Starlight Outreach and Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit animal rescue, founded & led by a female veteran. Starlight Outreach and Rescue (S.O.A.R.)

is a 501(c)3 non-profit animal rescue that started with a small group of volunteers who wanted to support the efforts of Houston-area shelters to provide a better quality of life for stray and abandoned animals, medical attention beyond the scope/capabilities of the facilities, and fostering and rescue services for animals with special needs. The organization is named in honor of Emma Starlight Hyde who was just 14 years old when she passed away unexpectedly in October 2017. Emma and her mom Shelley, with the support of their family, volunteered at shelter events, such as the annual Shelter Dog Birthday Party, and fostered baby kittens to ensure they received proper socialization and feeding during the weaning period. Emma put in a lot of time and effort to get her kittens used to interaction with and handling by people, which helped ensured all her fosters were highly adoptable by the time they returned to the shelter and were put up for adoption.

Emma’s bright and caring spirit continues on in this organization, lighting the way for stray and abandoned pets to find their way to their forever homes.

Ever make a decision about your pet, feel good about it for about five minutes, and then start wondering if you should call another vet, Google one more thing, or ask someone else what THEY would do?

Here's a reminder: Not every decision has to be permanent, and not every decision has to cause you stress and anxiety.

In this clip from the latest episode of The Pet Parent Hotline, psychologist Dr. Alicia del Prado shares a simple way to give yourself permission to stop second-guessing and see how things play out.

Because being a responsible pet parent doesn't mean questioning every decision you've already made.

Whoopsie Daisy is one lucky little girl! 🐱 She was found all alone with no mom in sight by one of Starlight Outreach & Rescue’s amazing foster families. She quickly made herself at home and is showing everyone what a sweet, playful, and social kitten she is. 💕
Whoopsie Daisy had a bit of a rough start—she was found with a botfly larva burrowed in her neck/chest area. Thankfully, she received the care she needed and has completely healed. ❤️‍🩹 Now she’s busy doing what kittens do best: playing, exploring, and soaking up all the love she can get! 🐾
Her foster family has a wonderful track record of producing some of the sweetest and most social kittens, and Whoopsie Daisy is no exception. She is friendly, playful, and will soon be ready to find a family who will love her for a lifetime. 🥰
Whoopsie Daisy has been around school-age children and cats. She is litterbox trained, up to date on her kitten vaccines, wormed, and she will be microchipped and spayed as part of her adoption. 🐾
If you are interested in giving Whoopsie Daisy a loving home, please fill out our no-obligation adoption form here: bit.ly/starlightadopt and an adoption counselor will be in touch.

🎧 Need something to listen to on your morning walk, the school drop-off, or your commute to work?

Yesterday's episode of The Pet Parent Hotline is a good one to take along!

Ever Googled one little thing about your pet and ended up worrying about ten things you weren't even concerned about before? 😬

I sat down with psychologist Dr. Alicia del Prado to talk about why pet parents get caught up in worrying, Googling, and second-guessing themselves, and how to break the cycle without feeling like you're being careless about your pet's health or happiness.

If you've ever wished you could just relax and enjoy your pets instead of worrying whether you're doing everything right, this conversation is for you.

💗 Today we remember Emma Starlight Hyde, who passed away at just 14 years old on October 25, 2017. Her love for animals inspired the name Starlight Outreach & Rescue, which was born on that same day in her honor. 🌟

We hold Emma’s family close in our thoughts and send them love as they remember their beautiful girl. 💕

Forever in our hearts, Emma. 🕊️🌟

In Emma’s memory, we invite you to make a donation to help animals in need. Our outreach efforts are currently supporting dedicated local trappers with spaying and neutering community cats to help reduce the number of homeless cats in our area. Every donation helps make a difference. 🐾💗
