Happy Tails 4 You

11/29/2025

I was crazy business on Thursday so I did t get to post. I’m so thankful for every one of my clients for the business I’ve built. I’m also thankful for all the people who have shared my information with their friends and family! On Thursday I got to spend Thanksgiving with not only my family but so many fur babies. Thank you everyone for trusting me with your pets.

Update: 11/21 our amazing volunteer dug him out of a gopher hole, assisted by the fantastic resident!!! Bones is now safe at the emergency vet❤️‍🩹 He is a young guy with the will to live for sure so we are desperately hoping his leg can be amputated. Talking to several folks in the neighborhood, he's been like this for a least a few days now. And from the smell we know he has necrotic tissue 🥺 Please send every ounce of healing energy to Bones, he needs it💜 And please continue to donate. We'll fight for him as long as he tells us he wants to live💪

Update: 11/21 8:15 am
We were not able to get him last night despite volunteers staying as close to the property as legally allowed hoping he would pop out of the backyard. BUT we just got a call and he's under the porch of another person allowing us on his property so volunteers are headed there now 🤞🤞🤞

‼️ Emergency‼️
We're going to do something we never do. We hardly ever post for emergency vet care to raise funds and we NEVER do before we actually have the cat secured in our care. However, this is an extreme case. We have volunteers on site try to safely get a SEVERELY injured cat in Martinsburg, WV. I will post his picture without markups in the comment but with a TRIGGER WARNING. DO NOT GO TO THE COMMENTS IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE IT.

We know his location but are having trouble getting homeowners to agree to let us come onto the property to help him. Volunteers have a trap set nearby and are on standby waiting for an opportunity to get him.

We have already called Valley Veterinary Emergency & Referral Center in anticipation of being able to safely get him and they are expecting him. He will all need extensive emergency care, including a minimum a full leg amputation. We are going to post a fundraiser for him now in hopes that we get him very very soon. If for some reason we are not able to capture him, which would absolutely devastate us, the funds raised in this post will go toward our outstanding bill at the ER. We just want to be sure you know your donations will not be wasted no matter what happens. If you're able to help please do.

I just want to give a shout out to all my clients! This past week I had to close to help my mom with her surgery! All my clients were understanding and supportive. Now I’m back to my business today and so many pets were happy to see me! I was so happy to get all the kisses and snuggles! Thank you everyone for your continued support.

Yesterday I was told that a client had to make the hard decision to let one of her horses go. Abby had a tumor that developed and after a while grew and was causing her discomfort. Abby was part of one of the horse herds that I watch. She was so gentle and sweet to everyone including my girls even when they were younger. She was even gentle when my hubby watched them. She was more like a big dog for me. She would follow me around and lean on me. She always was the last one in from the field, the first one to search for cookies in my pockets. We all will miss her.

When you are 10mins early to feed this cutie dinner and he’s standing on his front porch like an upset parent watching you come home after curfew. I feel like I’m in so much trouble!

So it’s been a while since I’ve done welcome posts. Lol. That’s life! So here we go!

So this kitten is really new he and his brother (who has passed away two years ago) have been clients for 3yrs. His brother was more social. But since then he has come out more to get love (with some treat payments). Say hello to Gizmo!

A few months ago this little pup came into the community and into my heart. Meet Lucky! He is still getting use to the spare humans. He loves his mom however. We are past the barking and trying the be a bad you know what towards me (he weighs a whole 6lbs). I only get kisses if mom is around but we still have a great visit! Welcome to the family my little Lucky.
