It’s time to shatter those myths today: black cats are just as affectionate, playful, and wonderful as any other cat (some say even more so!). Let's celebrate these mysterious and majestic felines who bring a little magic into our lives. Show some love for your black cat today! Happy National Black Cat Appreciation Day! 🖤

🐾 Today is Check the Chip Day!
A quick PSA: if your pet is microchipped, check that your contact information is up to date in the microchip registry.

If you’ve moved or changed phone numbers, update it! It’s often free and could make all the difference if your pet ever gets lost.

If your pet isn’t microchipped yet, talk to your vet or local shelter about it. It’s a simple, inexpensive procedure that can reunite families.

Microchipping pets (and keeping info current) means fewer lost animals on the streets and fewer ending up in shelters. It goes hand-in-hand with spay/neuter and other responsible pet ownership steps to reduce homeless pets.

Every little action helps! Double-check that chip! ✅

Happy International Cat Day to all the cool cats out there! 😻🎉 Today we celebrate everything we love about our feline friends – their cattitude, cuddles, and crazy antics.

We also want to give a heartfelt thank you to the incredible organizations across Florida working every day to keep cats healthy, safe, and happy. 💙 🐾

Here’s how: When you purchase the Florida Animal Friend “Spay & Neuter” license plate, the extra $25 fee goes straight into a fund for spay/neuter programs across Florida. 100% of those funds become grants for shelters and clinics doing crucial work. Over the years, your plate purchases have contributed to over $8.8 million in grants, funding tens of thousands of free or low-cost surgeries

Every plate = more lives fixed (literally!). So when we say Florida’s cutest license plate helps save lives, we mean it. 🐶🐱 Thank you to everyone sporting the paw-print plate on your car. And if you don’t have one yet, consider making your next plate the Florida Animal Friend plate – you’ll be directly helping animals in need with every mile you drive. 🚗💙

Here’s the truth:
Spaying or neutering actually improves your pet’s long-term health. It can reduce the risk of certain cancers, prevent serious infections, and lead to calmer behavior.

✅ Less aggression
✅ No marking or roaming
✅ Longer, healthier life

Fixing your pet isn’t just safe—it’s one of the best things you can do for them. 🐾💙

About 70,000 kittens and puppies are born every single day in the U.S. – far more than there are homes for.

The result? Crowded shelters and so many lives at risk. Spaying/neutering is the only humane way to break this cycle. By “fixing” your pet, you’re preventing countless unwanted litters and reducing shelter intake.

💙 It’s a simple fix that saves lives. Help us spread the word this summer: Spay and neuter your pets, and encourage others to do the same!

Happy National Kitten Day! 😻🎉 Is there anything cuter than a litter of kittens? (We think not!)

Here’s a serious fact behind the cuteness: un-spayed cats can have multiple litters a year, which contributes to thousands of homeless kittens.

Spaying your cat by about 5 months old can prevent those surprise litters and keep her healthier. In fact, spaying helps prevent certain cancers and infections in female cats

So as we celebrate kittens today, remember: the best way to honor our feline friends is to “Fix” them for a healthier, happier life and fewer kittens in shelters. Give your kitty some extra snuggles today! 💕🐾

☀️🌡️ Summer in Florida is HOT, and our pets feel it too! July is Pet Hydration Awareness Month, so here’s your friendly reminder to keep Fido and Fluffy cool and hydrated.

1: Always have fresh, cool water available – at home and on walks.

2: Avoid midday heat; walk during cooler mornings/evenings and test surfaces with your hand (if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for paws!).

3: Never leave pets in a parked car, even for a minute. Heatstroke can happen fast.

Keeping pets hydrated and safe in hot weather is critical for their health. Let’s help our fur-friends beat the heat! 🐶💧🐱

Happy Fourth of July! While we enjoy the celebrations, remember that fireworks can be scary for our pets.

🐾 Here are a few tips to keep your cats and dogs safe and calm tonight: Keep them indoors in a quiet, secure room – many pets try to run from loud noises.

🐾 ID your pet – make sure they’re microchipped and wearing a tag (just in case).

🐾 Create a comfy safe space with their bed or crate, and maybe play soft music to mask booms.

🐾 Avoid giving table scraps from BBQs that could upset their tummy.

🐾 Your pet’s safety = your peace of mind. Have a great (and safe) Independence Day! 🇺🇸🐶🐱

It’s National ID Your Pet Day! 🏷️ Did you know microchipping and ID tags can be a lifesaver if your pet ever gets lost?

Make sure your furry friend has up-to-date ID. A microchip (with current contact info) + a collar tag greatly increase the chances of a lost pet reuniting with its owner.

Tip: Take a minute today to check that your pet’s tag info and microchip registration are current. Keeping pets safe at home means fewer strays in shelters – a win for everyone! 📍💙

Save Lives. Spay & Neuter Your Pets

When you purchase a Florida Animal Friend license plate, $25 of every plate sold goes directly to fund organizations across the state who offer free or low-cost spay and neuter services. These services are made available to pets of low income families as well as homeless cats and dogs waiting to be adopted. By purchasing the plate or donating to show your support, we become one step closer to ensuring that all animals can have a safe, happy and loving home.
