When it comes to wildlife, please listen to the experts!

I am shutting down comments. The mean, cruel comments and vulgar language will not be tolerated. You will be blocked. I did not ask for your opinion in any way. If you choose to fill the lungs of an animal with fluids and drown it from improper feeding because you "don't see anything wrong with it"! You are the problem! You can't justify your actions with any excuse.

am begging you... Please if you find an animal in need, DO NOT FEED IT ANYTHING! NOT EVEN WATER! You are killing them with your good intentions! Please spend your time finding a licensed rehabilitator! Do not waste your time Googling what to feed them. The ONLY correct answer is NOTHING! Google does not have a license to rehabilitate wildlife. It is full of bad and harmful information!

I have held 2 different babies in the past 10 days that died in my hands. All I could do is cry. They didn't have to die! I can fix dehydrated. I can fix hungry. I can't fix being fed plant based replacement formula or soy milk. Especially for days. I can't fix the explosive liquid diarrhea from being fed formula they can't digest. I can't fix the aspiration pneumonia fluid filled lungs.

I know they're hungry and thirsty and crying. But trust me it is kinder to not feed them anything! Please refrain from doing it! It may be the kindest thing you can do.

I am heart broken for these babies. Please learn from them. Their lives meant something. Don't kill them with your kindness.

Meet Muffin

Is she gorgeous......yes
Does she know it.....yes

Muffin greets all visitors with the sweetest meows to lure you in (she won't stop until you open her cage door).

Muffin is affectionate, curious and vocal. She follows staff and volunteers around the room and stays close. When she's had enough of people she goes off on her own to lay in the sunny windowsill. Muffin can be a picky eater, right now she prefers dry kitten food.

Muffin's new family should be prepared to keep her looking her best with daily brushing and the occasional grooming appointment. She's had her 1st grooming at the shelter after coming in from the streets caked with dirt.

The shelter estimates Muffin to be a young adult who is now fully vetted. She should be the only pet in the household.

In between the cleaning and the road calls and the 2nd cleaning and the road calls and the vet visits and the laundry and kitten baths and assisting visitors, Animal Control Officers try to carve out time in their day to comfort a scared shelter animal, befriend a lonely face who's waited far too long that nobody asks to meet, teach an old dog new tricks or show compassion to a fearful animal who doesn't know what this new life behind bars is.
It's the reward of the job.

Gilbert is one of those animals. Surrendered with his best friend Buddy many weeks ago, these boys were a handful to say the least. Growling, hissing, lunging....anything to keep people away and they meant it. Their previous owner even came to help (no judgement please).
For many weeks many soft words were spoken and lots of yummy treats given but they weren't falling for the tricks.....

Until one day they did!

Two weeks ago, in all of his cuteness with his club foot, Gilbert greeted staff at the front of his cage with a head bump. Baby steps are still being taken and he's not quite ready to climb in laps but Gilbert is getting better every day!

This brave boy is ready to begin his journey to a furever home!
Gilbert deserves a quiet home where he is given the opportunity to decompress on his terms. Gilbert is 3 yrs old and fully vetted. His leg is a birth defect and doesn't bother him at all. In fact, he makes the cutest biscuits with it ❤️

He can likely live with other cats after he acclimates to his new family so a separate space for him would be ideal. No dogs or active children please.

Please visit The Woodbridge Animal Shelter and ask to meet Gilbert if you think you're a good match for him.

*we should mention that Buddy's progress has been slower but he's trying really hard*
