I noticed hot spots on my 15.5 year old Dolly yesterday, so it was off to for an urgent care appointment. She's never had issues, and there haven't been any changes in her life recently, so the reason for these spots is a mystery. No fleas and was recently dewormed (precautionary) so that's not it. No diet change. No changes to her environment. We decided to treat her topically so she'll be in a cone until she's healed, and then we'll go from there.

Happy Tails, Meatball! This sweet boy went to a home with a dog and cat and a family that will give him plenty of attention. So happy for him.

Meatball has finally been listed for adoption and this pic is one of the few I included in his profile. It's getting him some attention since a lot of people want a cat who's good with dogs. This boy has come a long way from the dirty, sick, emaciated boy he started as. I'm really excited to see where he ends up. Any interested adopters please apply with

I just talked to the vet and as I suspected, Meatball has chronic inflammation that's causing a sneeze hear and there and a little snot 🤧 He will always be this way, but it's not infectious and is harmless. He's MUCH better than he was before his dental and his vet was happy with how everything healed. Now this boy is ready to be listed for adoption😁 Thanks .vet for taking care of this sweet boy.

Everyone asks how Dee gets along with the cats, and this picture says it all. A few of them are scared of her but she's nothing besides super sweet and gentle.

Dolly's still a bit high after her dental🤣. She only needed one tooth pulled, but it was in rough shape so I'm sure she'll be happier and pain free without it. did her dental and told me she spent half the day sleeping in one of the tech's laps. Love that❤️

Dental surgeries are pretty expensive. I usually have nonprofit vet clinics to do them. The two I've used in the Philly area are Bridge Clinic () and Dutton Road (). If your cat needs a dental and you've been putting it off for financial reasons, both Bridge and Dutton do consults for a small fee, so it might be worth scheduling with one of them.

Excuse my face and hair - it's early. Miss Dolly has a dental today. She has some pretty bad tooth resorption so she'll be getting at least two teeth pulled. I'm a little nervous for her to go under bc she's 15.5 years old. Kinda looks like a kitten in this pic tho.

Rusty has been with me for 2.5 years and is now 14.5 years old. He has officially entered his Grumpy Man Era and I'm here for it. He enjoys curling up and taking naps, looking out the window, and Temptations. He doesn't enjoy more than two pets, any other foster cat, and dogs🤣 He's a special boy.

Thank for taking care of my clowder while I was gone. It was such a relief to know they were all well taken care of so I could enjoy much needed time away. Michelle sent pics and updates every time she visited. And she didn't just feed them and leave - she spent time with them. Thank you for the recommendation ❤️

Rusty had a check up today and his exam went great. His weight is stable. We're waiting for some blood work to come back and if all is well, our senior boy reeeeally needs a dental.

Barb Training: Last week we worked on getting her to take steps toward me and get closer to me. I know this doesn't look like much but it's huge for her. She's been pressed against the wall in a tight ball for a few weeks. The day after this video, she moved from hiding behind the recliner to laying onto the recliner. Soooooo proud of her. We have a loooooooong road to go and I still don't know what she went through to make her this fearful.

Today we worked on Barb standing up confidently and taking steps. Yes, mild setback near the end of the video but I wanted you to see it bc that's part of the process. It's important to remember that and not get discouraged. Patience and persistence are the keys to changing behavior (for humans and animals). What do you think Ginny Hahn ?

Training Barb: This terrified tripod needs a lot of work. Ginny Hahn saved her from life on the streets, but she's not quite adoptable yet. I videoed a training session and my followers on IG enjoyed it so I wanted to share it here! The idea is not to reinforce the fear, so she only gets a treat when she's calm and quiet. I started with clicker training her to accept pets, but now am just using the word "pets" when I pet her. As the training continues, I increase the number of pets. When you are training, you always want to reward the positive, not punish the negative. I'm not punishing her for growling, but I am rewarding her for being calm and accepting pets. Spitting is a form of defensive aggression and she doesn't swat or try to bite, so I know I'm safe in these situations, which is why I'm okay allowing her to lick my hand. She doesn't want to engage, she wants me to go away. (Do not put your hand in a cat's face if you aren't sure of your safety. I've been working with Barb for weeks so there is experience behind all of this.) Barb doesn't have a rescue yet. She has already been vetted but I know a rescue will likely want to vet her again themselves, and she's just not handlable right now. A vet visit would also set her back. Once she's a little more accepting of contact, I hope to find a rescue to help her find a home.
