𝗣𝗦𝗔 thanks to Precious Paws Community Cats - TNR Group: An ear tipped cat DOES NOT always mean the cat is JUST a feral or stray community cat.

Sometimes, after a cat is TNRed, it can be found to be adoptable. Often times friendly ear tipped cats are the ones that do have a microchip because they don’t want people to think that they aren’t owned just because of the ear being tipped which only indicates that the cat has been spayed or neutered.

If you see a new cat roaming in your area - eartipped or not - take photos, talk to neighbors, and check and post on nextdoor, lost & found sites, etc. to see if anyone knows the cat - unless the cat really seems sick, injured, lost or traumatized than intervene quicker.

If the cat has no owner or caregiver take the cat to the vet to be scanned for a microchip to see if it's registered to a rescue or individual. (If the cat is unowned and not fixed, please make sure the kitty gets spayed or neutered.)

------------------------------

𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:
• 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 means a free roaming cat that is NOT friendly.
• 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆 means a free roaming but friendly cat.

Feral cat colonies or feral feeding stations are not what we should call them, as they aren’t always all feral. Community cat colonies or community cat feeding station is better to use.

When you see someone post an ear tipped cat, the wrong thing to do is tell people that it’s probably just a feral cat. This can deter people from following normal protocol and result in the death of a cat if the cat isn’t taken in and left outside rather, as it could be a pet that has no idea where it’s at and then ventures out into the road etc.

If you plan to comment on missing pet posts, instead of saying “just a feral cat because it has an ear tip”, let’s try, “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗧𝗡𝗥 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝘁; Please check with neighbors to see if the cat is owned and/or has a caregiver and if not, 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 the cat 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘃𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗽 (𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴).”

What a great breed mix and such a handsome boy!! South Coast Humane Society - the real one has a hard working crew that gives their all for the animals under their care. Have been there twice. Not a tough drive.

ATTICUS....can't believe he's been with us a week without some inquiries...he's the life of the party! He's a Collie/husky mix that is about 3-4 years old. He had an FHO in December and had a broken front leg that we thought we were going to have to amputate, but after casting the vet said to leave alone- because he gets along just fine with it and uses it a lot! He's great with other dogs, housebroken, and such a loverboy! Come and meet this big fluff ball...

Hands down (…Paws down!) the best dog journal to help provide the safest and healthiest care for dogs!!

My “go to” especially for nutrition concerns…
[Mary Ann Prosyniuk of Celebrity Pets Holistic Care]

When dogs have digestive issues, you might think of giving them rice, but it’s not the best choice.

Rice lacks essential fiber and nutrients needed for recovery and carries risks like arsenic contamination, which can lead to serious health issues.

Rice is also high in carbohydrates, increasing the risk of diabetes—now affecting 1 in 300 dogs.

Nutritionally, rice offers little value, lacking in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients crucial for a dog’s diet. Furthermore, substituting meat with rice in dog food reduces the intake of essential amino acids like taurine, necessary for their health.

Dogs have thrived for millennia on meats and specific plant materials, not on processed grains like rice.

Choosing alternatives that align with their natural dietary needs is crucial for their wellbeing. For more insights on why rice might not be the right choice for your dog.

Unlike most days at the Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and grey, damp as a swamp and as dismal as could be imagined. All the recent arrivals were confused and concerned. They had no idea what to think for they had never experienced a day like this before. But the animals who had spent some time waiting for their beloved people knew exactly what was happening and began to gather at the pathway leading to the Bridge to watch. They knew this was something special.

It wasn't too long before an elderly animal came into view, head hung heavy and low with tail dragging along the ground. The other animals on the pathway...the ones who had been at Rainbow Bridge for a while...knew the story of this sad creature immediately. They had seen it happen far too many times.

Although it was obvious the animal's heart was leaden and he was totally overcome with emotional pain and hurt, there was no sign of injury or any illness. Unlike the pets waiting at the Bridge, this dog had not been restored to his prime. He was full of neither health nor vigor. He approached slowly and painfully, watching all the pets who were by now watching him. He knew he was out of place here. This was no resting place for him. He felt instinctively that the sooner he could cross over, the happier he would be. But alas, as he came closer to the Bridge, his way was barred by the appearance of an Angel who spoke softly to the old dog and apologized sorrowfully, telling him that he would not be able to pass. Only those animals who were with their special people could pass over the Rainbow Bridge. And he had no special beloved people...not here at the Bridge nor on Earth below.

