This is Lana. She is about 10 years old, and desperately needs a new home.
She belonged to my sister (now deceased) and then my mother (also now deceased).
She’s the worlds most cuddly cat. All Lana wants is to be picked up and pet. She’s never gotten the amount of love she properly deserves, but has remained sweet regardless.
I don’t live in a situation where I can keep her, but I’m trying to avoid putting her into a shelter.
We’re in Virginia, but I’m willing to drive her anywhere on the east coast if it means she will be given a good home!
Please repost so she gets more views! Help Lana find the forever home she deserves!

CW: Pet loss ❤️‍🩹
(sad but non-traumatic memorial post)
I had to say goodbye to my cat Beistle on Monday.
He was an unhappy dude when we met last January; stressed, hiding, and with a poor appetite. The staff knew he was at least 10 and as old as 16.
Tumblr media
His only friend was his brother, Bigby. They’d been together since birth, and we adopted both.
The boys were skittish and shy, but clearly happy to be together in a new home. They’d had a hard time in the past and it took time to earn their trust.
Tumblr media
Beistle had health issues over the months, but it didn’t stop him from flourishing.
Tumblr media
His ears perked back up. He was interested in playing and cuddling. He gained weight and his coat got silky. He liked to lay in the sun, get belly rubs, and fall asleep against my side at night.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
His passing was sudden but painless, and my partner and I cradled him until the end.
We knew we might not have long with Beistle, but it was worth it. It makes my heart so full to see his recent pictures, where he looks glossy and content. He knew he was loved.
Tumblr media
To be loved is to be changed. 🖤

