When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

Cumin is a shy 4yo tuxedo who’s finally coming out of his shell. He can go home with Basil, Parsley, Posh Spice, or Habanero—familiar faces help. Very food motivated and gentle. 🌿 #Tucson #AdoptDontShop #WhiskersNWishes

I love that you can show a dangly toy to a kitten for the first time and they instantly understand What Must Happen

Coogie is 1 year old, gray & white, and has been waiting 123 days for absolutely no good reason. She’s young, she’s lovely, she’s ready. Come get her. 🩶 #Tucson #AdoptDontShop #WhiskersNWishes

I haven’t talked much about one of our kittens, because he has been probably my toughest socialization case to date that should have been simple. His name is Gingersnap, part of the Spice Rack colony, & we’ve had him since May when he was 🤏 this 🤏 big. He spent a lot of time w/4 different fosters.

We’ve tried keeping him with friendly siblings, just one brother, splitting him up to work with one-on-one. We’ve tried free-roam, semi-confinement, & solo-crating. We just haven’t found what makes him feel like he can trust people. I’ve considered trying gabapentin or even Prozac.

He hasn’t lived outside since he was small and relied on his mom. Asking him to transition to a barn cat would be so stressful for him because he doesn’t have those life skills like an experienced outdoor cat would have. He’s stuck in an unfortunate foster limbo.

Everyone else in his kitten group became friendly & sweet pretty quickly, and they were well within the socialization window. Every foster spent at least a month with him & we all tried different approaches. He’s never got to where he was comfortable allowing touch; he often growls, hisses & swats.

Right now he is laying in his little bed purring away and making slow blinks at me but if I sit up & reach for him, he becomes fearful & reactive. The furthest we have gotten him is begrudging touching while Churu is being eaten, but he won’t build on that (once Churu is done, so is his tolerance.)

Although from different litters, Snuffleupagus and Zoe, are bonded. Like true best friends, they help make each other braver. We have lots of adoptable kittens! #bonded #snuffleupagus #gettingbraver #adoptable

Just a guy who heard enemas were all the rage in the Victorian Age and wanted to try keepin’ things Old School. (Daikon had a visit to the vet to get his butt gently unstuck yesterday and it was a success. He is feeling much better now).

Let's fund a spay abort! I'm going to use some of the desexing money you lovely people have donated and help out a friend. This girl was in a very similar situation to Robin, and after probably getting pregnant again, they told my friend Erica to "FINE, just take her."

Dopey is a 2yo tuxedo and FeLV+, which means he needs an indoor home, ideally solo or with other FeLV+ cats. He’s been waiting 144 days and he is so worth it. 🖤 #Tucson #AdoptDontShop #WhiskersNWishes

This is Duck. Duck is the smallest kitten, but she had excellent weight gains yesterday and she is very grateful for everyone's help in giving her mama the best food. I've just gone and bought everything you sent using throne!

Pretty Boy (2, orange) has been returned twice. He is friendly, gorgeous, and needs a barn or working cat home. He’s a nipper, so traditional indoor life isn’t his fit. 263 days waiting for the right setup. 🍊 #Tucson #AdoptDontShop #WhiskersNWishes

www.wedgewood.com/recall-lookup/ You can look up your pet’s specific medication using the information on the label. This looks like it affects just about every pet med compounded since February— the concern is testing inconsistencies which may have led to too little potency or too much potency.

And for many of us, call your vets that use this compounding pharmacy to see if what they've sent home in their labeled bottles is affected - their prescription labels have no lot numbers (specifically looking at gabapentin tiny tabs, which are commonly prescribed and filled at the vet office)

While it does seem that much of the recall surrounds oral liquid meds, there are a bunch where the tablet or capsule forms are also affected, so be sure to check your actual product sku on the label to see if your meds are on the recall list.

Kenna + I just returned from vet where she “tried to eat their heads” during X-rays. Their words. 🫣 We’ve tried + we’ve tried but Kenna’s colon continues to be impacted. It’s so urgent that she’s scheduled for surgery tomorrow. Can you help us help Kenna the bipod cat? www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

Crits For Cats, Inc. Cat Rescue reposted

I don’t want to be dramatic but if Kenna doesn’t get this surgery, she could die. An impacted colon is serious + we’ve tried everything to avoid surgery but her intestines are too blocked. She’s been with us since she was 3 weeks old and we adore her. Any donation amount helps. 💔 #cats
