Hiii! I see at least 10 of you have pets entered in the America’s Favorite Pet contest and I wanted to pass along a 🚨 warning 🚨 and info I learned about it.
I heard about it and entered Maurice, bc who doesn’t want that $10k prize!?! He was “accepted” (as are all pets entered). I then went to uncle Google to learn about others’ experiences with it. There are a LOT of Reddit posts about it, and they’re all in the “Scams” subreddit.
Feel free to do your own research but please do research before asking friends and family to spend their hard-earned money on something.
So here’s what my research told me on how the America’s Favorite Pet contest works: The contest starts and you get some votes. And then they notify you that your pet is in the top 5. What they don’t tell you is there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of “top fives.” So EVERYONE is in “the top five.” This causes the over half a million people who entered to think they’re each SO CLOSE to winning that $10k. And that’s when the contest reveals that you can PAY for votes to have them count double. So all these people start paying for votes and asking their friends and families to buy votes because they all think they’re so close to winning. This goes on for many weeks. The ultimate winner is the one who spends the most money on votes. And the woman who runs this contest walks away with MILLIONS every year. She’s been taken to court many times over these scams - she runs a bunch of them - a bodybuilder one, etc. She is a well-known scammer.
I hate to be the party pooper, bc I was excited about the contest too! But please don’t give this woman more money. You’re not actually in the top 5. ✨ Please donate that $10 or whatever you would have spent on votes to your local animal shelter or rescue instead ✨
Maurice will not be in the contest after learning all this but here’s a cute photo of him anyway 🥰
I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole animal welfare career for this article to be written 🥹 Thank you, Julie Castle 🧡
No-kill, TNVR, and finding common ground
🎶 Welcome to my house 🎶
✨NEW FOSTER KITTENS!✨
💞Please meet Dexter (buff & white) and Elle (torbie)💞! Dexter is 8 weeks old but too smol for neuter surgery and Elle is almost 7 weeks and just came in to the other day. They haven’t met yet because we want to ensure both are healthy first. But they’ll meet in about a week and be very adorable together! 🥰🎉
Ok so 2022 was the worst year of my life, seriously. And then 2023 was all about healing 😌. And hooray bc 2024 is great 😃! Busiest I’ve ever been but it’s all fun stuff! Feels so good to be back 😆🎉
Here are some photos of the boys also enjoying 2024 😺😺😺!
Thanks for sticking with us! I appreciate you! 🥰
All three boys nicely sharing the heating mat last night 🥹❤️❤️❤️ I can’t handle the cuteness!
You’ve heard of elf on a shelf but Maurice would like to know if you’ve heard of these!
⭐️ Woooowwww!!! We are all so humbled and excited over here! WHAT A DAY! Thank you so much to everyone that had a say in this, so so many people. We love and appreciate you all! ⭐️
Love Maurice and Samantha 🏆🎉

💜✨hi friends!✨💜
🚨 if you or someone you know would like to adopt Moonbeam and Starlight, please lmk asap! These babies are going to be on the news tonight! And once they are on tv I have a feeling lots of people will be calling the adoption center to adopt them because they are so beautiful and sweet!! So if you’d like to adopt them please lmk tonight! 🚨
⭐️And if you’d like to see them on the news they’ll be on FOX11 news at 10pm tonight, 10/12. Our part will probably be at 10:30 and then we’ll come back at the very end too!⭐️
💜For anyone interested in adopting, they are 2 months old, Chocolate Point Siamese, one male and one female, and they are PURE LOVE! They are located in Los Angeles and you must be able to come pick them up within the next few weeks 🥰

