I Write to Save Lives #RememberTheRescue

Hello, and Happy Thursday Purrsday! If you read this post you know that Lexy and I (oh, and Mommy, too) are proud to be official partners with Helen Woodward Animal Center for Remember Me Thursday. We received a box of items to help us promote this oh-so-important day, which included this great sign. 

Healthier Pets. Happier Lives.™ with Hills Science Diet #HillsTransformingLives

I’m embarrassed to admit this, but 25+ years ago I did not take my cats to the veterinarian on a regular basis. When my cats weren’t well or when I noticed that something wasn’t right I brought them in right away, but preventative care was not routinely scheduled. Fast forward to the present… I’ve learned so much since then, and now I make sure my cats are seen by my veterinarian regularly. 

Throwback Thursday - The Kitchen Window

Hello, and Happy Thursday Purrsday!  I'm purring today because I found a great photo to share with you!  I haven't done a Throwback Thursday post in a while, so I meowed to myself, I meowed "I should take a look into the photo archives of my book and see what I was doing back then." Great idea, huh? 

Well, this is what I was doing during the summer of 2011... I was lounging in the kitchen window. Some things never change, and if they're good things, they shouldn't. Right?

Why are you purring today? Tell us!

A Behind the Scenes Peek at Best Friends' NYC Pet Adoption Center

When I was at Cat Camp  this past March my favorite spot was the adoption area. It was great to see so many local shelters participating (such as The Patricia H. Ladew Foundation) as well as great organizations such as Best Friends Animal Society. I was happy to learn that Best Friends was opening an adoption center right here in New York City. I have a lot of respect for Best Friends and applaud their endeavors to give all animals the best life they deserve and for their efforts to make the USA “No-Kill” by 2025. You can imagine how happy I was that Lola The Rescued Cat was accepted as a Best Friend’s Ambassador this past July! 

Paws Together for Texas: How to Help Animals Affected by Harvey

As Hurricane Harvey continues to wreak devastation on Texas, our thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been affected by this disaster. As happens all too often during a natural disaster, not all shelters allow pets. This leaves many families having to make difficult decisions. Some pets end up in shelters (hopefully temporarily until they can be reunited with their families), some are abandoned, and some are lost. Let’s not forget the animals who are in shelters in the affected areas, as well as the number of homeless animals living on the street.
