cut drastically and we are running out of food.
Sadly, Pinky’s food isn’t available through Amazon, only Chewy, and it’s the only food that doesn’t make her sick. The dogs food comes from Walmart but we should be able to transition to something different. Please help if you can!
(Yes, she’s diligently looking for another job but so far no one has jumped at the chance to hire her.)

Hopefully we have enough on payday to replace the handicap accessible door k**b for the cat room to a “normal” turn k**b as Beetlejuice has figured out out how to open the door! He and Trip completely trashed the cat room by ripping apart the garbage. Aurora just sat in her condo and watched. 😹🐶😹🐶

Momma was startled this morning when she went out to our garage and thought a stray cat got in… she forgot she left her purse in the garage! 😹🐶😹🐶

Update on Tripley

It was an exhausting weekend, but Tripley finally started to perk up around 1am this morning. Gave them some food and hopefully he has overcome whatever had him feeling ill. ❤️😻🐶😻🐶❤️

Life with Animals

Momma spent well over an hour and a half cleaning the dog and cat rooms… it took the boys less than that to undo everything! At least we know Aurora is not afraid of the boys! Life with animals is NEVER DULL! (Sorry about the poo shot, momma didn’t know how to blur that out, plus… she’s too busy recleaning! 😹🐶😹🐶) #pitbullsofinstagram #forloveofpitties

Pinky is definitely a mommas girl!
