Hi Friends ♡

Lately, personal and professional life have been extremely busy for me. Since January, my full-time job has required increased travel every month, with no end in sight :( Life with a very active and wild toddler is also keeping me on my toes ;)

With that being said, it's getting harder and harder for me to manage all things rescue. I am the only "behind the scenes" person coordinating all that comes with running a rescue (email, texts, calls, FB msgs, coordinating vet Apts, taking to vet apts, adoption applications, TNR, marketing, trapping, supply intake/organizing, plus kittens here in quarantine).

I'm at the point where the only way forward is to find additional resources to help with the rescue. My heart and soul is for TNR - that's what started this rescue in the first place - and that's candidly the greatest need.

I am looking for one to two volunteers interested in helping with TNR (trap, Neuter and return).

- Ideal volunteer would be retired as weekday TNR Apts are easiest to get/manage. Not a deal breaker though - we can secure Saturday Apts.
- Would be taking community cats to/from the TNR clinic in Camp Hill. Cats would be in secure carriers.
- would help with pick up and drop off to/from colonies
- biggest need is truly someone to handle taking cats to/from clinic for me (8am drop off, usually afternoon pickup) as I can't make this work with my full time schedule and childcare
- these cats can be smelly....grumpy...and vocal so I want to be up front that it's not cuddling and transporting cute kittens ;)

We have a NEVERENDING waitlist for TNR services and it's what honestly causes me the most anxiety/heartbreak because it's where o want to make the most impact but cant....

Having one to two volunteers to help me with this would allow us to make a bigger impact for community cats resulting in fewer requests for kittens in need of placement.

If you're interested, PM me and we can chat ♡

Our new kitty is here ~ Meet Olympian Fig “Figgy”
Olympian Fig is a 3 year old female kitty. She came in very pregnant from a very bad situation and ended up with three little babies that she absolutely adored. Figgy is a great cat mother! From ordering them around to making sure they’re clean, she does seem to tell us what to do also… Like any mother, she loves a good massage and loves to be held. Olympian Fig was brought to TCHS by the Humane Officer in very bad condition, with a whole clan of cats. Figgy is very vocal and super sweet. She does well with the other cats in her room. She is spayed and current on vaccinations and preventatives.

Adoption Fee: $85.00
The adoption fee covers - spaying & neutering, disease testing, all vaccinations (FVRCP + LVK and Rabies), all food, and flea/tick/heartworm prevention.

Please bring a carrier for your new cat when coming to adopt. Cats must leave the building safely within a carrier.

You MUST have an approved adoption application from the Tuscarawas County Humane Society to adopt a cat. Ask a Petz Place employee for a paper application or fill out an application at: www.tuschumanesociety.com

Has been at TCHS since February 28, 2025
Has been at Petz Place since June 11, 2025

You might have heard the phrase “shop local” thrown around when referring to local businesses, but do you know what the impact of that phrase really means? As your local neighborhood pet supply store, we understand our immense responsibility to support our community and are committed to the growth and prosperity of the areas we serve. We know you have choices when it comes to your pet shopping, so here’s a run-down of what happens when you actually “shop local.”

1. More of your money will be kept in your local economy
For every $100 you spend at locally owned businesses, $68 will stay in the community. What happens when you spend that same $100 at a larger chain? Only $43 stays in the community.*

2. You embrace what makes your community unique
Local businesses tailor their products and approach to their customer base in that community, so you can bet your basic needs will be met in a more personal way. You might find that more community specific items are being stocked in your local pet store than any chain store could provide.

3. You create local jobs
Shopping at local businesses creates more local jobs than shopping at major chain or online companies. That means by buying local, you help create jobs for your friends and neighbors, contribute to improved public infrastructure, and invest in your community both socially and economically.*

4. You help the environment
Shopping at a local business conserves energy and resources in the form of less fuel for transportation and less packaging for shipping.

5. You nurture community
Local business owners know you, and you know them. Studies have shown that local businesses donate to community causes at more than twice the rate of chains. Local business owners invest in the community because they have a vested interest in the future of the community.

6. You conserve your tax dollars
Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money available to beautify your community. Also, spending locally instead of online ensures that your sales taxes are reinvested where they belong - in YOUR community!

7. You create more choices
Locally owned businesses pick the items and products they sell based on what they know you like and want. Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because they buy for their own individual markets. A marketplace of hundreds of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long term.

8. You take advantage of their expertise
You are their friends and neighbors, and locally owned businesses have a vested interest in knowing how to serve you. They’re passionate about what they do. Why not take advantage of it?

9. You invest in entrepreneurship
Creativity and entrepreneurship are what the American economy is founded upon. Nurturing local business ensures a strong community. Local economic growth will attract new talent and professionals, who may, in turn, create businesses of their own, enhancing a local economy.

10. You receive better customer service
When shopping at local businesses you’re seen as an individual not a consumer statistic. The rapport that is built between small businesses and the customer is often long standing and the service received is generally better when you are familiar with the staff. Because they have a smaller consumer base, local businesses have the advantage of tailoring their sales strategies to the local customer and community rather than having to stick with nationwide marketing plans.

Petz Place is your ONLY local family owned and operated pet store that has served Tuscarawas County and beyond since 2002, and we look forward to serving you for years to come. Nothing is more important than your complete satisfaction. We have a reputation in our community for going the extra mile to connect pets and pet owners with the right supplies to meet their individual needs. Our 23rd Anniversary Sale is June 13th & 14th, 2025 ~ we hope to see you there!
