Why We Call Them Community Cats 🐾

At Brookview Animal Wellness (BVA), we don’t call feral cats “feral.”
We call them community cats—because they belong to all of us.

Community cats are often unseen and underserved, yet they quietly exist alongside our neighborhoods, businesses, and homes. For many of them, the visit they make to BVA may be the only veterinary care they ever receive in their lifetime.

That’s why we treat every community cat with the same level of compassion, dignity, and medical care as any owned pet.

When community cats come through our doors, we look beyond the basics. We assess the whole cat—because this may be their one chance at relief, healing, and protection.

📊 In December alone, 25% of the community cats we saw received additional medical services at no extra cost, including:
Ear cleaning and treatment
Flea treatment
Wound care
Vaccines
Blood work

These aren’t “extras” to us—they’re acts of responsibility and humanity.

Community cats are resilient, but they still deserve comfort, health, and respect. We are honored to be part of a system that supports them, alongside the tireless TNR caregivers and rescue partners who advocate for cats that cannot advocate for themselves.

Because every cat matters.
And every chance at care matters even more. 💙

🐾 Paws for Purpose™ | Be Prepared, Just in Case 🐾

We truly hope you never need an urgent care or emergency veterinary hospital — but if you do, being prepared can make all the difference.

Just like in human medicine, urgent care and emergency (ER) veterinary hospitals handle different situations. Knowing which one is right for your pet before a crisis happens helps you act quickly and confidently when it matters most.

If you’re not nearby, we encourage you to take a few minutes today to:
✔️ Google urgent care and ER veterinary hospitals in your area
✔️ Understand what each one treats
✔️ Save their information in your phone

In a crisis, no one should be scrambling to search for options. Preparation isn’t about expecting the worst — it’s about protecting the ones we love. 💙

If you have been delaying veterinary care for your pet—this is your reminder.

We understand the need to delay a dental, diagnostics, or even a routine wellness visit. Life gets busy. Costs can feel overwhelming. But waiting often allows small issues to become much bigger problems.

At Brookview Animal Wellness, we are committed to making veterinary care accessible:
*Affordable pricing
*Flexible payment plans through Cherry, many with 0% interest
*Comprehensive care, from wellness visits to diagnostics and dental procedures

Your pet depends on you to advocate for their health. Let’s stop postponing care and start protecting their well-being.

Call today to schedule your pet’s appointment.

🐾 Making a Difference for Community Cats in Maricopa County 🐾

Save a Stray Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015 by Sue H. with a mission to reduce the overpopulation of stray and free-roaming cats throughout Maricopa County, Arizona.

Through education, advocacy, and action, Save a Stray focuses on the importance of spaying and neutering household pets and implementing humane, non-lethal cat management through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for community cats.

In 2025 alone, Save a Stray spayed and neutered 105 cats and helped place more than 50 cats into loving homes through rescue partners such as Saving One Life. The organization also operates a sanctuary that currently provides lifelong care for approximately 120 cats who were rescued from the streets due to chronic medical conditions or advanced age.

Beyond the sanctuary, Save a Stray cares for over 400 community cats that rely on daily food and water. This critical work would not be possible without volunteers.

👉 Call to Action:
Save a Stray Foundation is seeking volunteers who can spare 30 minutes to one hour to help with daily feeding routes. Your time directly impacts the health and survival of homeless cats in our community.

Together, we can do so much more—because it truly takes a village to help homeless cats.
🐱 Get involved. Volunteer. Make a difference.

🐾 Introducing Paws for Purpose™ 🐾
Education that creates impact.

Whether you’re a longtime client, a fellow animal advocate, or a pet parent who just found us — welcome.

Navigating pet wellness and medical care can feel overwhelming. There’s a lot of information, a lot of opinions, and often a lot of uncertainty. Our goal is to make it easier, clearer, and more compassionate for pet parents to care for the animals they love.

That’s why we created Paws for Purpose, an ongoing education series from Paws and Effect.

✨ Every week, we’ll share practical, judgment-free education about:

Pet wellness and prevention

Surgery and aftercare

Early warning signs

Responsible pet ownership

Making informed decisions before things become urgent

No pressure. No shame. Just information meant to support better outcomes and healthier lives.

We’ll also shine a light on the people behind the work — the rescues, volunteers, advocates, and quiet heroes who are making a real difference in the animal welfare world. Because progress doesn’t happen alone, and impact deserves recognition.

You don’t need to be a client to be part of this.
You just need to care about animals.

If something we share helps one pet feel better, one family feel more confident, or one person feel less alone in a hard decision — then it’s doing exactly what it’s meant to do.