...... Can my fluffy be they get a dog named fluffy at a pet store together
Wanda+Nat+us(y/n)
Fluffy
Pairing: WandaNat x Reader
Words: 1k~
Warnings: none, just fluff, fluffy, very fluffy, all puns intended
A/N: I changed it from a pet store to an animal shelter, I hope that is ok. Thank you so much for the request anon! I hope you enjoy! ❤️
Tumblr media
"We have two litters of puppies at the moment, a set of terrier mixes and another group that is probably a mix of lab and german shepherd," Mary, the shelter volunteer says as she leads the three women through the kennels.
It has taken a while, but Wanda and Y/n were finally successful in convincing Natasha that Liho needs a friend. They had considered getting another cat, but having a dog is something that Y/n has wanted her entire life.
Her parents never allowed her to have a pet growing up, despite her begging for a dog since she was old enough to speak.
Natasha and Wanda are so tightly wrapped around her finger, Y/n only had to ask once and they immediately agreed.
Thats how they ended up here. In the animal shelter, they walk through rows of pins, each filled with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Most of the dogs wag their tails and barking excitedly as the group passes.
They come to a stop in front of a kennel with five black and brown puppies inside. "These are the shepherd mixes," Mary says as she opens the kennel door, so the women can go inside to pet and play with the puppies. "They're around 8 weeks old. They came in with their mom about a month ago."
One of the puppies jumps into Natasha's lap and gives her a big, slobbery lick on her cheek. Her two girlfriends try to hold back their giggles while she grimaced.
"They are all great dogs, friendly, playful," Mary nods her head in the direction of the smallest one, "that little brown one is a rascal though."
Y/n reaches out her hand to pet the puppy in question. He lets her pet him twice, then decides he'd rather wrestle with her, playfully nipping and pawing at her hand.
"Here," Mary opens the kennel door for them to exit, "the other litter is down here."
The four of them continue their trip down the rows. They look into the pins as they pass, and they can't help but smile.
As soon as the dogs catch sight of them, they stop their playing or eating or even sleeping and run to the doors. The women get their full attention as they paw at the kennel doors excitedly.
All except one.
"Who is this?" Wanda asks coming to a halt in front of a particular kennel on the left. She was the only one to spot him since the others were looking to the right.
The other three stop and turn to the cage she is pointing to.
Inside lays a golden retriever, clearly much older than the other dogs. The fur on his face has all gone white. The fur on his paws and tail have also begun to lose the tan color of the rest of his fur. He slowly raises his head when they stop in front of him.
"That's Fluffy," Mary sighs.
"Fluffy?" Natasha raises an eyebrow with a smirk.
Mary chuckles, "my niece named him when he came in.”
Fluffy rises from his bed in the corner and approaches them through the kennel door. His slow movements betray his age.
"How long has he been here?" Y/n asks, kneeling in front of the dog to greet him.
"7 years," the volunteer opens the kennel, but doesn't bother closing them inside. The poor thing is too old to try and take off. "He's our oldest current resident."
Fluffy sits between the women, soaking up all the attention he can get. His tail wags slightly at the pets he is being showered with.
Wanda looks up from the sweet dog, "how old is he?"
"12, part of the reason he's been here so long. He's the sweetest dog, but most people want a puppy or a younger dog who can actually play with them. Fluffy spends most of his time laying around and sleeping."
Natasha scratches under his chin, and he leans into her touch, "how did he end up here?"
"Was he abandoned?" Y/n asks.
Mary smiles sadly, "no, thankfully not abandoned or abused. He had a great home, but his owners died in a car wreck. They didn't really have family to take him in. So, he was brought here. We've been trying to find him a forever home, but no luck."
Fluffy lays down, placing his head Y/n's lap. She strokes his head gently, feeling like she has finally found the furry friend she has been begging for her whole life.
She looks up to her girlfriends, hoping for some kind of approval. The three of them look to each other and they all know.
They found the one.
Natasha stands and begins speaking with Mary about the adoption process, while Y/n and Wanda sit with Fluffy telling him about his new home and his fur sister, Liho, and how he is going to be cared for for the rest of his life.
"Here we go."
15 minutes later, Wanda holds the shelter door open while Y/n exits with a leash in her hand. They both coax Fluffy out of the door and onto the sidewalk outside.
Natasha and Mary follow close behind. The volunteer holds out a bag for Natasha, "here this is for you."
"What's this?" the red head takes the bag and peaks inside. There's a stuffed animal, several chew toys and a couple blankets.
"It's for him," Mary smiles, "some of the volunteers liked to give him presents on his birthday."
She kneels in front of the dog to say goodbye. "You're finally going home buddy. I think you're gonna like it there; you hit the dog-mom jackpot.” She gives him a final kiss and chin scratch, “you better behave. I told them you were a good boy, don't make me a liar," she playfully scolds before standing again.
"We'll take good care of him," Wanda promises.
The volunteer smile, "I'm not worried. Thank you so much for taking him in."
"Come on, Fluffy," Y/n scratches his head and lightly tugs the lead.
They wave goodbye, and the three women begin the walk to take care of their first order of business: take their new fur baby to the pet store and spoil him rotten.
Fluffy walks along between them, wagging his tail happily. After 7 long years in a shelter, he is finally going home, with a family he will have forever.
Three moms who are going to love and spoil him for the rest of his life.
He must be the luckiest dog in the world.

Emergency Kitten Foster Tips
I’ve beaten the statistics with my foster newborn kittens and I’d thought I’d share advice on how I did it. However, I recommend always contacting a vet before doing anything listed.
do NOT give your kitten cold milk
do NOT feed your kitten while it’s cold
you need a kitten formula mix up until around 8 weeks of age (my kitten is slower than usual at learning how to eat solid/wet food as he is a runt and is 4 weeks old. You can try around 5 weeks but monitor them closely.)
do NOT squeeze the bottle when feeding kittens, this can cause them to aspirate the milk and it will kill them.
rice in a sock warmed up for 40 seconds and placed under a blanket in the kittens enclosure helps A LOT. I noticed my kitten LOVES the scent of jasmine rice, it might be a pheromone thing, versus white rice. He snuggles up to it and attempts nursing when he misses his momma.
Buy a fake heart beat box for kittens on amazon (they cost around 19.99) they definitely help the kitten calm down and feel safer in their enclosure. 
feed your kitten while standing up or on their belly, NEVER feed them with their heads tilted back/on their back.
Wash out their bottles REALLY well, they are very prone to illness.
Do not give them old milk, make them a new bottle each time.
Do not get water/milk in their nose or ears.
You can use a few granules of miralax if your kitten is constipated, please ask a veterinarian before use.
Create a routine as you will have to feed them every 2 hours for the first 4 weeks.
Do not overfeed your kitten, when they stop, you stop. You can try again later if they are not interested in the bottle.
Keep other animals away from the kitten for the first 4 weeks, unfortunately it was nearly impossible for me and my cats would pull him out of his bed almost every night so I had to make a spot in the bathtub for him.
Keep the kitten warm, NOT HOT, make sure the area the kitten is in is well ventilated and they have room to move away from the heat source if needed.
Stimulate your kitten to use the bathroom with a warm rag and circular motions, both pee and poop.

