🥵☀️🔥♨️
As it has been below average temperatures with lots of rain here in Minnesota, I’m a little late with this as surrounding states have been under extreme heat advisories for several weeks.

If it’s hot outside for you, it’s even hotter for your pet. If you don’t have to let them outside during extreme heat, don’t!

If you do have to let them out, limit the time outside, and make sure there’s plenty of cold water 🧊💦available, and add ice cubes in very hot temps. Place water dishes in shaded areas, not only for your pet, but for outdoor critters as well🦆🐿️🐰

Make sure there’s a shaded 🌳🌳🌳area for your pet to be in while outside. Dog houses do not provide relief, in fact, they are even hotter inside them than outside!

Avoid hot surfaces like asphalt, that can burn your pets paws🐾.

Leave your pet at home if you need to go out and about. NEVER leave your pet in the car🚗. Even with a cracked window, temperatures🌡️ in the car can exceed 110° within minutes of being in the sun.
If you see an animal in a car, in hot weather, please call the police, it can save a life.

know and look for signs of heat exhaustion and let’s all have a safe and cool summer 🕶️😽🖤🐾

🙀I forgot to tell Chompy that it’s shark week🦈😹

Happy Shark Week!🎉🦈
Even though it’s only 1 week per year, we should be celebrating sharks all year! In this house, we love sharks, not only because it’s part of my last name😻, but because they are so important as they are an essential part of the ocean ecosystem. As an apex predator, they keep our oceans in balance, without sharks, the whole ecosystem would fall apart.

Sharks are one of the last prehistoric creatures on earth, but the finning trade is dwindling their numbers rapidly! If you live near an ocean, or a costal state/country, look up to see if there’s a local finning ban you can support!

Happy 4th of July to all my American 🇺🇸 furriends! Hope you all get hotdog flavored treats!🌭😻

And for the pawrents, remember, fireworks 💥💥💥are loud and scary🙀! So keep us inside today (and every day unless supurrvised), and be extra careful not to let us sneak out!

Giving us some catnip 🌿🌿🌿 before fireworks🎆 can help distract and calm us down💤💤💤

Have fun and stay safe out there!♥️🤍💙😽

Happy Caturday!😺
The day started off cold and rainy, for the Walk for Animals. Meow was sad she didn’t get to go this year due to the weather, but the Meowdi went, and had all our stuffed stunt doubles in it. (Meow did get to go for a test drive yesterday when the weather was nicer)!

This year was extra special and an honor, as they were walked in memory of my grandpaw, who was always a huge support and always sponsored Meowmy in her fundraising efforts for the walk and also in memory of my good furriend , who sadly crossed the rainbow bridge this spring🐾🌈♥️

Together, my staff was able to raise and donate $2,000 for the (Animal Humane Society)!The Walk for Animals is such an amazing event. Not just a fundraiser, but a community event that brings out the best in hoomans! I heard there were snakes, ferrets, bunnies, cats, 12 day old kittens, a hedgehog and lots of dogs! 🐶🐱🐰🦔🐍
thank you to everyone and all the volunteers at the Animal Humane Society who make this event pawssible😽♥️🐾

Hi furriends, I’m sorry I haven’t been around in so long!
As many of you may know, my Meowmy had to abruptly stop social media to concentrate on my grandpaw. He was very sick and Meowmy wanted to focus on being there for him. I’m so glad I got to visit him in the hospital, lie on the bed with him and get lots of pets! Sadly, grandpaw passed after battling so many different illnesses, as he was always such a fighter, could get through anything, and always recovered. Grandpaw was always so proud of me and my business.
He was one of my testers for my catnip tea🌿☕️, which makes me even more proud that featured it on their menu for the month of March/April.
He was also always a big supporter of Meowmy for the , Walk for Animals, which she will be pawticipating in again this Caturday, May 4th! And will be walking in honor of grandpaw aka Coconut🥥

Cat Dad did the best he could with orders and emails during my time I needed to focus on healing purrs.

Meowmy and I have been busy refurbishing cat towers and scratchers. (Every other year our city offers a spring cleanup, so meowmy and cat-dad went around and collected a bunch of gently used towers and scratchers, then meowmy cleaned them up, washed them, fixed the rope or fabric, then sold them to get new use in a new home, and all proceeds of selling them is going towards the Walk for Animals)!

My parwents were also invited back for the fourth year in a row to to support where proceeds of all beer 🍻sales were donated to !😻

Thank you furriends for checking in on us and all the love and support you gave! 😽😽😽😽
Meowmy and I will be back little by little.

It’s hard to get back to life, but with all of your love and support, it makes it a little easier😽♥️🐾

😻As another year comes to an end🗓️, it’s time to celebrate with furriends and family! But let’s all be mindful of the hidden dangers for us felines.
Many cities have fireworks or other loud celebrations...those can scare us quite a bit! Speaking of loud, sudden outbursts of noise makers can really startle a sleeping kitty. If you plan to have a celebration, please make sure your furry furriends are somewhere else in the house, or have access to hiding spots. It’s also helpful to give us some catnip🌿 if we’re nervous or scared. Eating catnip vs sniffing it has calming effects, and will make us be feel nice and relaxed!
✨Wishing you all a safe, happy and healthy Moo year!
🎉🪩🌿🕛😽♥️🐾

MOO GIVES BACK😻
I was so honored to once again be able to do an in-purrson donation to ! My staff and I were able to give them all the toys, catnip and rainbow kickers that were purchased for donation, plus a monetary gift!