With no place else to turn, the poor elderly dog looked toward the fields before the Bridge. There, in a separate area nearby, he spotted a group of other sad-eyed animals like himself...elderly and infirm. Unlike the pets waiting for their special people, these animals weren't playing, but simply lying on the green grass, forlornly and miserably staring out at the pathway leading to the Bridge. The recent arrival knew he had no choice but to join them. And so, he took his place among them, just watching the pathway and waiting.

One of the newest arrivals at the Bridge, who was waiting for his special people, could not understand what he had just witnessed and asked one of the pets who had been there for some time to explain it to him.

"That poor dog was a rescue, sent to the pound when his owner grew tired of him. The way you see him now, with greying fur and sad, cloudy eyes, was exactly the way he was when he was put into the kennels. He never, ever made it out and passed on only with the love and comfort that the kennel workers could give him as he left his miserable and unloved existence on Earth for good. Because he had no family or special person to give his love, he has nobody to es**rt him across the Bridge."

The first animal thought about this for a minute and then asked, "So what will happen now?"

As he was about to receive his answer, the clouds suddenly parted and the all-invasive gloom lifted. Coming toward the Bridge could be seen a single figure...a person who, on Earth, had seemed quite ordinary...a person who, just like the elderly dog, had just left Earth forever. This figure turned toward a group of the sad animals and extended outstretched palms. The sweetest sounds they had ever heard echoed gently above them and all were bathed in a pure and golden light. Instantly, each was young and healthy again, just as they had been in the prime of life.

From within the gathering of pets waiting for their special people, a group of animals emerged and moved toward the pathway. As they came close to the passing figure, each bowed low and each received a tender pat on the head or a scratch behind the ears. Their eyes grew even brighter as the figure softly murmured each name. Then, the newly-restored pets fell into line behind the figure and quietly followed this person to the Bridge, where they all crossed together.

The recent arrival who had been watching, was amazed. "What happened?"

"That was a rescuer," came the answer.

"That person spent a lifetime trying to help pets of all kinds. The ones you saw bowing in respect were those who found new homes because of such unselfish work. They will cross when their families arrive. Those you saw restored were ones who never found homes. When a rescuer arrives, they are permitted to perform one, final act of rescue. They are allowed to es**rt those poor pets that couldn't place on Earth across the Rainbow Bridge. You see, all animals are special to them...just as they are special to all animals."

"I think I like rescuers," said the recent arrival.

"So does God," was the reply.

Gracious comments.
Suzanne Clothier is a commendable individual, as well. I’ve attended a couple of her dog training presentations.

Dr. Goodall, who is best known for her work with chimpanzees, recently celebrated her forthcoming 90th birthday with as many dogs and explained why she isn’t slowing down.

Today is National K9 Veterans' Day; an event to remember and thank military and service dogs for their hard work and loyalty. From the battlefields to search and rescue operations, to assisting law enforcement and being therapy companions, these dogs play an indispensable role. This day honours their sacrifices, dedication, and the invaluable services they provide.

Ohhh - a great way to support the Cascade Community Pool in White City!!! It is so valuable for the children of our area AND our elders!! Pick up the blue and/or bring in what recyclables you can. HELP keep a great organization going!!!

Here at the Pool we use a Bottle Drop account to recycle Cans and Bottles. As a non profit, we use it as a slush fund for any unexpected expenses. And, unfortunately, there are. Non Profits use a Blue Bag to identify themselves. There are bags available at the Pool for you to pick up.

If you could donate, your Cans and Bottles, that would be awesome. You can either pick up a bag and a label here or just bring the cans and we will manage them. Window for this promotion from the Bottle Drop is to celebrate Earth Day. Date is April 22 to May 5th, Bottle Drop will give us an extra 20% over the value of the recycled cans and bottles. So for every $1. worth of Cans and Bottles we will receive $1.20 in return.

Our plan is to keep this working until the Window opens on April 22.

Thank you so much! We appreciate the support.
