Celebrate 5 years, 5 months agoI\’ve domesticated 1 of my feral colony cats!-
Maggie, I would say you have not only domesticated this kitty – it’s on it’s way to being spoiled :-)…How nice for the cat, and of you for caring for these poor feral cats. I am interested in hearing about what you are doing…please share your stories, and Thank You!

Celebrate 5 years, 5 months agoWell I lost 2 females to a pack of vicious starving dogs. They didn\’t have a chance. These are my babies and I love them so much. It\’s daddy Pox, Lil Boy, and Min-Min. They are my life. Pox is 3 years old and Lil Boy and Min-Min are a year and a month old on the 20th of this month. -

Celebrate 5 years, 5 months agoThis is my beautiful kitty Sophie. She is 15 yrs. old and I love her so much
-
Well alright, Sophie! You are one cool cat, girl. Love your colors, and your ‘catitude :-)… Is she a “Torty” or Calico? My Squirt looked like her but with really long hair. Thank you, Lynn, for sharing with us and please, tell us more about Sophie. Just love this picture. Toni
-
Sophie is a Torty and a polydactyl (mitten kitty) and a rescued barn kitty found while I was exploring the back roads in Indiana on a camping trip.
-
I enlarged the picture and see her paws. Yep – she’s a cutie alright. I would love to see more pictures of Sophie – she is a really cool cat and I want to know her better. Will you give her a purr and pet from me, please?
-
Lynn. How are you and Sophie?
-
We are fine. We have 2 other kitties also and rescued another dog.
-
How wonderful of you to bring these loves into your home and heart. Please continue to share their stories with us, and if you see a story here that touches you, reach out with a supporting hand.

Celebrate 5 years, 5 months agoThis is Poppy. She is my rescue from October. She’s a sweet girl but very skittish. She was found on the streets of Philadelphia. She is taking a while to adjust but, I hoping we can have a wonderful life together.❤️🐈⬛-
Awwww Cathy. Thank you for rescuing this baby. Your awesome
-
Cathy, I said earlier that she is adjusting to a new environment, and new everything, but I didn’t see the picture until just now. Oh my, she looks so much like my girl – it’s amazing. I brought mine home four years ago to Foster her back to health and we fell in love, and I formally adopted her, and she is doing okay. She will have her 17th birthday March 13th – maybe we can all celebrate together – but my point is, she was so sick, and so scared, it took her awhile to embrace me. I bet Poppy will be a very dear, sweet, loving friend to you, Cathy. Will she let you gently blow on her fur? Murmur purrs while you do that? I think it’s comforting and maybe reminds them of being a kitten and their mother’s presence. Let us know if you try that, and how Poppy responds.
-
Thank you for your encouragement and kind words. I’m always ready for a furbaby birthday celebration. I worked at a 24 hour Veterinary Hospital and we celebrated birthdays all the time for the hospital cats. I rescued Licorice from there. She was the only female house cat and needed a home. I would come through a door and she’d come running to me. That’s the kind of bond we had. So I took her home. Thank you again.
-
Oh Cathy – my old girl has been to our 24 hour hospital a number of times the past six months. Twice I thought she was going to die, but we are treating her. She suddenly went blind and it was sky-high blood pressure. With the medicine, her retinas reattached and she is seeing again. I’ve had lots of pets and had never heard of that. If you want to, would you help our community members with your thoughts and insights about ailments? I appreciate and admire the work and help you gave to pets and their parents. And, no kidding, Licorice looks very, very much like my girl. I look forward to following along with you both, and again, if you have tips to share with others, that would be really nice of you. Toni

I’m so happy to hear positive outcomes. That is wonderful news that she regained her sight. I would be more than happy to give my insight on certain issues. Please be aware I am not DVM but have seen a lot over my 20 years in the business that I may be able to help. My input to the majority of the people I spoke to was that a peace of mind and gut instinct is always the best recourse. If you pick up the phone to call a 24 hour emergency service you should follow your instinct and let them know you are coming over. Always best to call a 24 hour hospital before coming over. It could be 2:00 in the morning and there are 15 patients in the waiting room. Animals are triage by seriousness of the emergency. Not all 24 hour hospitals are fully staffed like they are during the day. So be prepared to wait unless your pet is in critical condition. If you are lucky enough to have a University near by see if they have a 24 hour service. They are always highly staffed. But, please remember if you feel your pet needs emergency care never hesitate to go to the ER. Your pet will be seen by a Vet tech to make sure they are stable. If not, ER personnel will go into full veterinary care. Just some in’s and out’s of the ER care in Veterinary Medicine.

