Woohoo! Penny was adopted today! ❤️ Her dad said, "Hi there! Just wanted to give you a quick update, Ms. Penny is doing well, she’s eating her full amounts now she was a little shy to eat at first, she really loves hanging around us while we do our normal stuff. She’s been playing with her toys a lot more now that she’s more comfortable. She’s found a place on a shelf that she likes, she has to shove some stuff off to get to it but that’s okay 😅. She also loves sitting in our office chairs. Any chance she sees that they’re empty she almost runs to them to take a nap on them. I’ve attached some pics and videos of her for ya."
Congratulations to Penny and her dad! 🎉

If you scroll wayyyyyyyyy back on our feed, you'll find this guy, One-Eyed Jack 😄 He was a stray cat who came in with a busted eye 😬😢 The vet figures that an animal (most likely another cat) got into a fight with One-Eyed Jack, and that animal's claw popped his eyeball like it was a balloon 🙈 So the vet stitched his eye shut when he went in to be neutered 👍🏻
Anyway, I ran into his mom yesterday and she remembered to send an update on One-Eyed Jack to us tonight ❤️🥹🥰
He's such a big kitty now 😯🏴‍☠️😻

Awww yiiiis, we received an update on Sammy Lee! ❤️😁 Sammy Lee was one of the kittens who someone dumped in our backyard last October. His sister, Boo, didn't make it 🥺😔💔 Boo's gonna meet me at the Rainbow Bridge someday ❤️🥹🌈😇 Anyway, I included photos of what Sammy Lee looked like when we rescued him from our backyard. I'm SO HAPPY to see him fat and happy ❤️😍🥰
His mom said:
"Hello Mom Brigette,
Lookit how big and beautiful I've grown.
I'm a full-blown naughty boy. I have selective hearing, and water squirts only annoys me.
Prone to get the zoomies and love to play.
Here are some photos, I like my outdoor time; we have a large safe kennel, chicken wire secured across the top, with our kitty hutch in it.
One of my pictures I'm sitting in mom's potato drawer watching her.
And sleeping on mom is the best.
All for now,
Sweet Boy Sammy Lee & Mom A"

Unfortunately it's foxtail season again 😞 Foxtail plants are a weed-type grass that can cause serious problems for animals!
Ear infections, nosebleeds/rhinitis, pyothorax, abscesses and tetanus are just SOME of the serious issues that can come from these little guys! If you notice your pet repeatedly sneezing, pawing at their ears, coughing or acting uncomfortable, these could be signs of a possible foxtail and should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Awww yiiiis, we received an update on Blair and Buffy! ❤️😁 Their mom said, "Hello Brigette and Team! Our girls are still doing great, and their cuteness adds SO much to my days! We play a lot, but I'm not coordinated enough to take good photos and keep them entertained with the wand - LOL!
I let them out of the 'kitten room / office' on Sunday because they were being so bold. Well, that was a little scary so I just leave the door open half way a few times a day. They can't stop their natural curiosity so bit by bit, they explore more.
I know one day very soon everything will belong to them, and I'll just be a guest here! 😸
I hope you all are doing well and enjoying these summer days! ⛱️
Note Blair's shadow from her sitting in the window while Buffy is trying to get her rays - it's never a dull moment!"

Woohoo! We received an update on Summer! ❤️ Her mom said, "Just realized it’s been one week since we brought Summer (Holly) home! She’s adjusted so well it seems like longer. She has made herself at home! We have a finished basement and she had no problem with the stairs, she zooms up and down them (good exercise!) she loves visits from our grandkids (ages 5 and 7), the more petting the better! And with me having leg issues, I am often up at night, she always sits on my lap or beside me and keeps me company. Summer has already worked her way into our home and hearts."

Willie loves to sit on his perch where the heat comes up. He has also turned into a cuddle bug the older he gets.
Well it has been one year since I and my husband had adopted Nate king Cole into my family and he has opened up so much we are able to pick him up and he enjoys it he is happy and I’m happy that’s he’s happy and he has a sister so the family keeps growing here a picture I got of him this morning
Miss Tika has become a lap cat.
I know I just shared an update about Annie, but she has had a VERY AMAZING week! LOOK AT HER with her NEW FRIENDS!!! The little one is my boyfriend's dog, Cyrus and the Weimaraner, Ridge, is a new dog park friend. Like, ANNIE has FRIENDS, y'all. And she LIKES her friends. 😆 She plays and has fun and shares her toys and treats. We all are so happy for her in our family!
This is our precious fur baby Daisy and my son. This picture was taken last night. I wanted to share because I wanted to give you an update on her. First I want to let you know how blessed we are to have been able to adopt Daisy from your shelter. She's been with us for o
Around 3 months now I believe. I call her our angel of comfort. I want to be honest and tell you that at first it was questionable for us to adopt an adult dog. I've always only had pets from the start when they where babies. The adjustment time for Daisey to realize that she was in her forever home was about spot on with the handout we where giving. It took time and patients from both ends. Let me tell you the best decision I've made was to bring her in our home. She brings so much light and joy and comfort into our household. She's so loving. Her favorite is when we visit my oldest daughter's house out of town. She loves the drive and runs free in the yard and visits her fur friends there. She's always in the same room as me. Follows me from room to room. And 9 out of 10 times she gets to run errons with us.we don't have her on a harness or leash with potty breaks. She doesn't stray. And always comes when her name is called. She so kind and gentle. Adoption from the shelters are the way to go. Also thankyou to the foundation that made our adoption possible.
Annie is such a goof. I was trying to record them chasing each other, but when I pressed "record" they stopped doing it. Anyway, she is still doing wonderful! She is even comfortable touching noses with other dogs at the vet!! So proud of her progress!
*FOUND and safely returned home*

This kitten has tried getting in my house now 3 days in a row. Finally let her in tonight. Anyone know who she belongs to?? She cannot stay here as I have a little one severely allergic. Located on the 400 block of 6th St. N.
Just a update in miss Gerdi. It’s has been 2 years yesterday since we adopted her. We love your feisty almost toothless little girl. When she and her niece Perry are walking and playing together you wouldn’t know she is 12 .❤️❤️❤️ we love her to pieces.
Hanging out by the greenhouse orchard/river. Has a pettrac or pet find tag, but haven't been able to read the numbers yet. Please text 7014033495 Stacey
Can the Humane Society put out notices on the radio and newspaper to stop people from keeping their Dogs in outside cages in this heat? Now we can't hear them suffering because they put Bark Collars on them. It is so inhumane!
Update on Nate he’s been doing well getting more and more comfortable with us
He’s home!! ❤️❤️❤️ I just had to be patient. He must have had somewhere to stay cool on this hot day. Thank you everyone’s for your help, thoughts and well wishes!

This big lovable boy didn’t come home today. He was last seen at 5:45 AM at the neighbors in the 1400 block of 15th St. He does not have a collar, because he loses it, but he does have all of his shots. He is not chipped. Sprout is his name.
Please let us know if you’ve seen him via message or call/text 701-640-1197. Thank you.
