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:

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. 😹🐶😹🐶

Heard a bunch of noise this morning and checked the animal cameras. It seems Aurora was not as innocent as she appeared when the boys got in the cat room last Friday. She’s playing with Beetlejuice by the door! 😹🐶😹🐶

Update on Tripley
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. ❤️😻🐶😻🐶❤️

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

Play time!

Pinky is definitely a mommas girl!

When you’re talking to a friend online and don’t pay attention to the “quiet dogs” around you. Wouldn’t change the boys for anything, so it’s a fluff life for us!🤦🏼‍♀️😹🐶😹🐶

Night time shenanigans and then Tripley “signed off” for the night. 😹🐶😹🐶😹

When your neighbors are real turkeys. 😹🐶😹🐶😹 (They sleep in the tree behind our barn at night and then head to the blueberry field across the street in the morning.)
