Today is National Cat Day! Gorm and Witly, who live with our LVT Kim, are wondering if that means they get extra snacks! What do you think?

This is Frank, one of our regular boarders. He occasionally takes on the role of boarding supervisor, as he watches the boarding staff carefully to make sure his snacks are all in order!

Sherman, who is 22 years young and a frequent CEVC boarder, was so excited to hear about National Vet Tech Week that he decided to join the nursing staff here! He won't be able to help draw blood or take x-rays (mostly due to a lack of thumbs), but he does keep us well-supplied in biscuits and meows. We're happy to make him an Honorary LVT for his hard work!

Happy Vet Tech Appreciation Week!

At Cats Exclusive, we couldn't survive a day without our dedicated and caring licensed veterinary technicians. They draw blood, get urine, analyze samples under the microscope, monitor anesthesia, take radiographs, keep an eye on hospitalized patients, provide owner education -- the list goes on and on, and they do all this while supporting the veterinarians they work with! Please join us in thanking our amazing team of LVTs!

Did you know a rabid bat was found this past week near the Washington Park Arboretum? Even indoor cats can be exposed to bats, who often find their ways into attics, catios, or can even get in through a window! Be sure to ask for and follow your vet's recommendations for keeping your kitty up to date on their vaccinations, including Rabies.

Today is and this year's theme is "Act Now: You, Me Community,” marking the first time in its 19-year history that the theme does not include the word "rabies," showing how well-established this movement has become. Whether you are an individual, part of an organization, or a decision-maker, the time to act is today. Here are some key takeaways from our "Rabies in the U.S." infographic.
🔵 In 2023, rabid animals in the U.S. totaled 3,760 - an increase of 5.1% from 3,579 in 2022.
🦇 Bats were the most frequently reported rabid animal in the U.S. in 2023. Over 1/3 of animal rabies cases in the U.S. in 2023 were bats.
0️⃣ Human cases of rabies in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in 2023.

Remember, the best way to protect your animals from this deadly disease is through vaccination and to keep them away from wildlife that can spread the disease. Learn more at avma.org/Rabies.

Do you know anyone without a current kitty that you think Chessie may be a good match for? Let's see if we can help her find a good home!

YOUR WEEKLY CHESSIE!

For those that missed her recent feature courtesy of KING 5 news, we would like to introduce you to Chessie - MEOW's longest resident in shelter at 295 days!

Previously adopted in early 2022 and returned on November, 27, 2024 when her original owner could no longer care for her due to life circumstances, Chessie has spent a good chunk of her4 years of life at MEOW. A quirky girl who requires a space all her own (she is not a fan of other cats), Chessie has struggled to find the right home to accept her unconditionally. Due to shelter stress, she is on a mild anti-anxiety medication (which can sometimes be scary for adopters) but she takes her meds like a pro and we feel that once she settles into a home of her very own, it's possible that she may be able to weaned off with guidance from a vet. A volunteer and staff favorite, Chessie enjoys laps, pets, and playtime with great enthusiasm, so we think she would be best with an experienced cat owner that understand the dynamics of consent with a more independent kitty.

In hopes of boosting her signal and finding her purrrfect home, we will be giving you a weekly dose of one of our favorite felines at MEOW!

Chessie LOVES to supervise everything the human's around her are doing, peeking out from her suite at MEOW to make sure we're all doing are very best to find her new furrever home. Maybe it will be yours?
