Be Aware of Holiday Hazards🎄
Christmas Trees & Decor: Poinsettias, mistletoe, holly, and lilies are toxic to cats once ingested, but did you know Christmas trees are toxic to cats, too? A curious cat who licks up pine needles or tree water can even land you in an emergency veterinary clinic. The tree's decor (ribbons, string, tinsel, wired lights, and ornaments) are tempting for cats looking to eat or play.
Menorahs: One of the most popular traditions for Hanukkah is the lighting of the menorah for eight nights. For humans, it is a meaningful symbol of the holiday. For cats, it's "eight chances to burn the house down." In the Catster article, Observing Hanukkah Safety With Your Cats, they suggest closing your cats in a room while candles or oil lamps are lit, and never leaving a lit candle unattended.
As always when dealing with new people or new decorations, make sure your cats have a room of their own to retire to if the celebration is too overwhelming.

💖 Meet Tootsie. This dainty black/white tuxedo girl, weighing only 6.5 lbs, has been waiting since 10/31/25 in a local crowded shelter for someone to adopt or rescue her. Happily, she doesn't have to wait any longer as she'll be arriving in our care tomorrow. Tootsie is very affectionate and happy to cuddle with you. She is comfortable being held and will purr with content. Her petite size makes her purrfect for apartment living. While she may take a little time to get used to a new place, once she feels safe she'll be your loyal companion. Please spread the word and help us find her a home for the holidays.
