❄The weather is cooling down and your car engine bay is the warmest spot on the block❄

While it is often addressed to check for kittens on the first start-up of your vehicle, many people neglect to check between errands.

Even in a small time frame, like running into the house to use the restroom and put away groceries, is long enough for a cold and curious friend to find their way to your errand-warmed car engines, brakes, and axels.

Many kittens lose limbs and lives to the many moving parts of vehicles while simply trying to get warm.

Take the minute, save the kitten!!

We are the designated administrator for this ICare program. You can support us and the program buy renewing your plates with the ICare plate. This program serves people who are struggling to get by but want to do the best thing for their pets.

Did you know North Carolina already has a spay/neuter license plate? 🚗

It's the "I Care" Animal Lovers plate, and $20 of its $30 yearly fee goes to the state's Spay/Neuter Account. In 2025 the plate sent $122,228.33 to that fund, from roughly 6,100 plates in a state with more than 8.6 million registered vehicles.

Growing it is one thing any of us can do without waiting on the legislature. How to order one, and what it funds: https://ncpetproject.org/nc-spay-neuter-license-plate/?ref=fb

Johanna is our November WAC Member Spotlight. Jo is an accountant who helps us with our taxes and assists with our fundraisers.
She is also a board member with our rescue partner Ruffian Foundation.
Jo has cats of her own; Thor, Pixie, Odin, Aurora, Logan, Drax and several foster kittens!
We asked her why she volunteers with WAC:
I support Wilmington Animal Centrix because animal rescue is very close to my heart. I’ve seen firsthand how much of a difference compassion, community support, and access to resources can make for animals in need. I believe in their mission and want to be part of creating a better future for animals in our community.
Thanks to Jo for her help with so many homeless animals in our community. ❤️

These kittens didn’t lose their mittens, but they did gain freedom! Thanks to the help of our volunteers and doners, Yang Sweetpea and his siblings don’t have to live the same rough life their mother did. Little sister Willow won’t be a scared and lonely single mom desperate for a place to safely give birth.

With the cold weather coming, be mindful of hidden kittens! As we prepare for the spring kitten boom, please donate if you can.

And as always, Adopt, Don't Shop!! 🐶🐱❤️

🦝💚 Wildlife Wednesday: Let’s Show Raccoons Some Love!

With their adorable masked faces and clever little paws, raccoons are some of nature’s most fascinating creatures! But these intelligent animals are so much more than nighttime visitors to our backyards. 🌿

Raccoons play an important role in our ecosystem by helping control insect populations, dispersing seeds, and cleaning up fallen fruit and other organic matter.

Sadly, raccoons are often misunderstood and treated as pests simply for trying to survive in a world where their natural habitats are disappearing. 💔

A few ways we can peacefully coexist:
🌿 Secure trash cans and outdoor food sources.

💚 Never feed or attempt to handle wild raccoons.

🏡 Give them space and allow them to go about their lives.

🦝 Remember that seeing a raccoon during the day doesn’t automatically mean it’s sick!

They aren’t intruders in our world. We share this world with them. 🌎❤️

Every creature has a purpose, and every life deserves compassion and respect.

Let’s choose kindness over fear and coexistence over conflict. 💚

🐾💛 Animal people, sit with me a spell. (Well, about four and a half minutes. 🤣)

I want to tell you a little story about unexpected kindness, extraordinary people, a very special little cat, and the beautiful ways our animal welfare community is connected.

It's a story about finding hope in an unlikely place, about the people who give so much of themselves to animals in need, and about how even the smallest acts of generosity can ripple outward in ways we may never fully understand.

And it all started with a little painting. 🎨🐈‍⬛

So grab your coffee, settle in, and let me tell you about Poppy. 💕

Because your time, your efforts, and your dollars do so much more than you realize.
