We know that the loss of a fur-family-member is painful. Grief can be overwhelming especially for young people who are still learning to process their emotions. "Healing Your Heart" is a 32 page workbook designed to help children through their grieving process and open up communication with caring adults in their lives.

For the children in your life, the "Healing Your Heart" workbook is a wonderful gift in preparation for the inevitable loss associated with pets. While designed for children ages 4-10, we believe that teens and adults can also benefit from this workbook.

Creamsicle is unusual. When we visit the veterinarian, most of our cats try to stay hidden in their carriers. Creamy is out in the open just exploring and relaxing in the exam room.

We said 'Good-Bye' to our sweet Chica this past week. Thank you to Jill Scapelliti and Feral Kitty Trappers TNR & Rescue for ensuring that Chica made her way to Smokey Acres.

We said farewell to Shurik yesterday. He has joined over 50 Smokey Acres friends on the other side of the rainbow. We'll miss him but, we know that he is in good company. 🥰

Pigs are flying today. Fred and Tessa have been non-friendly for a very long time. Not sure what happened today but, we'll take it!
