Our own pet stories we love to share.
Too many times we’ve come across people who just get sick of their animals. For one reason or another, they have to leave their animals at a shelter or rescue. While not judging specifically, we believe pets are part of the family. In our world, family members aren’t dropped off …
The decision to add a feline to the family sometimes accompanies a decision as to whether to have the cat’s claws removed. Usually, this is a practice of removing the cat’s front claws only and not the back ones but can sometimes be both. The procedure must be done by …

Senior animals always have a place in our hearts. While they still have love to give… seniors will many times come with issues that need to be dealt with. We happened to get lucky with both Belle and Paws. Neither cat had any serious issues when we got them. Even …
Cat spraying can be one of the most frustrating challenges cat owners face. Much like our experience with Skittles, many cat parents find themselves at their wits’ end trying to address this behavior. Understanding why cats spray and how to prevent it requires patience, dedication, and a deep understanding of …
