Urgent cats in need of a great home!

These cats are at the ACCT shelter in Philadelphia, PA and are all in desperate need to find a loving home, as they are at high risk of being euthanized because they either have a cold, are older, etc.

Please do not let these kitties spend the holidays in a crowded shelter- or even not live to see the holidays.

If you are considering adopting a pet, you can also check out your local shelter or look on websites such as Petfinder or Pet Pardons on Facebook.

Adopt, don't shop!

Animal Cruelty-Free Products

Animal testing involves doing very cruel and inhumane things to innocent animals to ensure products are safe. These tests can lead to the blinding and poisoning of these animals.

If you want to go cruelty-free, you can look on PETA's website, which lists a wide array of companies and products that do not test on animals and instead use other alternatives to test their safety.

Grannicks Bitter Apple Taste Training Spray

Grannicks Bitter Apple Taste Spray serves as a safe and effective training aid to discourage dogs from biting on areas and objects you do not want them to, such as furniture. You can also spray it on your pet's injuries, so that they don't lick them and to allow them to heal properly.

Grannicks Bitter Apple Taste Spray is non-irritating and is safe to use on various home furnishings, including wood.

Funny Kitty Video

Hi everyone-I hope you all had a great Christmas!

I found this video and thought it was so cute and funny, so I decided to share it with all of you. I've never seen any other cat do this!

(And thanks so much for the donations! Because it was Christmas, I decided to donate all of it to the ASPCA).

Please Help Unwanted Animals This Holiday

A Rescue Dog's Christmas Poem (author unknown)

'Tis the night before Christmas and all through the town,
every shelter is full - we are lost, but not found,
Our numbers are hung on our kennels so bare,
we hope every minute that someone will care,
They'll come to adopt us and give us the call,
"Come here, Max and Sparkie - come fetch your new ball!!
But now we sit here and think of the days...
we were treated so fondly - we had cute, baby ways,
Once we were little, then we grew and we grew
now we're no longer young and we're no longer new.
So out the back door we were thrown like the trash,
they reacted so quickly - why were they so rash?
We "jump on the children:, "don't come when they call",
we "bark when they leave us", climb over the wall.
We should have been neutered, we should have been spayed,
now we suffer the consequence of the errors THEY made.
If only they'd trained us, if only we knew...
we'd have done what they asked us and worshiped them, too.
We were left in the backyard, or worse -let to roam-
now we're tired and lonely and out of a home.
They dropped us off here and they kissed us good-bye...
"Maybe someone else will give you a try."
So now here we are, all confused and alone...
in a shelter with others who long for a home.
The kind workers come through with a meal and a pat,
with so many to care for, they can't stay to chat,
They move to the next kennel, giving each of us cheer...
we know that they wonder how long we'll be here.
We lay down to sleep and sweet dreams fill our heads...
of a home filled with love and our own cozy beds.
Then we wake to see sad eyes, brimming with tears -
our friends filled with emptiness, worry, and fear.
If you can't adopt us and there's no room at the Inn -
could you help with the bills and fill our food bin?
We count on your kindness each day of the year -
can you give more than hope to everyone here?
Please make a donation to pay for the heat...
and help get us something special to eat.
The shelter that cares for us wants us to live,
and more of us will, if more people will give.

More Ways You Can Help Animals This Holiday

Hey everyone! First, I wanted to start off by apologizing for not updating this blog for awhile. Things have been pretty hectic, so I hadn't really found the time to go on here. Anyhow, if you want to help animals in some way this upcoming holiday and need ideas, the ASPCA lists 10 ways you can help.

Also, you can shop on the Animal Rescue Site, where every product you purchase funds at least 14 bowls of food for animals in need. In addition, the site offers free clicks, which helps animals as well.

On a final note, here is a quote that should inspire us even more to help animals in need:
"I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?" God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. "I have done something," he replied. "I created you." ~ Jim Willis

Help Maintain Your Feline's Dental Health with C.E.T Chews

On days you are unable to brush your kitty's teeth, you can give him or her C.E.T. Chews. They naturally help clean teeth by preventing the build-up of plaque and tartar, fight harmful bacteria, and freshen breath. In addition, your cat will love the yummy taste of fish.
