Quotable

"Animals cannot speak, but can you and I not speak for them and represent them? Let us all feel their silent cry of agony and let us all help that cry to be heard in the world.
Rukmini Devi Arundale

Crazy Cat Person ????

1. Your colleagues no longer ask how your weekend was -- instead they ask how your cats are doing.
2. People at work have stopped offering you their lint brushes. They realize it's hopeless anyway.
3. When you get your latest roll of film developed, there's not a single human being in the pictures.
4. You have more cats than the local pet store and there are several kitty litter boxes in every room of your apartment.
5. Your personal motto is: "You can never have enough cats."
6. You buy more than 60 pounds of cat litter a month.
7. You'd rather watch hours of boring infomercials than disturb the cat sleeping on the remote.
8. You choose your friends based on how well your cats like them.
9. The only time you leave your apartment is to feed the stray cats in the neighborhood.
10. You introduce your cats by name to the pizza delivery guy.

Expand Your Bird's World

Since most companion birds are not flying, it's up to us to provide them with other ways to spread their wings. Clipped feathers should not equate to cutting your bird's freedom. We can help our birds live huge and energetic lives by simply expanding the world around them. ~Angela R.W.~

Cold Weather Tips

  • Allow animals inside, especially the young, old and short haired.
  • Dogs spending time outside need warm, dry shelter.
  • Be sure tethers cannot get tangled.
  • Increase food during the winter.
  • Treat for parasites, if necessary.
  • Short haired animals benefit from sweaters and coats.

Miceaway

It's simple to get rid of mice for good by making our homes and yards uninviting to them. Seal holes larger than a quarter inch in diameter, cracks in the walls and floors, and spaces around doors, windows, and plumbing. Clear wood piles, seed, and brush from yards. Feed companion animals indoors and pick up their dishes after they eat. Keep all food and garbage in well-sealed containers mice can't chew through.

Camp Katrina Diary

"Monday: An injured feral cat sends a vet to the ER

It's been awhile since I've worked with shelter cats, and I'm not sure exactly what state the animals will be in, so I'm a little nervous. My partner for the duration of my stay is Sean, a 19-year-old who stopped in from Santa Fe on his way to Washington for a job. After breakfast, we begin feeding and watering the cats, changing their litter, pulling out their "puppy pans" and wiping them down with bleach, and giving them fresh blankets." More.

He's Not My Dog

"I have a new friend who is crashing on my couch for while – a Rottweiler. His story, as best I can piece it together, is a good example of how so many pets survived Hurricane Katrina and where their journeys have taken them in the intervening time." More.
