Create a safe spot in your home - walk-in closet, spare room with the blinds closed, white noise such as a fan or background TV or music and their fave comfy bed/blankets. It could be a long weekend in the noise department 🙁.

Be sure to keep fresh water out for the wild animals too in this heat who also will be very stressed this weekend and many have babies they are caring for now.

Please keep your pets inside tonight - and likely all weekend - as fireworks will be rampant. July 5th is the busiest day of the year at animal shelters for lost pets who bolted due to the noise. 😌 Shelters are packed to the max already. Give you microchip company a call to verify they have your correct contact info, so if your pet is lost, and is scanned, you can be notified promptly. Stay safe and have fun.

🇺🇸 Celebrate the 4th of July with "Stars, Stripes, and Snips."

Make sure all the cats you feed and care for are 'snipped.'

Remember - if you feed 'em - fix 'em! >^,^

This is why ear tips are important.

Fireworks are starting all ready . PLEASE make sure there is ID on your cats/dogs whether they are inside or outside pets. All it takes it one BOOM with a cracked door for them to scoot out and be gone. This tip outlined below requires little to no effort.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk >^,^

Every year, the days leading up to and following the 4th of July, shelters everywhere fill up with animals frightened by fireworks. ☹️🎆
Please put a phone number on your pet. You don't have to spend any money because you likely already have these things in your home!
Grab some tape (duct tape or painters tape works great), a sharpie or an ink pen and make this minimal effort to keep your pet from ending up at a shelter.
Even if you think there's no way they can or will escape your property, just do it.
Finding a stray animal with a phone number makes it SO SIMPLE to reunite them with their owner.
Let's make a difference this holiday and keep animals from ending up at the shelter.
Lastly, Please spay/neuter your pets.
Shelters are drowning in homeless pets😔

Plan accordingly 😂🤣😂

Today is Cat World Domination Day, your annual reminder about who is actually in charge.

We are hot and so are all the animals. This is a great way to give them some long lasting cool water and a little fun at the same time. Ofcourse you can make the ice balls smaller or larger depending on what kind of animals you are helping. I go for the larger size as it is going to melt fast in this heat. Just be sure to set it in a saucer of some kind with a little water to help it turn more easily and keep their tongues from getting stuck on the ice!

ETA - this is supposed to be a video but shared as a pic. Just search for cat ice ball water balloons and you should be able to see some videos - they love these. We did them for Mary's deck kitties when she used to have "Cat Beach" and they were a big hit!

These current temps are brutal, so I wanted to snag this perfect graphic 😉 Then I decided to share the whole post in case someone wants to look and see if there is something they can't live without in their current auction which ends TONIGHT! This is a great wildlife rescue located in SC and like all other rescues these days could use a hand with FUNdraising!

PLEASE be sure to bring your pets inside if at all possible and keep plenty of water bowls outside to help the wildlife as all are struggling in this heat - Thanks for sharing!!!
