It's that spooky season! 👻 Time for pumpkin spice, falling leaves, and of course, adorable pet photos in costumes. But before you snap that perfect pic, let's play a game of FACT or FICTION! 🧐

FICTION: "If it fits around their body, it's fine!"
FACT: A costume should never restrict natural movement. Can they walk, run, sit, and bark normally? Do the "bunny hop" = a big red flag! 🚩

FICTION: "A little mask or hood won't hurt!"
FACT: Anything that covers the eyes, ears, or muzzle can cause major stress, limit vision, and even interfere with breathing. Keep those precious senses clear! 👀

FICTION: "They'll just get used to the feeling!"
FACT: Forcing a pet who is clearly stressed into a costume is more than just a bummer—it can be dangerous. Always prioritize their comfort over the 'gram.

Knowing the difference is the key to a fun and SAFE holiday for your furry goblin. A safe costume is a cute costume! What's your pet going to be for Halloween? Share their costume ideas (or past photos!) in the comments, and tell us one safety tip you'll remember this year! 🐕🎃🐈

Meet Patty — from TNR to TLC 💫 Coming Soon

Patty’s story began in a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) project in Thermal, where Desert Paws volunteers were helping care for a colony of community cats. She was supposed to be spayed and returned, but fate had other plans.

After her surgery, Patty developed an eye infection, so she stayed with her foster, Diana, to recover. That’s when her sweet, affectionate, and playful personality began to shine.

Despite her rough start outdoors, Patty instantly loved people, purring, snuggling, and showing off her kitten energy. Diana knew this girl was meant for more than life on the streets and said, “Let’s keep her and give her a second chance.”

Patty rocks her ear tip like the fearless little survivor she is, proof that love can change everything.

✨ Adopt Patty, and give her the love she’s been waiting for!

🐾 Jack’s Journey: From the Fields to a Fresh Start 🧡

Jack’s story begins out in the Coachella Valley agricultural fields, in the middle of nowhere. A kind worker spotted this small orange-and-white kitten all alone among the rows, no mom, no littermates, just Jack. Based on where he was found, it’s possible he had been dumped, but we’ll never know for sure.

The worker who found him reached out for help, and even though we didn’t have a foster available right away, she kindly agreed to keep Jack safe until he was old enough for his neuter appointment.

When Jack was ready, one of our Desert Paws board members went to pick him up and scheduled his exam and neuter surgery. He had his procedure last week and did well! Now, he’s ready for the next chapter.

Jack is a loving, gentle, and playful kitten. He adores attention and will happily cuddle up for pets or chase toys around the room. He’s a beautiful orange-and-white kitten who will fit right in with a loving family, and he’d do great in a home with other cats, too. 💛

Jack’s:
• Age: Almost 4 months
• Neutered: Yes
• Dewormed: Yes
• Tested: SNAP test completed
• Microchipped: Yes
• Vaccinations: Received first set of vaccines

FOSTER FOUND!! 🚨🆘️ Emergency foster or foster to adopt plea. This is Tilly. She's about 2 years old, under 10 pounds, Shih Tzu mix. She came to us from the infamous trailer park in Thermal. She's a wonderful, sweet dog. She loves to be held, doing great on the leash and with potty training.

She needs to be spayed - and we will do that. She is UTD on vaccines. The emergency is that Tilly and my mom's dog do NOT get along at all. It's not Tilly's fault. Tilly gets along and plays well with every other dog at my house.

Please share as I'm in the middle of moving and there is too much chaos to keep them separate. We will provide food and anything else needed while fostering.
