Tickle-Toe Acres is honored to introduce our esteemed and celebrated sanctuary resident, Dr. Simon Bartholomew. After obtaining his PhD in Feline Philosophy, Dr. Simon retired at the young age of 15 and pursued his hobbies. When he isn't flexing his skills as a Grand Master chess champion or practicing his elite Parkour moves, he attends tasting events where he has quickly become a highly sought after critic. We were able to capture Dr. Simon at a recent tasting event where, as the photos reveal, he highly approved of the entree set before him. In a brief interview, Dr. Simon stated the following, "I find the Fancy Feast Gems to be full of flavor and highly appetizing. 10/10 would recommend." Thank you, Greater Good Charities and Purina Fancy Feast, for the Fancy Feast Gems! Dr. Simon Bartholomew and the other 29 kitties appreciate you!

We recently received a great donation from Purina through the Greater Good Charities. Here is what Shauna from Tickle-Toe Acres wrote about it:
Just before the cold of winter began, a stray momma kitty appeared at Tickle-Toe Acres. We don't know where she came from, the struggles she faced, or the name of the angel that lead her to us. What we DID know was she was in active labor and was, without a doubt, very ill. Sweet momma kitty allowed us to bring her into the rescue, aid in the delivery of her babies and shortly thereafter passed away. It is in her honor we are raising her sons, Stanford and Princeton. These two Ivy League gentlemen are full of energy, curiosity and SO much love! They are a true treasure here at our rescue and have been able to make friends with even the grumpiest kitty here! Every moment spent with these little fur balls is special for so many reasons. Princeton and Stanford are elated with Purina's donation of wet kitty food and lil' gravies (hence the high-five and smiling face). The generosity of Purina is heart-warming and allows our rescue to nourish those in our care. Thank you, Purina!

Yay for Greater Good Charities and Chewy ! We were the lucky recipient of hundreds of these beds that we spread out to so many rescues across the state! You guys are awesome!

From one of our great recipient groups:

Mutt Misfits Animal Rescue focuses on saving pets with medical or special needs, so it means a little bit extra for a rescue pet to have a safe, comfy place to call their own as they recover and heal.

Whether underdoing heartworm treatment or recovering from a surgery, it's important for a pet to have a safe, warm place that is all theirs, that they can retreat to as they acclimate to a new environment and don't feel their best. We are so thankful for the GOODS program and their partners, like Chewy, who provided these incredible beds for our rescue pets! So many of our pets come to us from tough situations or scared from being in a shelter and their mental and emotional well-being is just as important as their physical needs and these beds will make such a difference in their journey! Our van was packed completely full of these amazing dog beds and we are just so, so grateful.

Former Misfit Fiona tested out the beds for her bigger rescue friends. She gives them 5 stars - would nap on!

Fiona is a great example of what we're all about. She was surrendered to the Oklahoma City shelter in terrible pain as puppy after being attacked by another dog and experiencing a gruesome broken jaw. The shelter isn't equipped to handle needs like hers and we quickly stepped in to get her the care she needed. She underwent immediate surgery to repair her injury. She spent days being hospitalized and at times we thought she may not make it. Most of her lower jaw wasn't able to be saved and she spent months healing in her foster home. We are happy to report that she healed beautifully and has never let her injury slow her down! She was adopted into a great family and lives a happy, healthy life as a normal doggo (who definitely thinks she is bigger than she is, but don't tell her that).
