Did you know that it was recently Pet Fire Safety Week? 👨‍🚒

As pet owners, being prepared and knowledgeable on fire safety is crucial. Our pets rely on our actions for their safety, and it's up to us to do the best possibly can. ❤️

In 2022, 185 million people, or just under 10% of the world population, were affected by a natural disaster. As pet owners, it is even more crucial to be vigilant and be as prepared as possible for any circumstances; while humans are more understanding of what is happening, our furry counterparts are not.

How to be a Prepared Pet Owner During Disasters Written by: Amalia Graham

Happy Tuesday! 🐱 It's time for some trivia!

According to a recent 2024 study, which state has the most cat owners? Leave your guess in the comments, and scroll down for the answer! 🏠
The answer is... VERMONT! In 2024, about 45% of households had a pet cat in 2024. Despite almost 47 million households having a pet cat throughout the United States, cats are the second most popular pet in the country.

Happy Pet Professionals Week! 🐱

Working with animals can be one of the most rewarding jobs! Knowing you get to make a difference in an animals life throughout your career is HUGE! 🩷

From veterinarians and vet technicians, to groomers, wildlife biologists, shelter & rescue employees, pet sitters, and everyone in between, we are extremely grateful for everything you do. (And so are the animals, even if they can't tell you. 😉)

✨ Interested in working with animals? Shelters & rescues are always looking for volunteers! Consider helping with TNR or fostering with a great local group, such as with our friends at Feral Kitty Trappers TNR & Rescue.

PS: Visit our blog post from last year, where we were able to shout-out some of those we know who work with animals!

As we head into Independence Day, we are sure to hear plenty of fireworks! 🇺🇸

As much as we may love watching them, cats don't tend to enjoy them nearly as much as people do. ‼️ More pets go missing the first week of July than at any other point throughout the year.

Did you know July is National Lost Pets Month? 🐱

True or False... More pets go missing on the 4th of July than any other day? 🇺🇸 Leave your guess in the comments, and scroll down for the answer!
❤️💙 The answer is TRUE! More pets go missing on and around the 4th of July than any other time of the year. This is largely due to the loud sounds of fireworks, family gatherings, (doors/gates being left open), and more. Remember to keep a close eye on your pets this holiday, its our job to keep them safe!

Unfortunately, (due to circumstances out of our control) Sunday’s vaccine clinic is cancelled. 😿 we are waiting to hear on the new date. When it’s announced, we will share it with you all.

True or False... Microchipped Cats are more likely to be reunited with their owners than microchipped dogs? 🐱 Leave your guess in the comments, and scroll down for the answer!
🪪 The answer is A, TRUE! Microchipped cats are 21.4x more likely to be reunited with their home than non microchipped cats. Meanwhile, microchipped dogs are only 2.4x more likely. Still, microchipping makes it monumentally easier to return a pet to the owner.

Happy Tuesday! It's time for some Feline Facts trivia. 🍭

True or False... Cats are the only mammal that cannot taste sweetness? 🐱 Leave your guess in the comments, and scroll down for the answer!
🧁 The answer is A, TRUE! Cats lack the protein to fully taste sweet flavors. Cats have only half of the sweet taste receptors that other mammals have, so some cats can detect some sweetness at an extremely high concentration. However, they are unable to fully experience it.

What a wonderful idea

Hey! 📢 Do you have any cat, dog, or rabbit Beanie Babies in storage? Under your bed? In the attic? Don't let those babies sit in a bag--our Humane Education team needs them!
When we teach about adoptions with our littlest youth, we love to do a "mock" adoption activity where the kiddos adopt a small stuffed cat or dog! This super cute lesson teaches kids how to lovingly care for animals and the importance of adopting an animal that is a good fit for your home, family, and lifestyle. But our education team has run out of stuffies for adoption!
So, please bring your stray stuffed animals to us! Any small cat, dog, or rabbit stuffed animals can be dropped in our donation bin--labeled for "Humane Ed" please! 🐈‍⬛🐕🐇

Scholarships are available! See below for details on this amazing workshop

Want to attend the next Return-to-Home Certification Workshop for FREE? We have 33 scholarships available for our next session this WEDNESDAY, June 5th from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM ET

Do you know how many stray cats live in Disneyland? Leave your guess in the comments, and scroll down for the answer! 🐈‍⬛
The answer is C, 200! Disneyland employs around 200 feral cats that help keep rodents at bay. The cats roam the park at night in Anaheim, California, and in return, Disneyland provides them with medical care, feeding stations, and a safe place to live.
