Mew Haven Cat Rescue is in DESPERATE NEED of foster homes!

Do you have a spare bedroom or home office you could share with a kitty or two?

All cat food and cat litter is provided for each kitty.
New cat litter boxes, litter scoops and food dishes are also provided. Including any personal items the kitty has such as toys, cat beds/blankets, cat carriers, cat scratch posts, cat trees etc.
All Veterinary Expenses are paid for by Mew Haven for each foster kitty you have. Kitties are up to date on Vaccines, spayed or neutered and they are microchipped to our rescue.

Some of our long time foster moms and dads are “aging out” due to age, health issues etc. and we are in desperate need of new foster moms and dads to help carry on our mission of rescuing kitties in need and providing a loving in-home foster home environment until the kitties are ready for adoption. Is that you possibly?

Are you retired, semi-retired or working from home?

Do you have previous experience in caring for cats or kittens?

Would you like some companionship of a kitty or two?

Can you provide a loving and nurturing foster home environment?

If you answered yes to the above questions, please contact us for more information! Call, text, Facebook message us or email us - we would love to hear from you!

MYTH: Cats Should Drink Milk 🥛🐈❌

The idea that adult cats should drink milk is simply a myth. They may like it, but it’s not good for them. The only milk very young kittens should drink is their mother’s. If motherless, they can be given a commercial kitten formula or follow a recipe for a nutritionally complete homemade milk replacement formula.

Read today’s free pet health article on our new website (link in the comments) to learn more about why kittens and adult cats shouldn’t drink cow’s milk.

This little girl has waited WAYYYYY to long! Can you, or someone you know would be a loving home for her, step up?

Maryland – A cat surrendered over six years ago has not received a single adoption application. As reported by Newsweek, Hera’s owner surrendered her to the Chesapeake Feline Association in June 2017 and she has been overlooked ever since. The shelter manager tells Newsweek: “Despite her gentl...

Just a friendly FYI to our local Spring Green residents, tonight at 8:30 pm an adult Red Fox was spotted in a backyard sniffing around and looking for food, the house is just past the highschool on N. Wood St. These urban living Red Foxes have been previously spotted this past year in Spring Green by the swimming pool park and St. Johns Church, also spotted on Hoxie St., Monroe St. and Lexington St. Please keep your cats/kittens inside and keep an eye on your dogs/puppies when you let them out to go potty to keep them safe from any possible harm. Foxes primarily hunt rodents, rabbits, squirrels, birds and any similar small prey under 5 pounds, please don't take a chance with your beloved pets leaving them outside unattended. Please spread the word to your neighbors to help keep their pets safe from harm.

I am very sad to tell you all that Mew Haven is very close to closing. Since 2007 (!) we have taken care of community cats, helped folks who could not pay for spays & neuters of their own cats, responded to calls for help finding homes for cat in colonies, brought cat food every month to Food Pantry for folks who needed our help to feed their cats. We have gone out in dreadful weather to rescue a cat or kittens no matter rain or snow.

We have saved so many! And so many have homes because of us.
But it may all be over soon. We are very close to running out of the funds that keep us going. The vet bills never cease but the donations that are our lifeline have disappeared.

We really need your help!

PLEASE!!!! Bang on your hood and sound the horn then listen for any noise under your hood, before starting your car this winter....you may have a passenger under the hood trying to keep warm, and they can be seriously injured or killed when the car starts up....

When you go to the veterinarian’s office, never put the carrier on the floor. Cats like being high up and feeling more secure. Place the carrier on a bench, chair, table, or even on your lap will help to reduce stress during the visit. Learn more tips like this at https://bit.ly/3ry6tWP.

Sharing from Jen Whitaker's post

The results demonstrated:

47% of pet parents were unaware that the role of the credentialed veterinary nurse/technician consists of performing medical tasks and procedures

73%, understood the veterinary technician role involved cleaning cages, removing animal waste, feeding or grooming pets (responsibilities typically performed by less experienced and non-credentialed staff)

63% percent of pet owners did not know credentialed veterinary nurses and technicians are the animal healthcare equivalent of registered nurses

20% of respondents mistakenly thought that veterinary nurses/technicians have less than 2 years of higher education. Plus, they are unaware of the national exam needed to achieve a license or the requirements for continued education to maintain that license.

Many respondents reported misbeliefs regarding technicians' roles, responsibilities, education, and skills.
