The Treat App is amazing
All you do is roll the dice, collect kibble and Chewy sends packages to the dog shelter you chose. It is free, but you can upgrade for as little as $5.00 a month to send other items.

Shelters are overcrowded and can use all the help they can get.

To all of you who Rescue the broken and damaged, who bring them back to life and help them live their best life... Thank You!

“I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter…the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. “God,” I said, “this is terrible! Why don’t you do something?” God was silent for a moment and then he spoke softly. “I have done something,” He replied. “I created You.” ~ Jim Willis~

Going to reiterate this:
Christmas is one week away.

Don't buy a horse for your kid or grandkids. Buy them a year's worth of lessons.
Don't buy a puppy. Schedule weekly dates with them to go volunteer at a shelter, or sign up to foster a dog!

That time spent is way better than another dog at the shelter or horse headed to Mexico. And it's something you can share, then make a better educated decision after a year.

If they're not willing to do that work, they won't be committed to it daily when it's in your house or your pasture.

These are the dogs I've sponsored and were rescued via the Treat App.
It costs you nothing. You just roll the dice, virtually pet the dogs and earn kibble. Kibble turns into real treats and food the Chewy delivers (yes you get notified when it happens!)
There are a lot of shelters in need and this is 1 way to help that doesn't cost you but a few minutes of your time. Link below!
It may not have your favorite shelter listed, but pick any shelter .. they all need our help!

Every rescue is in need of help from us. They're over crowded. Please consider adoption when considering your next Furry friend.
Stop abandoning your animals. They are a lifetime commitment. They'd rather be home on your couch waiting for you then lonely, alone and confused in a shelter.

This year the shelter is on track to get 7,000 dogs. That's roughly 2,000 more this year than what ACCT Philly took in 2022.

Animals suffer when we are not responsible.
Stop abandoning your pets!
Rowan would be alive if her humans didn't fail her!

It's been a bad day!

If anyone wonders if they should neuter their cat or not, I hope the following will steer you in the responsible direction.

Rowan came into our care last Friday. She was heavily pregnant, she'd had a litter in May and was about to produce another. She'd had at least two litters of kittens a year for the last 5 years.

She was living outdoors, but had clearly been a pet cat. She was desperate to get into a house. So we took her, despite having no pens to put her in. The Glasgow adoption centre had offered a pen, if we could get her up there.

However, the vets felt she was too near giving birth and was already exhausted with over breeding.

So she came into my spare bedroom, quickly altered and registered as an emergency foster room. I already have two pens in my garden with a family of cats in one and a poorly cat in another.

We waited, but no sign of kittens. Rowan was infested with worms, vomiting them up and having dreadful diarrhoea as well.
We watched and waited as we hoped for a labour to start. Nothing. Vets attended throughout the week and advised...nothing.

This cat was too exhausted to make contractions and lay listless.

Last night labour started, but no contractions. This morning it was clear Rowan was in trouble and an emergency dash to the vets was had.
She stayed with them, worn out and past it. They did everything they could to support her labour...but still no energy to make contractions. It was decided our only option was an emergency caesarean.

This afternoon, two vets attended Rowan and did their best for her. Sadly she didn't make it and went into cardiac arrest just as they were sewing her up. Her body was exhausted, worn out, starved due to feeding and making kittens. She was all kitten, with a bloated belly, but all else was skin and bone...literally.

We lost this dear little cat today on the operating table, but before she left us, she gave life to 6 kittens. She starved herself of life to give them life.

They will never know the warmth and safety of their mothers belly, her teats full of milk, her smell to comfort them and her skill sets to teach them.

This little cat gave her life, because she's hard wired to breed, breed, breed. Her body was literally worn out, drained of any fat, muscle or nutrients. Her pelvis and uterus were also worn out. When this happens, cats can't contract and complete their birthing process ....it's a pretty crap way to die.

So if you think it's okay to leave your UN neutered female out and about from 4 months of age...it's not! If you think it's ok to leave your 4 month old male out and about with his trouble truffles in place...it's not.

I've spent the last week watching a cat slowly die, because her owner didn't think she should get neutered. She was 5 years old.

Female cats can get pregnant from 4 months of age, really not good for them! They can get pregnant one week after giving birth to kittens. Having two litters of kittens a year will drastically shorten a female cats life.

So spare a thought for your cat if it's not neutered.

This branch offers a generous neutering scheme in the DG8 and DG9 area (Scotland). If you are out with this area, please contact your local branch to enquire about their neutering scheme. For £10 a cat you can get it neutered.
Simply email [email protected]

If you still think it's not kind to neuter your cat.....spare a thought for Rowan tonight, who died of breeding exhaustion and leaves 6 orphaned kittens behind.

Personally, I'm sick of hearing about accidental litters of kittens arriving. It's not rocket science, if you let your female cat outdoors and she's not neutered, she's going to get pregnant!! Get this, if you have a male and female cat as
pets and they're not neutered....they're going to breed.

RIP Rowan...you deserved so much better😿
