World Stray Animals Day is observed annually on April 4th to raise awareness about the plight of stray animals worldwide.

The day aims to highlight the challenges faced by stray animals, including lack of shelter, food, medical care, and exposure to harsh weather conditions. Individuals and organisations can participate by providing food and water, offering temporary shelter, assisting injured animals, adopting strays, or supporting local animal welfare groups.

This is one of my roommates, Meow.

My pawrents adopted Meow in 2015 at Animal Humane Society .
She was listed as a forget-me-not because she was a little older. Her previous owner ran her over and broke her pelvis, dropping her off full of mats. The AHS fixed her all up! She is the sweetest kitty ever.

Weather permitted, Meow will be strolling in her Meowdi  one month from today at the annual Animal Humane Society, Walk for Animals. 

This also will be my pawrents 15th year participating and donating in the walk. It is something that means so much to us as it helps animals not just in our community, but in other states that face horrible disasters and situations for animals who desperately need help.

No purressure! I know times are still tough but If you’d like to help sponsor Meow in the walk the link is below.
Any amount is appreciated and will make a world of difference. 😽♥️🐾

February is also pet dental health month🦷🪥

Why is dental health important for cats?
-Dental problems can cause or be caused by other health problems. �
-Regular dental care can help your cat maintain a full set of teeth and a pain-free mouth. �
What can you do to help your cat’s dental health?

-Brush your cat’s teeth daily with a toothbrush and toothpaste made for pets

-Give your cat dental diets, chew treats, and chew toys

-Add water additives to your cat’s water

-Avoid giving your cat table scraps

-Take your cat to the vet for a dental check-up

Wilford can tell you firsthand how important a healthy mouth is😺🦷🪥

February is Spay and Neuter Awareness Month✂️
1 Mama Cat can become pregnant multiple times a year and even become pregnant while she’s nursing her previous litter🙀
That means that one unspayed female cat can have approximately 25 kittens in a single year!

The benefits of spaying and neutering cats-
Cats can become pregnant as early as four months old when they are still kittens themselves. The hardship of labor and life outdoors means a decreased likelihood of mom and her litter all surviving. The best way to keep your cat healthy and prevent unplanned litters is to spay and neuter, even if your pet spends most to all their time indoors.

Wilford Update 🩶
⚠️Caution last photo is graphic.

Wilford is back with us and doing well!!
He had a major dental surgery yesterday. Most of his teeth have been fractured off from living/surviving outside. It was a 2 1/2 hour surgery with 15 bits of teeth/roots removed.

Even though his teeth were probably broken off a long time ago some teeth had the pulp exposed, the Vet did think he was in pain and already feels better after surgery.

They also said they brushed off some scabs off his tail when he was asleep, which could be bothering him, so gave some ointment to treat that. Sounds like they had to cut some stuff off, but cats tails are too small to put sutures in, so it will heal on its own.

This poor guy has been through so much and he really deserves a good home! If anyone is interested in adopting him, please reach out to me or directly to Pause 4 Paws . I can’t thank them enough for helping Wilford with all his medical issues.

I will continue the Wilford fundraiser on my website to try to help P4P pay off some of the cost of everything he has needed. I don’t want to drain so much of their funds since they have so many other kitties and doggies in need.

Thank mew for all the love, support, and well wishes for Wilford😽♥️🐾

Part two of my yearly "Moo Gives Back" in-purrson donation.😺

This year I donated all the items that were purchased 🧶🌿📗🌈for donation to SNAP't Cat Rescue
(•Spay •Neuter •Action •Plan •Transportation) they are a Minnesota cat rescue with volunteers who strive to keep pets and their families together, whether through low-cost appointments, or providing supplies and transportation. They also offer fostering and adoptions!

The sweet lady, and her family who run SNAP't work tirelessly to save and help as many cats as they can. They even helped rescue a hoarding house situation this summer, with over 80 cats!

They are a newer organization, so I can't think of anywhere better to give all the toys and rainbow kickers, so they have all the fun toys available for their fosters and adoptable kitties and cats! The rainbow kickers that were donated mean SO much to me, I'm so proud to be able to honor and memorialize loved ones, whether they're still here, or have crossed the rainbow bridge🐾🌈, it's an honor for me!

Thank you to everyone who purrchased items to be donated, they will bring playtime and comfort to so many kitties that are awaiting their forever homes 😽😽😽♥️🐾

What better way to start the Moo Year!! I was busy this weekend with my yearly “Moo Gives Back” in-purrson donation.

I’m so happy to say, for the 3rd year in a row, I donated a portion of proceeds from sales to Pause 4 Paws . Not only are they a terrific animal fundraising organization that helps get money where it’s needed most, they also jumped in to help Wilford without hesitation. It hasn’t been a great year for my small business, but with the help of the fundraiser on my website for Wilford, combined with a portion of proceeds I was able to donate what I could, which will go towards paying vet bills for Wilford.

Without even knowing the full extent of what Wilford would need, Pause 4 Paws offered to help us get him to the vet, get neutered, dewormed, and vaccinated. Then we found out that he has severe dental issues, and is scheduled for oral surgery this Wednesday, all of which has and will cost thousands. To try to help them out more, I will continue my fundraiser for Wilford on my website. Any amount will help, and be very much appurreciated!

Wilford has come such a long way and he is such a loving, charming, cat. He deserves the very best! If anyone is interested in adopting him, please contact me or Pause 4 Paws to learn more. I would love if someone I knew adopted him.😺

Thank you to Jill, her family (who are the most caring, loving people) and all the wonderful fosters and volunteers at Pause 4 Paws for all the ameowzing work you do every day to help animals in need, and your willingness to help with Wilford, and other cats who have come to us!💜🐾

And most of all, thank you to YOU!!! All of my supporters! I couldn’t do anything without you! I hope you know how much this all means to me. Before I even started my little business, I knew one thing, I wanted to help other cats who were abandoned, like me.😽😽😽♥️🐾

I hope this Moo year is a better one, because when I do better, I can give more back!😺

I can’t wait for a kitty who’s waiting for their forever home to claim one of these for their own🌈🐾

It’s almost that time of year when we donate a portion of proceeds and toys to a shelter/rescue! 🐈‍⬛🐈

There’s still time to purchase donation toys! 🌿🧶

My purrsonal favorite is the rainbow🌈 kicker.
With a new pattern this year.
It means so much to me because when you purchase one you have the option to donate it “in honor of” or “in memory of” a kitty/animal or human, and we will put their name on the tag. Then it will go to a kitty that is waiting for their first forever home or second chance! 😻🌈🖤🐾