We got to spend time with the founder of the organization (to know her is to love her, she has the biggest heart♥️Her love and devotion for animals is incredible, and what she does every day to help as many animals as she can), her mother, and a volunteer, they’re so ameowzing! I made sure to clean my best 👅 tuxedo 🎩this morning for this!

is a fundraising organization that gets food, litter, supplies, and money to animals who need it most! Not only that, but they also connect with fosters and shelters to get animals prepared for their forever home, and get the vet care they need!

If it weren’t for Pause 4 Paws, we wouldn’t have personally been able to get Chompy the help he needed. They stepped up immediately to get him to the vet, get neutered, and vaccinated as soon as possible!

All the rainbow 🌈kickers will be distributed to fosters and shelters who need cat toys! Each one comes with a tag on it “in memory of” or “in honor of” a loved one, passed or present. These are so special to me, and I can’t thank you all enough for helping us all remember those we’ve lost, their legacy will continue by helping another pet in need!♥️♥️♥️

I hope to be able to continue this tradition, and hope to be able to give back to organizations outside of Minnesota. Thank you ALL again for helping me be able to give back and help so many others!

Purrparing for my yearly, in-purrson “Moo Gives Back” donation to Pause 4 Paws

These rainbow kickers are very special to me! And going on the second year of donating them.
I wanted a toy people could donate in honor of, or in memory of an animal or person special to them.

I want to take a moment and share all the names of the beloved kitties/hoomans that are being remembered, and honored.♥️

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

Thank you to everyone who has purchased one to be donated! I know how special every kitty is♥️🐾

😻It’s that time of year again where we give back!
As you may know, Big Moo’s Catnip gives back a portion of proceeds at the end of every year. Normally, we like to select a different shelter/rescue/organization each year.
Because of their willingness to help with Chompy, no questions asked, drop of a hat, getting him vetted, vaccinated, neutered, and saving his ear from being clipped!!

We chose the wonderful organization Pause 4 Paws again, for their overwhelming care of animals, and quick response, which got Chompy (who we rescued from outside a couple weeks ago) everything he needed in short order. I’m so proud to have been a sponsor for them this year, and will be again next year!

Pause 4 Paws does such ameowzing work with cats and dogs. They partner with fosters, shelters, and rescues to get pets the medical care they need, and get them into loving homes.

We will also be donating all of our donation items that were purchased throughout the year on my website to P4P. That includes catnip, wool play balls, feather wands, and special rainbow🌈 kickers that can be donated in memory, or an honor of a beloved person or pet. There is still time to purchase donation items on my website and there’s always next year.

I couldn’t do all this great work without all of my ameowzing furriends and followers! If not for you all, I couldn’t get the word out, couldn’t help, couldn’t give back anything! Thank mew so much to all of you....you truly make a huge difference in the lives of animals, and I’m proud to know and love all of you!

Future goals - I would love to be able to give back to different shelters/rescues in other states and to spreed the love and help that is so needed!

Thank mew and Meowy Pawlidays to all😽♥️🐾

If anyone is interested in helping P4P more, I’m having a fundraiser until the end of the year. Please see my website for more detail.

Please make your voice heard and take the survey to help millions of feral cats not be killed!

This plan to kill millions of feral cats makes me sick!
I couldn’t even watch the video. As a lover of all animals, I would never want any animal to become extinct, but this is no way to fix the problem!
Please read about these horrible death boxes that they named “Felixers” 😾
I took the survey, and here were my answers.

Update 🐈‍⬛
It’s been just a little over a week now since we caught this guy. My pawrents gave him the name Chomp/Chompy (Chomp Chomp, Mr. Chomp). Because he takes big chomps of food and also his ear looks like it was chomped on from living outside. Look at him being spoiled, wish I was hand fed. Did I mention he's a polydactyl and has six claws🐾🔪😻
the wonderful animal organization that I’ve been working with for the past couple years and a proud sponsor of this year helped him get a vet appointment yesterday. Blood test, f***l test, deworming, and a microchip. The vet thought he was mildly spicy 🌶️and thought he was doing really good for just having him a week and thinks he could adjust given some time.
We asked the vet since everything came back negative if it was safe for him to come in the house and stay in a room separated from us and she said yes. So he is now upstairs in a room.
Future steps will be neutering, vaccines, and fostering. P4P found him a foster for the day after Catstmas, hopefully my pawrents don’t get too attached but I think it’s already too late!😻😽🖤🐾

I always say, if you see something, do something, It’s important to me that I not only try to share helpful tips and encourage helping stray and feral cats, but that I also purractice what I preach.

This kitty has been roaming our neighborhood all summer, at all hours of the day and night. My meowmy has been trying to catch him for quite a while, and finally did late last week!

This little panther was super afraid of hoomans at first, but has slowly warmed up to meowmy and cat dad in just a couple of days. Not aggressive at all, but certainly didn’t trust the hoomans, now letting them pet him, give cheek scratches, and even eating out of their hand without issue.

He is not fixed😾 and not microchipped, we are in contact with an animal rescue who will help with vetting and finding a foster. This guy deserves a better life than what he was dealt and will now.😽🖤🐾
