October is bat month!🦇
Shoutout to Steph, who works tirelessly at the PA Bat Rescue. Her amazing work keeps our only flying mammal brothers alive and well. Bats are important pollinators – we would not have bananas, mangoes, agave, or avocados without them. AND our fuzzy bat friends take on one of our least favorite enemies – mosquitoes! For more information about what Steph does or to find out how you can support her work, please visit Pennsylvania Bat Conservation and Rehabilitation at: https//pabatrescue.org

Conservation. Education. Rehabilitation.

Dr. Catherine Parks is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and has been helping pets and their people since 1992. She established Catnip Veterinary Care in order to provide a more personalized level of care within the comfort of a pet’s own home. Her services evolved as she realized the unique need that exists for helping dogs and cats in their final chapter of life. Catnip Veterinary Care now exclusively assists with in-the-home euthanasia and comfort care.
Dr. Parks has a gentle, caring nature and believes that keeping your elderly or debilitated pet companion in their own home for their healthcare needs, plays an important role in maintaining a high quality of life. And when the time comes to part ways and say the last goodbye, doing so in the quiet comfort of their own bed may be the final precious gift we can give to our sweet companions.
