🎄 PLEASE SHARE OUR FUNDRAISER! 🎄

This is one of the largest and most important fundraisers we hold for For Pets, and every dollar raised goes toward helping community animals in need with spay/neuter services and vaccinations. ❤️🐾

We are also looking for donations of Christmas items that can be reused or repurposed to decorate our beautiful holiday evergreen pots. If you have any Christmas decorations or items you no longer need, please message me!

🌲 We are also looking for evergreen and pine branches! If you have trees or shrubs that need trimming, we would love to take those branches off your hands.

Your donations, support, and willingness to share our event mean so much to us and to the animals we help.

Thank you in advance for supporting For Pets. We hope to see you at our festive holiday event! 🎄❤️🐾

❤️ A Little Update on Crash & Pepper! 🐾

Just in! We received a lovely update from Crash and Pepper’s new parents and family, and these two are loving their new home! Just look at the pictures they sent us. ❤️

Every pet that comes through our doors at For Pets leaves a little piece of their history in our hearts. We may help them along their journey, but we never forget them. We always hope and wish for the very best as they begin their new lives with their forever families.

Crash and Pepper, may your days be filled with love, happiness, and lots of playtime together. Thank you to your wonderful new family for giving us an update!

Once a For Pets kitty, always a part of our hearts. ❤️🐾

💚🐾 Tiny, Now Ebony, Has Found His Forever Home! 🐾💚

It’s always hard to say goodbye, but our hearts are so happy knowing that Tiny has found his person!

Tiny has been at PetSmart for a while, patiently waiting for that special someone to come along and see just how wonderful he is. And now, he has found her! 💕

We are told that all Ebony wants to do is sit on his new mama’s lap and be by her side. That is the Tiny we know and love! He has so much love to give, and we know he is going to thrive in his new home.

Sometimes, the wait is worth it because the right person comes along at just the right time. 🏡❤️

We wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, and lap time, Tiny — now Ebony! You will always hold a special place in our hearts. Please keep us updated on your new adventures!

Happy tails, sweet boy! 🐾💚

🎄🎅 **Is it too early to hang our Christmas stockings?** 🎅🎄

Bailey and Bixby seem to think it’s never too early to start making their Christmas wishes! ❤️🐾

These two adorable tuxedo girls look like they’re getting ready to hang their stockings by the fireplace, hoping Santa will find their biggest wish of all… **a forever home where they can stay together!** 🏡💕

Bailey and her daughter, Bixby, are hoping for a Christmas miracle—a family who will open their hearts and home to BOTH of them. They have so much love to give and would love nothing more than to spend Christmas (and every Christmas after!) with a family of their very own. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Okay, girls, it might be a *little* early for stockings… but it’s NEVER too early to wish for a forever home! 🎁❤️

🎄 **Could you make Bailey and Bixby’s Christmas wish come true?** Please share to help these sweet girls find their happily-ever-after TOGETHER! 💕 https://www.petfinder.com/cat/bailey-and-bixby-a06199d4-89fe-4541-be18-1008583307b9/mn/mankato/for-pets-mn222/details/

A RECORD-SETTING DAY FOR FOR PETS! 🐾

Last Thursday was an incredible day for For Pets, a nonprofit dedicated to helping community animals in need of spay and neuter services!

🎉 48 community cats were spayed or neutered in ONE DAY! 🎉

These community cats (ferals) were transported to two wonderful low-cost veterinary clinics: Rescued Pets Are Wonderful in Columbus and Hawk Creek Animal Hospital in Willmar, Minnesota. Also a thank you to PPR for grants that really make a difference.

📸 Below is a picture of just ONE of the two vehicles that headed in separate directions to get these cats the care they needed.

An accomplishment like this takes a tremendous amount of planning and a team of amazing volunteers. From scheduling appointments, fosters caring for the animals as they are trapped and housed till clinic and driving to transporting cats to and from the clinics, every person plays an important role.

Just think about it: 48 cats will no longer be adding unwanted kittens to an already overwhelming population of homeless animals. ❤️🐱

For Pets could not accomplish this without the incredible support of our community, including:

🐾 Our dedicated trappers and clinic volunteers
🐾 The people who help clean and maintain feeding areas
🐾 Those who provide food and care for community cats
🐾 Our amazing schedulers, drivers, and transporters
🐾 And our generous donors and dear friends of For Pets

Every single person makes a difference. Together, we are creating healthier lives for community cats and helping prevent countless unwanted litters.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE! ❤️

To everyone who helped make this record-setting day possible, THANK YOU! We are so grateful for your time, compassion, generosity, and commitment to these animals.

🐾 48 cats. One incredible team. A whole lot of love.

It’s all about spaying and neutering animals in need! ❤️
