News From One of Our Dedicated Volunteers

I'm one of Naomi's cat-wranglers at PetSmart in Stroudsburg. I always greet the people who stop to look at the cats with "You KNOW you want one!" and we usually strike up a conversation. Also, when I leave the cats, I tell them "I hope that you aren't here next week because you find a wonderful forever home."

I have 7 cats of my own (almost all rescues or ferals) but my heart goes out to the PetSmart cats.

Holiday Dangers!

The biggest hazards to pets on Thanksgiving include:

Rich, fatty foods (turkey skins, gravy, etc,) can contribute to pancreatitis. This gland inflammation is painful and can be serious-requiring emergency veterinary assistance.
Cooked bones can splinter and cause tears or obstruction in a pet's digestive tract.
Baking strings, if ingested, can create trouble if ingested by your pet.
Onions in holiday stuffing can lead to canine anemia if consumed by your dog.
Grapes and raisin toxins can cause kidney failure in pets.
Ingesting chocolate can cause seizures or kill your pet.
Caffeine and alcohol are also toxic for pets.

The solution? Keep all goodies out of reach! Preventative safety measures are the best strategies so store leftover food out of reach and in tightly closed containers. Next, make sure garbage cans are secured to keep critters out so they are safe from e-coli and unable to chew on leftover tinfoil.