🎉 Please give a warm welcome to my new foster kittens, 🌙 Moonbeam & Starlight! 🌟 They are ✨m a g i c a l ✨ I’m completely head over heels for these babies and I can’t wait to share all their cuteness with you! 💖
Where did 🎀Barbie🎀 go, you ask? Well, when I brought Barbie in for her checkup last week, a friend/staff member needed a buddy for her singleton foster. So I gave her Barbie and took two bottle babies that were in the nursery! Everyone wins! Barbie is loving her new little BFF (who resembles her angel brother Ken 🥹), and her new foster mama is loving her 🥰
Barbie will be looking for a home soon, btw 🩷!!
💖 So excited to see Barbie tonight! 💖 Who’s seen both already? Jealous!
✨ Gotta go! 😺😺😺 ✨
thanks to for sharing this 😂 We don’t know who created it, but please lmk and I’ll credit!
Hi SoCal friends! Just wanted to share this adorable event being held tomorrow/Saturday 7/15 at . It’s 🧡📣KITTEN COLLEGE 📣🧡! And it’s free tuition for this special one-day summer session! Kitten Nursery and Foster staff (and me!) will be teaching a bunch of 10-min courses on all things kittens, and you can rotate thru the classes at your leisure 🧡 I’ll be teaching about how to tell what age kittens are and if they’re male vs female, so I’ll get to show off kitten teeth and butts all afternoon 😂
I’d love for this event to be a huge success so if you know anyone who loves kittens, send them our way! 🎓
Pls Lmk if you have questions 😺🎓📣
Xoxo Samantha 💖
📣 Maurice’s tail appreciation post 📣
👀 LOOK AT IT!!! 👀
That is all. Thank you for your time and kind words.
Have a great rest of your day,

💥 Fourth of July 💥 to me, working in animal rescue, means one thing: scared, lost pets 😿 (whee aren’t I fun 🥴) This is the weekend that the most pets go missing. So many of them get scared and run out the door, jump fences, dig under fences, and become lost and confused 😣.
🎆 LOS ANGELES 🎆 Please see/share the second slide to help us reunite pets with owners faster and keep them out of shelters. The shelters are already full 🥺 An influx of pets this Fourth means the ones already there waiting for homes will have to be killed for space. Please share this info to save lives!!
Also here are some Fourth of July-ish photos of Maurice, Packard, and my mom’s cat Q when he was my foster! ❤️🤍💙

🩷🩷 UPDATE: Pickle found a wonderful home! 🩷🩷 thank you to everyone that shared him! I appreciate you!
Hello everyone and welcome to PICKLE WEEK!!! All Pickle all day long til we find this precious little guy a home! 🩷🥰
I wish you could all meet him because all of you would want to adopt him 🥰 He’s that wonderful! He’s a happy-go-lucky little lap cat who purrs loudly and plays fetch! He ADORES other cats and would be a wonderful companion to a cat that needs a friend 🥹 He’s also a wonderful companion to me and everyone who visits 🥰🩷
Pickle is almost 3 months old and he’s located in Los Angeles. Message me to meet him! You’ll fall in love with him!! 🥹🩷
Gorgeous photos by 😍💜
PS Chip has an adopter 🎉 and she will have a young cat brother to play with 🥰
🩷 It’s time to find these two darling kittens a home, friends! 🩷 Pickle and Chip have been through so much and are now healthy and happy and gorgeous and ready for adoption 😺🎉😺 I cannot adequately express how precious they are 🥹. They’re pure love and happiness, and they’ll make you smile all day long 🥰. Pickle purrs the second anyone looks at him, and Chip has such a deep, meaningful love that brings me to tears 😭 She’s still smaller than Pickle but catching up quickly!
While I’d love for them to find a home together, they’re so friendly and well-adjusted that they’ll be fine separate too, with hopefully another young cat friend to play with!
Pickle and Chip are located in Los Angeles and available for adoption through 🧡 Message me to meet them!
And please share share share with your friends and followers to help them find a home 🥰 THANK YOU!!!
Today is/would have been Packard’s 9th birthday 🥹 I still get very emotional every time I think about him. It’s really hard to accept that he’s not here anymore. But I know that that happy boy would not want me to be sad 😺 And I know his spirit lives on in the memories (and in Maurice) ❤️! I wanted to share some photos of us together. Every time i picked him up he would kiss me and push his sweet little head into me and I miss that. He was the best. I love him so much 💔
Hi friends! Thank you all for following the healing journey of my foster, the extremely magical Lucky Noodle 😍💗 He was adopted last weekend by a wonderful friend of mine, , and he is already comfy and happy in his home with kitty and doggy buddies 🥰🎉 Honestly I wanted to keep him 😂 But I can’t keep ‘em all! But wow is he a special guy!
I will be posting updates in stories when I get em 🥰

Does anybody else have a favorite stripe on their stripey cat? I used clicker training to get Yohan to sit and then lay down so I could show you it. Positive reinforcement training is so much better than manhandling your cat (esp when getting important content like this 😄🤪🥸) Please enjoy my favorite stripe 🐯!
