Cat House Palooza

Last week, we sprang into trapping mode to rescue a handsome tom cat who got himself into a rather sticky situation - a roll of tape stuck around his neck like a makeshift bow tie. Because we thought he was feral, we quickly set up traps. After 48 hours, he finally surrendered and much to our surprise, this "feral" boy rolled over for belly rubs, allowing them to safely remove the tape roll and thankfully it hadnt been on long enough to cause him any injury. Named Don Juan due to his extremely loving nature, DJ was recently neutered at NWA Community Cat Project and will soon be available for adoption at one of our events ♥. Info on the event soon!

We have had several cases of babies with bot fly infestations.

Cuterebra larvae are often referred to as “warbles” or “wolf worms and are typically the parasites of rodents and rabbits; however, they may find their way into our furry feline friends. Most cases of cuterebriasis in North America are reported June through October in the eastern United States and Ontario, Canada. The typical manifestation of a bot infestation is a seeping, cutaneous nodule (furuncular lesion) that may be mistaken for an abscess.

Baker arrived as a tiny bottle baby, but his spirit was mighty. As I opened the incubator to feed him, he instinctively began kneading with his paws, showcasing his innate ability to thrive. This natural reflex, learned from kneading his mother's milk, was his way of signaling hunger. Soon, he'll undergo his big boy surgery, but for now, he remains my little bottle boy, full of life ♥
