Easter Safety Tips

Here are some tips to keep our four legged friends safe over the Easter Holiday. Enjoy!

1)Avoid plastic Easter grass in your Easter Basket and decorations. Both dogs and cats can play with the grass and accidentally swallow it. This can cause an intestinal blockage.
2)No Lillies for kitties. Easter lilies are highly toxic to cats, and cause many feline deaths each year. Keep lilies out of reach!
3)Keep your Easter chocolates away from dogs. Many dogs like to eat chocolate, but it is toxic to them. Hide your candy!
4)Avoid feeding your pets too many people food treats. This can cause serious problems for both dogs and cats.
5)Enjoy the holiday with your friends and family, both two and four legged.

Look at this beautiful kitten! He was found on a vacant lot in Providence, eating trash. After getting some medical care, and learning to trust people, he is now loving life in his new home. A happy ending!

This little bean came through our doors yesterday morning for a check-up. Not sure of the entire story, but I do know animal control is looking into the matter of possible other siblings.

She is a bit emaciated and dehydrated. She cries and cries if no interaction. It's that sort of screaming cry that makes you want to cry. 😭Luckily one of our adoption partners had a mom and litter her age! She immediately curled up to mama and the kittens accepted her as one of their own.🥰 She has also stopped crying! Yahoo!🎉

Kitten season is here. It never left. It's not going anywhere. Please spay and neuter your pets. Unfortunately in our state, like many others, it's hard to come by affordable spay and neuter appointments. Also, all appointments seem to be booked out until the end of the summer. 😳 It's just awful. If you are aware of any affordable clinics or spay/neuter resources, please post them below for our community!⬇️

The life of a feral intact Tom cat. Abscesses on both side of face. Scars all over his body. Our hearts just break. 💔 No more testosterone for you buddy. ✂️
