In observance of , here are our top 4 Rabies safety tips:

Keep your pet up to date with Rabies
vaccines. The law varies by location, so ask your veterinarian.

If you see an animal known to carry Rabies acting abnormally or in contact with your pet, call animal control immediately. Do not handle the wild animal or risk getting bitten yourself.

If you or your pet has been exposed, contact your personal health care provider and your veterinarian immediately. Time is critical after exposure to prevent infection and death!

Bats are the leading cause of human rabies death in the United States, being responsible for more than 7 out of 10 fatal US rabies cases. Never handle bats or other wild animals as exposure can occur even if bites or scratches aren't visible. If you
encounter a bat in your home, yard, or other area that would expose humans or pets, please call your local animal control and report the incident.

These 2 babies are up for adoption ❤️

These babies have been rescued from being feral cats. They were so very scared at first but are being socialized. They are doing remarkably well! ❤️ They are very playful & snuggly as well.

They are bonded so adopting together is ideal & would very much prefer that. 🩷

Male & Female. The male is the one on the bottom of the photo, female at the top.

Serious inquiries only.

They deserve nothing but the best! ❤️
