Reviews and Comments

I've spoke with different sales representatives about reviewing items and products through my blog. This is how it works:

A company sends me a sample of their product. Depending on what that product is, I will test it and them review it for you all to read!

All these reviews and tests are animal related, specifically cat related.

I can't wait to start reviewing! Give me a comment if you are interested in me reviewing a certain item!
Thanks guys!

Feral Community Problem

Tonight in Lake County at the Courthouse, there is a meeting from 6-8 pm about our feral and community cat problem and solutions. If you care about this county , animals or our environment then please attend! It's being held in the Board of Supervisors Chambers in Lakeport. Any questions?

On another note, IF you are feeding ferals but NOT getting them spayed/neutered and vaccinated, you are just endorsing the problem! We need to cut down on the thousands and thousands of unwanted feral kittens born every year! Contact your local SPCA or vet clinic to find out deals on S/N and vaccinating a feral cat in your area. Please contribute to the solution, not the problem!

A Word On Dogs and Cars

People please....

It's hot out this summer, really hot. I don't care if you are running into the store to pick up a pint of ice cream or shopping for the month.....please please please leave your dogs home.

Not only is it unsafe to leave your dog in the car on a hot day, it's illegal.

It can literally be a killer. When its 85 degrees outside the inside of your car can heat up to 102 degrees in 10 minutes even with the windows rolled down! It can reach 120 in a half hour. Even leaving your dog in the car for a sort time can kill it. I've seen it happen! It reach 96 degrees today. That is high!

The penal code in California 597.7(A) states it is illegal to leave a pet in the car in extreme cold or cold conditions. You could face up to $500 fine or 6 month jail time.

So please, if you are planning on leaving your car with your dog inside to go to a store, even for a minute, just leave the dog home. It's not worth the dog's life or being charged with animal cruelty!!

A dog's temperature only needs to be brought up to 104 degrees to go into cardiac arrest. Dogs can suffer brain and organ damage within 15 minutes!!!

If you see a dog in distress in a car, call your local Animal Control immediately! You could save its life!

Unsure what Feline Leukemia is?

This link will tell you eveything you need to know about Feline Leukemia.

Keep in mind....if YOUR cat is tested positive for feline leukemia, there are feline leukemia postive rescues for your cat if you cannot care for it due to other cats.

Ferals and Visits

So yesterday I got to visit a home with 19 cats and 5 ferrets. It was awesome! You would never guess that they had all those animals. They took a few plastic tub and cut a hole in it and used it for a litter box. Very smart idea! The ferrets were adorable too! Many of the cats hey now have were products of abandoned mother and litter and they took them ALL in. Amazing. I am so glad there are responsible people out there that will be responsible and caring when no one else will.

I am taking on a new project: taking in ferals to work with them. I'm trying to save a few by making them adoptable. It's frustrating to see such a wild overpopulation problem in our county. This friday we are having a meeting to address the feral community problem. I hope it all works out!

I'm back Cat Lovers!!!

Sorry for the long absence! Work has been CRAZY! Basically, Spring is our big months where we get litters and litters of kittens everyday. This has been a great week at my job. We got all but 10 dogs out to rescue groups in the Bay area AND many many cats. It's has been wonderful. In my absence I received a 17 year old cat, a Seal Point Siamese Mix. He was the best cat I've ever had. I thought he had a few years left in him (I couldn't bear to think of him spending his last days at the shelter) but unfortunately he had a bad seizure a month and a half in and lost contol of his legs. So we put him down. He was an incredible cat. We named him Leonidas.




Keep in mind people, if you live in Lake County, CA we have an over abundance of pitties in this county. If you have it in your heart to adopt one of the sweeties, we always have them at our shelter!!
