🎶On the first day of Christmas All Pets gave to me a chunky orange cat with FIV!🎶

🐱🎄❤️🐈☃️🎁🎉😍

Everyone meet Egg Nog (aka Noggin)! He is a 2(ish) year old neutered male that is up to date on all his vet care and vaccines. Weighing in at a healthy 15 pounds, he is hoping to be purring under someone's tree this holiday season! Seriously the purr on this guy sounds like a Nascar starting up! Unfortunately he is FIV + which makes a lot of people immediately turn away. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is a virus that weakens a cat's immune system, making them more susceptible to infections. It is only transmitted through deep bite wounds and not casual contact, so with proper introductions he would/could do great with other cats! He doesn't seem to mind dogs at all and tends to ignore them. He really just wants attention and of course snacks. Noggin came to us as a stray. So we are hoping to find someone who won't judge him on his past life in the streets and instead open their home to a changed man Contact us directly at the office if you are interested in meeting this loaf of kitty! 🍞

***Due to his status he will need to be an indoor cat only so we can prevent the spread to other outside kitties!***

It's getting cold out there! Our outdoor and feral kitty friends often crawl under or into car engines for warmth when it’s chilly.

What you can do:

▶️Tap the hood or honk your horn before starting the car to alert any hiding cats.

▶️Check wheel-wells and under the car too — kittens might not move when the car starts.

▶️If you see outdoor cats around, offer a safe, warm shelter away from vehicles.

Let’s help keep our furry little friends safe and warm this season. Please share & like for more pet safety tips!

It all starts with love and respect. When you choose to bring a dog into your life, you're making a lifelong commitment. This isn’t just about having a pet; it’s about giving them the same love, care, and respect that you would offer a family member. Their love is unwavering, and in return, we must provide them with a safe, nurturing environment.

Dogs are not toys or accessories; they are living beings with emotions and needs. They rely on us for their happiness, health, and well-being. It’s essential to treat them as you would treat anyone you love — with kindness, patience, and understanding. They might not speak our language, but they understand our actions.

Respecting our pets means acknowledging their individuality and their needs. Some dogs need more exercise, others need more affection, but every dog deserves to feel loved and valued. They are loyal to us, and we must be loyal to them in return. The simple act of respecting them fosters a deeper bond that lasts a lifetime.

So, when you decide to bring a dog into your home, remember that it’s not just about ownership. It’s about sharing a life together, one built on mutual respect, love, and trust. This simple truth is what makes the relationship between humans and dogs one of the most beautiful connections in the world. 🐕💖

🍂 October isn't just fall. It's eviction season for baby wildlife and the start of winter trauma season 💔

THE DISPERSAL CRISIS:
As days shorten, thousands of young animals are leaving their dens and familiar environments for the first time. What was a baby in spring is now alone, inexperienced, and crossing your road on the pavement by foot and flying across.

WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW:
🦉Young owls continue to master hunting skills. They often seek rodents or carrion on the road.
🦝 Squirrel and skunk babies get the "boot" from parents
🦌 Young deer forced away so mom can breed again
🦊 Fox kits travel 50 miles looking for territory
🐭 Opossum joeys navigating roads solo
🦝 Raccoon siblings venture out without mom's guidance

WHY OCTOBER IS DEADLY:
💔 First time crossing roads alone
💔 Zero traffic experience
💔 Desperate for food before winter
💔 Active at dawn/dusk (rush hour)
💔 Don't understand speed or headlights

THE HEARTBREAK:
They survived their first summer.
Learned to hunt, avoided predators, grew strong.
Then die on a roadway in their first fall season

WHAT YOU'RE SEEING:
Not animals "randomly" on roads.
Confused, displaced babies trying to find home.
Inexperienced youth making fatal first mistakes.
The price wildlife pays for our convenience.

THE KINDEST THING YOU CAN DO:
✓ Slow down at dawn, dusk, and night
✓ Watch for reflecting eyes near roads
✓ Be prepared to brake suddenly
✓ Remember: they're not trying to die—they're trying to survive.

Please give wildlife a chance🍂🧡

Louisville pet owners will be given time to comply with a new microchipping law, though the details are still being worked out.

When you bring us an orphan, we don’t feed them immediately.

We get their body temperature to a species and age appropriate temperature.

We assess them for injuries and follow a road map of protocols for that specific patient.

We hydrate them to prepare their digestive systems for nutritional breakdown and absorption.

We slowly introduce formula to decrease adverse reactions like diarrhea (deadly) and bloat (deadly).

When we say please don’t give water or food, it’s because it is more often than not harmful rather than helpful.

Please help us help them by refraining from giving water or food when you find an injured, sick, or orphaned animal.

The top left is a healthy orphan indicated by the pink nose and hands. The top right is a very sick baby with sunken in eyes and more of a grey-blue color due to severe lack of oxygen. The bottom left is alert but has missing fur on the nose due to malnourishment. The baby on the top right died shortly after arriving despite our best efforts which included oxygen therapy.

It's time to look at things differently. It's not all about us.
