This week, I got a call from some caring people in a neighborhood in Mount Vernon, where a cat showed up limping, so I took her to the vet yesterday. It didn't look like a new injury. Maybe a previous hit by car, but of course, it turns into something way more major and the sweet little 5 pound baby either needs orthopedic surgery or a backleg amputation. We're waiting for a consultation with Dr. Jimmy, an orthopedic veterinarian at COVE to see what he recommends. Of course, it'll be cheaper to amputate, but I'm gonna see what all of our options are because her patella (kneecap) is on the inside of her leg instead of on the front of her leg, so she can't extend it. She is estimated to be around 4 to 5 years old and I am looking to adopt her out so that she doesn't have to recover in one of my outside kennels, because that's all I have available right now. I will cover all her vet care. She is already spayed, she didn't have a microchip, I got her vaccines updated, and she's FIV/FELV negative. She is the most sweetest, petite little thing and the staff at Fredericktown vet said she was the best patient when they had to keep messing with the leg and taking x rays. Her name is Frannie.

Reminder for your outside cat shelters... DON'T use blankets in Rubbermaid containers or boxes. Even if they are under cover like your porch and won't get rained on. The moisture in the air/humidity can still make those blankets moist and then freeze. ONLY USE STRAW! I know it might not seem cozy but it dries out and doesn't retain moisture. If you need straw, I can give you some.

One of my favorite dogs right now at Knox County Ohio Dog Shelter ... Parrish! Obviously has not had a great life thus far but hoping with the right adopter that will change. She isn't on the adoption floor so you have to ask to see her.

Meet Fritz.
I loved all the name suggestions but I've actually used a lot of them before and so for vet records, I have to use original names.
Fritz is driving me crazy with his constant meowing. 🙉 He is hopefully getting neutered next week and then it's decision time... you see Fritz is used to being an outdoor cat with freedom and doesn't like bothering with those stinky litterboxes so I don't think anyone wants him to be indoors. That means he either has to go to a barn home where he gets fed and shelter or I release him back to the business parking lot he came from. OF COURSE I want him to find a loving place to go but I also have so many cats waiting and TNR is all about fixing and returning to where he came from as long as he has shelter & is getting fed which he is. I know people will freak out but there's just soooooo many cats and not enough homes. That's why spaying & neutering is soooo important!

**COVERED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!💘

Captain Hook (the tree cat) is doing great. I decided to get him further testing to make sure his Feline Leukemia diagnosis is not a False Positive. That test is $200 which is a lot for a single test. Because he got so much attention and his diagnosis illicited so much dialogue, I'm hoping his fans can help pay for this PCR test. Even if its just $5. You can call into Fredericktown vet directly (740) 694-5926 to make a contribution or my Venmo is (all lower case and you can bypass my last 4 digits) or PayPal is ShadyOwlRanch. If/when it's covered, I will let you know. Cap & I appreciate you! 😍

*They are all spoken for but hopefully getting more styrofoam coolers this weekend. Ill take any Omaha Steaks, food or medical delivery boxes. Just not the small boxes. They need to be pretty big.

The cold weather is coming in FAST and I'm making cat shelters for strays & outdoor kitties as fast as I can. I have several ready now and can leave them at my gate if you want them before the freezing temperatures tomorrow. Or come pick up one at the adoption event Saturday morning running concurrently with the Holiday Farmers Market. 2 max per person right now. I'm sorry I just don't have time to deliver this year.
A $5 donation if you can which helps me cover the duct tape, straw and cat nip. DM me if you want one.

We wanted to keep our amazing followers up to date with what’s been going on. As giving Tuesday is around the corner, we wanted to tally up what has happened in just October and November...

Today alone, 15 feral cats were spayed and neutered 😻 Of these cats, one needed a tail amputation due to an injury, and another has been limping for quite some time. This is probably the only time these cats will get vet care in their entire lives!

In the month of October, we fixed 55 cats! In November we took a little bit of a break and only squeezed in 51 cats 😉 We cannot do this work without all of your support!

So if you have a few dollars to spare, it will help us continue this work of preventing unwanted kittens and improving the lives of feral cats in the community!

Pictured below, the lucky 15 this morning, tucked nice and cozy in their traps!

Tis the season for injured strays... Just got one in last night that might have gotten hit by a car and trying to trap another that was dumped at a farm with a horrible leg injury. I've gotten 2 more calls on injured cats but I don't have any room right now. Working on getting these 2 into the vet first.

Well our ladies have decided that they are done for the season. I thought with the warm weather they would lay longer but they said they are tired. I understand. So no more eggs for the winter. So sorry.

We have soooo many puppy mills in Ohio and there's actually no shame in it because people don't care and proudly buy from them anyway. Its gross. We have legislators that continue to protect them. We have pet stores like Petland who continue to sell sick mill dogs. We even have in this town cars that drive around promoting their puppy "business". Let me give you a secret... any website that has "puppy" in the name, is most likely a mill. People say they're outraged but then go and buy a "hyperallergenic" doodle and tell me they "rescued" it.
