🐾Samara's Journey: A Story of Trust, Transformation, and a Forever Home 🐾
Happy Friday!! In lieu of our Feature Friday post, we want to share a heartwarming adoption story. Samara came to us last October. She had been limping around outside an apartment complex for about 10 days. A concerned couple borrowed a live trap to safely secure her and brought her to us. We became completely horrified when we learned that someone had badly hurt both of her front paws severely by what appears to be an at-home botched declaw. She was covered in fleas and had a flea allergy, which caused her to lose most of her fur. On top of that, she was diagnosed with FIP, which is 100% fatal if not treated, and she was extremely scared. She completed her 84 day treatment for FIP and was ready for her forever home, and boy did she hit the jackpot.! The photo on the left is Samara (now Sissy) chilling out on the couch and the two photos on the right were her intake photos. We couldn't be happier for this sweet girl ❤️

The harsh reality is that there are so many Samara's out there - waiting in silence and hoping for someone to see them. Samara is one of the lucky ones. We wanted to show you the incredible transformation that can take place with patience and love for these animals. As we are heading into an adoption event at Petsmart this weekend, please consider adopting a rescue kitty that needs you! Every rescue cat has a story. All they need is someone to help them write a new chapter. If you’re thinking about adopting—do it. You might just save a life… and fill your own heart in the process!

We are so happy for you, sweet girl 🥰🐾

🐾 Kitty adoptions this Saturday and Sunday from 12p-5p at Petsmart Saginaw🐱💕
Now that the 4th of July hustle has quieted down, it’s the purr-fect time to welcome a new feline friend into your home! We have several adorable kitties ready to find their forever homes💖

Thinking about adopting after the holidays? Here are a few quick tips:

🧘‍♀️ Create a calm space – After all the noise and guests, your new cat will appreciate a quiet corner to settle in.
🐾 Stick to a routine – Cats love consistency, so start building a daily rhythm from day one.
💞 Give them time – New smells, new people, new home—it’s a lot! Let them adjust at their own pace.

These are just a few of our wonderful kitties that are available for adoption. Please note: Quinlan, Daffodil, and Sir will not be at the adoption event this weekend. Not every kitty is ready to strut their stuff at adoption events—and that’s okay. Some of our sweetest souls are a little shy, a little quiet, and a whole lot of love just waiting to bloom in the right home. 🌸

Come out and see us this weekend and ask us about any of the kitties that aren't at Petsmart, and we will be glad to tell you about them. You can can also fill out an application at www.humanesocietyofsaginawcounty.org.

🐾 Can’t adopt? Help us spread the word!
👉 SHARE this post and help these sweet cats find their forever homes!

Hope to see you this weekend!

WARNING!
🔥🐶 TOO HOT TO TROT! 🐱☀️
The temps are going to be getting up to dangerous levels this next week!

As temperatures soar, it's crucial to keep our furry friends safe and cool. Here are some essential tips to protect your pets during extreme heat:

🚗 Hot cars kill – Even a few minutes in a parked car can be deadly. Leave pets at home when running errands! Any animals sitting in vehicles in this heat need to be reported ASAP!

💦 Hydration is everything – Make sure your pets have access to fresh, cool water at all times. Please make sure to put water out where you can for any strays outside. Even some wildlife will enjoy a cool drink!

🌳 Shade is their best friend – If your pet is outside, give them a shady spot to chill. Make sure any chained, outside dogs have water and access to shade! They can't get off the chain to find shade!

🐾 Pavement check! – If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. Limit outdoor time and walk early or late when it’s cooler.

😓 Watch for heatstroke – Heavy panting, drooling, weakness, or vomiting? Get them to a cool place and call your vet ASAP.

💡 Pro tip: Freeze treats or toys in water for a fun, cooling snack!

🥵 Don't forget about your human friends and neighbors. Make sure to check on them if they don't have air conditioning.

❤ If you see any signs of distress from any animal or human, please take action and report to proper authorities!

Stay safe and watch out for others, both animal and human! 💙🐾

We didn't get one application on Angel, so she is our Feature Friday girl again today 🐾❤. Angel is around 2 years old and is the sweetest girl with the softest fur. Angel is searching for a special someone with a big heart and a peaceful home. She may take a little time to come out of her shell, but once she trusts you, she will reward you with quiet companionship, soft purrs, and a whole lot of love. She will thrive in a calm environment and would do best as the only pet in the home, no other cats or dogs. She's not one for the spotlight, but she's got a heart of gold and is just patiently waiting for the right person to see it. If you believe in second chances and have room in your heart for a gentle companion, Angel would love to meet you. Please share this post and let's help Angel find the loving forever home she deserves. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Angel, please fill out an application at www.humanesocietyofsaginawcounty.org.

Good morning friends! Spike wanted to remind you that today is our big fundraiser at Tommy's Express Car Wash on State Street in Saginaw from 9a-4p. Come out and get dad's car washed for Fathers Day, while raising money for the animals of Saginaw County. We will have a tent there and will be accepting donations! Hope to see you there! 🐾

Good morning friends! Sweet little Spike is taking a nap this morning because he couldn't sleep last night. He couldn't stop thinking about our fundraiser tomorrow, Saturday June 14th at Tommy's Express Car Wash on State Street in Saginaw. Come out from 9a-4p and get your car washed, and a portion of each wash will be donated to us. Spike wants us to be able to save more kitties like himself, so he's hoping you will come out to support us. Dad would probably appreciate a clean car for Fathers Day! We will have a tent set up there and will also be taking donations. Our most needed items are:

1) Tidy Cats or Arm and Hammer Unscented Clumping Cat Litter
2) Fancy Fest Pate Canned Food
3) Purina One Sensitive Skin and Stomach Dry Food in the blue bag

We will also be taking returnable cans and bottles there, as this is an important lifeline for us. We can't save anymore kitties until we can pay down our vet bills, so tomorrow is an important day! Please share this post and let's see what we can do for the animals of Saginaw County. ❤🐾

Here is our Chewy link, which will allow for supplies to be sent directly to the main foster home: https://www.chewy.com/g/the-humane-society-of-saginaw-county-inc_b71716803?fbclid=IwY2xjawK5EHxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFXY0gyMFFBRkdJUWV1WUh6AR6fz4xy3Tzl7T8chv0sVFnc32IVnieuJKoskBkLSV8V9tW06tDlX-vnGSn15g_aem_oOTMz5xkTTu6Ni534dPBIA
