June is Adopt-a-Cat Month! It’s a time to celebrate the incredible bond between rescued cats and the families who give them a second chance. From routine exams to lifelong veterinary care, every adopted pet deserves a healthy, happy life. If you’ve welcomed a feline friend, share their journey with us! 😺💕

It's that time of year again... Black fly season.
Every year those little annoyances come out and cause a ton of issues for us and our pets. One of the tell tail signs of a black fly bite in a cat or a dog is a red ring on the skin. But as we know, living in Maine, they can look an awful lot like the notorious Lyme bullseye we have all grown to recognize. Both photos with this post are of Black Fly bites.
Black flies have a hard time getting through fur and so usually you'll only find these red round or oval spots on the hairless belly or ears. Of course if you have any worries, contact your veterinarian. We hope in sharing this, it may rest some worried pet parent's minds going into the season.
We at Kindred Spirits hope you all have a wonderful Summer.

Lyme disease can affect dogs in several ways, from joint pain and lameness to fever, fatigue, and, in some cases, kidney complications. Because symptoms may not appear right away, prevention and regular veterinary care are key to protecting your pet. 🐾
