Street Cats Have A Blast With Handed-Down Cat Toys
A Kansas City woman devotes her spare time to caring and feeding a semi-feral colony around her neighborhood. In addition to making sure they have food, water, and are spayed or neutered, she ensures they have time for cat shenanigans. She recently gifted the street cats toys that her cats no longer play with – and their reaction was purr-fect. Two street cats are seen in the video posted by TikTok user the.wizard.of.cats batting at a ball and happily playing together. The video was viewed by thousands who felt a mix of emotions. While...
This Blind Cat Was Returned to the Shelter Twice. Now His Forever Family Calls Him a Blessing
Little is known about the very beginning of Winkie’s life, but he certainly has had some rough early years. When he was young, he was hit by a car, which broke his back, bent his nasal cavity, chipped off some of his teeth, and stole his sight. When he was brought to the vet, one of his eyes had to be removed completely. The other is still intact but is marbleized and mostly (or possibly entirely) useless. He now walks with a sort of hopping limp, has a snaggletooth, and needs nasal medication at times to help him breathe. Sadly,...
Pet Food Donations in High Demand to Meet Needs of Those Facing Hardships

Shelters and rescues across the country are asking for help with this right now, too. Photo: Pixabay/sweetlouise Rising Prices With the cost of everything...
Canadian German Shepherd Takes The Internet By Storm With Her Impressive Hockey Goalie Skills
It’s always interesting to see how quickly dogs pick up on new tricks. At one point, I had two little dogs: a miniature Goldendoodle and a Yorkie-pomeranian mix. The Goldendoodle was eager to please and would perform new tricks almost without training! It was as if he just innately knew what to do. The other dog, however, was more cat-like in her desire to learn new skills. She’d know what I was asking but would choose whether or not she wanted to follow through. It was nearly impossible to get her to do basic commands like...
Carriage Horse, Ryder, Who Collapsed On A Manhattan Street Months Ago Has Died
In August, an underweight and malnourished carriage horse named Ryder collapsed on a Manhattan street from what appeared to be heat exhaustion.

Lab Terrified of Halloween Cutout Kitties Captured in Video
A large black Lab caught on a recent TikTok video is a scaredy cat when it comes to Halloween decorations. His name is Maverick, and the footage of him frozen among the decorations is hysterical. It’s as if Medusa laid eyes on him, and he unwittingly returned her gaze. It seems that the handsome pooch is not a fan of cats, period, and when he discovered the display, he was nearly paralyzed among them. The video has garnered so many views and is so hysterically funny that even CNN had to investigate. Photo: Pixabay/bhumann34 Halloween...

Teenager Protects a Cockatiel from Her Uncle’s Rude Behavior
As a pet parent, part of your duty is to protect your beloved pets from danger. You need to ensure their safety, whether the harm is at home or outdoors.

And if that kind of person has access to your house, pets can be disturbed. It’ll be up to you to take a stand and give your pet the protection it needs. Photo: PxHere/Ivan Sitnikov When a...
A Woman Claims to Be the Owner of a Missing Cat, But Cat’s New Family Is Wary
It’s saddening to know that some stray cats are left in the streets even before their owners give them identification. Finding their home is difficult if there is no collar or microchip. Sometimes they are just left neglected in the streets — hoping that a caring human notices them. Sadly, those cats often find themselves stuck in areas where humans cannot see them. It’s a hard life in the streets for a cat with no identity. Photo: Unsplash/Manuel Rheinschmidt Such cases are often caused by running away from home and owners...