Cathy, thank you for your insights and tips. I called my 24 hour ER a few weeks ago on a Sunday (lots of blood in her stool, which we are treating) and then thought maybe I was being silly since it’s a known progressive inflammatory disease and almost didn’t take her. Glad I did. We were there 2 1/2 hours and they increased her dosages. You are right – they are very busy and since we can’t go in with them, I suggest bringing a book to read while you wait outside. Any time you can share your thoughts, it’s much appreciated. Wendy lost her beloved Snuggles to a bad reaction to insulin and I asked her if there were symptoms of diabetes. We can all learn and benefit from our shared experiences. Toni

Cathy, How are you and Poppy doing now? Is she “thawing out” and warming up to you? Is she feeling more comfortable? I would really like to see more pictures of her since she looks so much like my darling girl….

Celebrate 5 years, 6 months agoOur Cookie sitting with Buddy. They were best friends. Cookie was always cleaning Buddy’s ears, licking the tumor in his throat a sniffing around his chest (where the cancer had spread to. Cookie doesn’t know what to do now. We’ve tried everything the vet suggested and then some. We will probably end up getting another beagle for her (and us).-
Let me rephrase….Buddy had a tumor on the side of his neck and it protruded quite a bit. Cookie would lick Buddy’s neck and even scratch at it with her teeth as they will when trying to chew at fleas.
-
I’m so sorry about Buddy, and Cookie. And you…. Animals can detect medical issues, often before we know about them. Another friend for Cookie, and you, is probably a good thing. You’ll never “replace” Buddy of course, but it is so nice to take in another friend. Please let us know if you do and how you are all doing.

Celebrate 5 years, 6 months agoMy sweet Domino passed away December 5th 2020-
Chelsea, Is this photo made to look like Domino is glowing? He does – he looks like beautiful light is surrounding him. What a sweet face. I suspect you are in pain still, since it has been such a short while. How are you coming along? What can we do to help you ? Thank you so much for sharing Domino with us. Toni

My Mitzi who turned 16 on 12/24/20💕🐾

Now THAT’s a great Christmas gift! She looks much younger than sixteen. Where’s her party hat :-)?…She’s very pretty. What breed/s is she? I swear she is smiling in this picture-a glamour girl. We’d love to see more. Thank you for giving me a smile. Toni
-
She’s a Pomeranian 😊 that picture was taken several months before her birthday. She had just come from the groomers 😊
-
Ah ha – yes, I think we all look like glamour girls after we’ve been groomed :-)…..She’s adorable. Do Pomeranians have special dietary needs or personality traits?
-
Personalities are amazing♥️♥️
-
We all have our own, don’t we? She is a Princess for sure.

Celebrate 5 years, 6 months agoOur baby Andy just turned 15 today 02/05/21. We have enjoyed 14 of those wonderful years with him. He was a rescue from the Plaino, TX. Animal shelter and our friend picked him up for us. He was so dehydrated and emaciated, I took him to the vet the net day and he only weighed 3½. The vet was worried about him, they gave him his shot and the deformed just in case and told me to bring him in a month if he made it. We\’re the proudest parents because he fought and made it and now he dances everyday. I think he think has to make it his mission have us laugh for some reason or or another every day. We would love him any way we could have him but, we\’re so happy we have him the way he is. His beothers love him too and are protective of him.-
Andy is so adorable! He has the cutest face. I’m very glad you adopted him and saved his life. You are an angel.
-
Andy is a hero – a fighter who brings you love, joy and man, he dances too! I’m a fan of not just Andy, but you for caring for him and sharing your loving home (and dance floor). Love to see him dancing….Toni
