Cats and Critters Pet Sitting

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD - if you see these white things on an animal it is in trouble and needs immediate help!

These are fly eggs and will hatch in less than 24 hours. Once they do, maggots will wreak havoc on the poor animal they are attached to. Every animal we have received this week has had these.

Flies lay their eggs on animals they sense to be dying so their larva can feast on it. Because they tend to lay 150 at a time, it doesn’t take long for freshly hatched larva to cause severe damage to the host.

If you see these on an animal, don’t wait to call someone. They need help IMMEDIATELY. Please call your local wildlife rehabilitator.

This little gray squirrel came in with two of his siblings last night. All of them were covered in these eggs. Luckily none had hatched yet and we were able to get them all off. All are doing well today.

Let’s spread the word to prevent as much suffering as possible. Knowledge is power and the more we know the more we can help.

This guy needs a furever home too ❤️

"Hi There! My name was originally Tiger but the shelter staff have dubbed me Hooligan on account of my quirky personality. I am a 5 yr old male with a lot of love to share. I came to Cat Care Society from another shelter. At that shelter I was very scared because of all the barking dogs! Here at CCS I am a cool, confident dude who is looking for lots of love! I probably could live in a home with a dog - as long as its calm and quiet. I've been meeting some cats here and that seems to be going well, although I'd prefer to be the only one in the house! Mostly, I want to be where the action is, just in case you have extra pets to give me!"

This little girl needs a furever home ❤️

It's 5 o'clock Foster time! 🎉⁠
⁠
At 5:00 pm we'll feature one of our cats or kittens that are looking for their furrever home while waiting in foster. Some cats struggle being in a shelter environment so we send them to a loving foster home so we can get to know their wants and needs better! ⁠🥰
⁠
The hard part is that they sometimes don't get as much exposure to potential adopters as the cats at the rescue so we need help from social media to spread the word!⁠ ❤️

Meet Millie! This lady is 2 years old and is looking for her forever home!

Here is what her foster family has to say about her:

My name is Millie! I'm 2 years old and still looking for my forever home! When I first came to RMFR I was so scared. But, my foster mom says I've blossomed so much and have really come out of my shell! I love to hang out with my foster family and even chat with them with my cute little meow! My foster mom works from home and I really love having someone in the house with me. It helps me feel less lonely! I do well with other animals with a slow introduction and I enjoy children too! I am looking forward to finding my forever home!

Does Millie sound like the lady for you? Fill out an application to meet her today! 🐾