Join us for Paws for Purpose.
Learn. Share. Make an impact. 🐾

As we step into a new year, we want to challenge our community to do something powerful: Support an animal rescue you’re passionate about. 🐾

Rescues run on compassion, sacrifice, and countless volunteer hours—often with little recognition and even fewer resources. They show up every single day for animals who have nowhere else to turn.

In the video linked here, you’ll hear from one of our own team members who volunteers with a local rescue and shares how PACC911 stepped in to help when it mattered most. This is what collaboration, heart, and community look like in action.

At Brookview Animal Wellness (BVA), we are incredibly thankful and humbled to partner with Valley rescues who work tirelessly behind the scenes. We are especially grateful to have played a small part in Bailey’s survival—a reminder of what’s possible when rescues, volunteers, and veterinary teams come together for an animal in need.

If you already have a rescue close to your heart, consider starting the year with a donation in their honor.

And if you’re not sure where to give, PACC911 is a wonderful option—supporting animals and the people who advocate for them when help is needed most.

Let’s make this a year of lifting up the helpers, the volunteers, and the rescues who give so much without expecting anything in return. 💙

This year at Brookview Animal Wellness, we felt both the weight and the wonder of growth.

Growth isn’t easy. It stretches you, challenges you, and asks more than you think you have to give. And yet, here we are — stronger, more capable, and more deeply committed than ever to the animals who need us most.

None of what we’ve accomplished would be possible without our extraordinary staff. Day after day, they show up with tired feet and full hearts, giving tirelessly of their time, skill, and compassion. They care deeply for every patient — whether that animal has a name, a home, or is simply passing through our hands on the way to a better future.

We are profoundly grateful for the incredible veterinarians we partner with, who bring not only medical expertise, but that special je ne sais quoi — the compassion, intuition, and humanity that transforms medicine into healing.

This year marked meaningful milestones for us — three years of surgery and one year of wellness care. With that growth, we’ve been able to expand services, add procedures, and reach more animals than ever before. Each new capability represents another life saved, another family supported, another second chance.

We are also deeply grateful for our partnerships with neighboring emergency and urgent care veterinary teams, ensuring pet parents have access to affordable, timely options and helping us meaningfully reduce economic euthanasia.

A special note of gratitude goes to Paul Joseph Klein, our visionary, proprietor, and founder, whose belief in accessible, compassionate veterinary care made Brookview Animal Wellness possible and continues to guide our growth with purpose and heart.

Growth comes with challenges. But it also comes with meaning.

Thank you to our staff, our veterinary partners, and our community for standing with us as we continue the hard, necessary, beautiful work of saving lives — one patient at a time. 🐾💙

Start the year off right by bringing in your precious pets for their yearly exams.

“They’ve always been healthy, so we haven’t really had a reason to go to the vet.”

We hear this often—and we understand where it comes from. When your pet is eating, playing, and acting normal, it feels like everything must be just fine.

But here’s the truth: pets are incredibly good at hiding illness.

Unlike people, they can’t tell us when something feels “off.” They don’t complain about headaches, sore teeth, fatigue, or subtle changes happening inside their bodies. Many medical issues—heart disease, kidney changes, dental disease—can quietly develop long before outward signs appear.

That’s why yearly wellness exams are so important, even for pets who seem perfectly healthy.

Just like annual physicals for people, wellness visits help us:

Establish a healthy baseline

Catch subtle changes early

Manage or prevent disease before it becomes painful or costly

Our goal at Brookview Animal Wellness (BVA) isn’t to look for problems—it’s to help your pet live their best, longest, most comfortable life.

This is the first post in our series on the silent signs pets can’t tell us about and why prevention truly is worth a pound of cure.

Don’t wait on your pet’s health.

The holidays are full of plans, travel, and to-do lists—but your pet’s health shouldn’t be something that gets pushed to “after the holidays.”

Pets don’t tell us when they feel sick.
They don’t Google symptoms or try home remedies.
By the time they show signs like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite, it can already be serious.

👉 Example:
When humans are vomiting, we can rest, hydrate, and try to make ourselves comfortable.
Your pet can’t do that. They rely on you—and your primary veterinarian—to find the cause and provide relief.

Owning a pet is like having a small child when it comes to medical care.
*They can’t ask to go to the vet.
*They can’t explain how they feel.
*We must be their voice.

If you’re traveling for the holidays and / or your pet hasn’t had a recent exam, now is the time. A wellness visit may catch something quietly developing before it turns into an emergency—saving stress, heartache, and rising costs.

🎁 Think of a wellness exam as a holiday gift for your pet.
If your budget includes $100 for a family member, caring for your pet family member with a vet exam is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give.

We’re here to help you keep your pets healthy, comfortable, and home for the holidays.
💙 Compassion. Comprehensive. Affordable.
