🐰 BUN FACT FRIDAY!

Bunnies aren’t just cute little fluff balls… they can be pretty tidy, too! Did you know rabbits can actually be litter box trained?

That’s right! With the right setup, your bunny can learn to use a litter box. Who knew those little hops could come with such good bathroom manners? 😂

💡 Litter-training tip: Place a litter box in the corner your bunny already likes to use, and add a little hay inside or right next to it. Rabbits love to munch while they do their business, so this can help encourage good litter box habits! 🌿

Meet the adorably adoptable Tippy!

Tippy is a young American mix bunny who was rescued from the sweltering outdoors during this past summer’s heat wave. Even with all that she has been through, this gorgeous girl is extremely friendly and outgoing and absolutely loves attention and treats! Tippy is also very social and did great at our candle shop event recently. We feel that Tippy would be the perfect addition to anyone's family and would likely do well with a bunny friend.

Tippy approximate DOB is 7/2/25 and she is spayed and fully vaccinated (RHDV2).

*Many of our animals are also available for fostering. Both the fostering and adoption application links can be found on our Linktree at: linktr.ee/thesqueaks

🐹 Tiny Tails Trivia Tuesday!

Did you know that guinea pigs can be part of your family for 5–8 years?

That’s potentially years of wheeking for veggies, adorable popcorn jumps, and those little happy sounds we all love! 🥬🎶

A guinea pig’s lifespan depends on several factors, including genetics, diet, veterinary care, and overall living conditions. Providing proper care helps give these little companions the best chance at a long, happy life! 🏡❤️

🐾 Thinking about adopting guinea pigs? Remember, they’re a long-term commitment with big personalities and lots of love to give!

Kitten # 3 is safe tonight 🫶

The spicy little dilute Torty, now named Coraline, has been reunited with her littermates.

We still have a trap set for mama.

The two feral cats got spayed today and will be released after 24 hours back into their community.

Jack Skellington and Sally got a quick look over today at the vet along with their first vaccine and flea/tick treatment. They will get spayed/neutered Thanksgiving week.

A Quick Update from Sammie:

🗣️ “You’re doing too much!” “You’re not doing enough!”

All we can do is our best. This is what I am reminding myself tonight as I try to wind down and get a few hours of sleep.

I’ll try to do a more in-depth update soon. But, in the meantime,…

🐹 We have a new friendly Syrian hamster, Bambi, joining our adoptable rodents! (pic below)

🐱 We were tagged by some individuals we’ve helped in the past regarding 3 kittens on someone’s front porch needing to be trapped & vetted. When we got to the property the kittens were nowhere to be found. They weren’t in their usual spots. I decided to walk the property and that’s when I saw them. They were eating out of a neighbor’s spilled trash can. We were able to trap 2 of the kittens AND spotted the mama who is in need of spay/vetting. We headed home with the 2 kittens after setting up a trap (monitored by the property owners) to catch the third kitten or mama. On the way home, we got a call. An unknown cat was in the trap! We came back to find an adult feral in the trap. Then a second adult feral walked into another trap we got for the kitten/mama. So we ended up coming home with 2 of the 3 kittens plus 2 adult ferals for TNR. We have a trap set for the third kitten. And we plan to bring an additional trap to catch mama.

Why didn’t we release the unexpected adult cats? We can’t do everything but we can do our part for them (and hopefully mama) to get them spayed/neutered before releasing them. Otherwise, we have barely put a dent in the feral cat crisis.

🫶 PLEASE NOTE: The kittens are weaned. We did not separate nursing babies from their mom.
🚫 NO ADVICE NEEDED. We have amazing support from the cat rescue and vet med communities when advice is needed.

I’ll be dropping the ferals off at the vet’s early Monday morning for spay/neuter and the kittens will be seen in the afternoon. Please pray we are able to catch the third kitten and mama. Also, pray for Jo who went with me and took the brunt of the scared, spicy kittens.

🐰 💡 Bun Fact Friday

Ever wonder how bunnies seem to notice everything around them? It’s all in the eyes! 👀

Rabbits have *nearly* 360-degree vision, allowing them to spot potential danger from almost every direction! 🌎 Their only blind spots are right in front of their noses and behind their ears. 👃👂

So next time your bunny seems to know you’re sneaking up with a treat, remember… they might have already seen you coming! 🥕😆

🎄🐰 URGENT: Holiday Fosters Needed! 🐾❤️

A few of our rabbit fosters fell through due to unexpected family emergencies, and we need YOUR help finding some of our furry friends a place to land this holiday season! 🏡

🐰 RABBITS: We’re especially looking for fosters for our friendly bonded pairs and larger-breed bunnies! Whether you can open your home temporarily (ideally through the end of the year), until they’re adopted, or as a foster-to-adopt - we have options for you! And don’t forget… fosters receive an adoption fee discount if they decide to make it official! 😉💕

🐱 CAT LOVERS: Staying home for the holidays? We have TWO adoptable cats hoping to find a cozy holiday foster home!
🐾 Miss Molly would love a quiet home without young children or rowdy pets.
🐾 Stoick is a little more easy-going and ready to make himself at home.
Both are looking for someone to share some holiday snuggles with. Could that be YOU? 🥹❤️

🐭 OTHER SMALL ANIMALS: We also have chinchillas, rats, guinea pigs, gerbils, and senior male mice looking for foster homes and/or forever families!

✨ You don’t have to adopt to make a difference. Opening your home, even temporarily, helps us free up space and give more animals the care and attention they need.

🎁 Make this holiday season extra special by giving an animal a safe, loving place to stay!

🔗 Foster & adoption applications are available at linktr.ee/thesqueaks

📩 Have questions or want to learn more? Send us a message!

Please share to help us find these animals their holiday homes! 🐾💚

‼️ NORTHERN CAMBRIA CAT UPDATE ‼️

FINAL UPDATE (FOR NOW): The imaging didn’t show any impacted teeth causing the issues and they didn’t find any polyps or other obvious issues. They flushed her out and we hope that’ll help the respiratory issues resolve. If not, we will try another antibiotic. The good news is that her SNAP tests were negative and her upper respiratory PCR tests were negative. Now we just have to evict the boogers and stop the sneezing fits & wheezing.

UPDATE: We are going to be leaving her at the vet to be sedated so the vets can get a better look at her dental situation and look for a polyp. The estimate is between approx. $450-700 depending on what they find. If her dental situation is too complex, she may have to go to a specialist.

We are at the vet with Olive Oyl who has had chronic respiratory issues since her arrival from the Northern Cambria hoarding situation. All her testing up to this point has been negative. We’ve done multiple rounds of antibiotics only for the symptoms to immediately return. They are doing x-rays to see if some of the teeth that didn’t erupt are the problem. The other issue to rule out would be a polyp.

Exam and x-rays are estimated to be $300. Next step would be to sedate to look for a polyp.

🆘 Help us help her by donating! Donation links can be found at linktr.ee/thesqueaks 🆘

🫶 Please share the need and send Olive Oyl lots of love 🫶