We were kicked out by our landlords because they wanted to sell the place. It was super traumatic. I'm autistic and is just..its been bad for my mental health, I mean I'm happy I have a roof over my head but I need help with the essentials. My pets come before anything else. My pets came with me during the move. Bills are piling up but I'm not even asking for help with the bills. I know there's agencies that can help me. I'm asking for help to buy pet food and pet supplies. I'm on my last bag and I need help.
(its my moms)
Cashapp $jmortiz78550
Venmo jmortiz78550

I'm currently a college student trying to make our lives better but I need help while we are living month to month on disability checks. Thank you if you read this far. I appreciate everything and if you can't donate please boost.

Cat Returned to Shelter After Just 4 Days Finally Finds True Forever Home

Cat Returned to Shelter After Just 4 Days Finally Finds True Forever Home
A cat who spent just over six months in a shelter, and was even returned from a potential home, has finally found the perfect family. Red was surrendered to the Australian Animal Protection Society (AAPS) shelter in Victoria, Australia. Unable to care for her because they were relocating overseas, Red waited in the shelter but […]

We've applied for free neutering for the five former ferals, and hopefully they'll also have a free vet available too. But that part is doubtful. The kittens don't seem to be gaining weight, so they probably have worms, and they're way too young for over the counter medicine for it. They also just started noticeably having stuffy noses last night :/
You can donate at our gofundme for them here. The goal is set at 700, erring very heavily on the side of "assume it's expensive" for vet care.
Here's Gizmo, who literally crawled into my hand to use it as a bed, making me legally obligated not to move my hand at all for the next half hour:
Tumblr media
[ID: A photo of a small black and white kitten sleeping on a person's lap in front of a black laptop, with her head resting on the person's hand like a pillow. The person is wearing a blue shirt, and the photo is very slightly motion blurred. End ID.]
Every kitten but Taaz, who seems to be the loner of the group, are 100% lap cats now. As I type this Eclipse is sitting on my lap sleeping.
We can't keep these guys because we already have cats of our own, unfortunately, so at some point we are hoping to find someone willing to adopt them and keep them inside.

DFW cat in need of home/vet attention!!!
this is a very long shot but I'm struggling to figure out what to do here
there's this stray cat around my apartment i've been feeding for a few months and she showed up to me today with her nose torn to shreds and i really want to get her into a home bc i don't want her to be outside anymore with an injury this bad. I've been calling animal/cat rescues all morning and none of them will help me for various reasons and I'm struggling to figure out what to do.
she's a very nice cat she follows me around and meows at me and loves attention, i cant take her because i already have four cats between me and my roommate.
this isnt time sensitive as it's not like i have her trapped and in my apt i'm just trying to find someone that would be willing to take her and then i can work on trapping her. rn i'm getting some antiseptic to spray on her nose until i get something else figured out.
again im in the DFW area, reblogs to maybe get this in the eyes of people who might be able to take her appreciated :( Photo of the kitty under the cut im sort of censoring it bc it's a photo of her nose injury;

Fabio has captured the hearts of everyone who has met him. He has unfortunately spent most of his life with abusive owners, not deserving what happened to him. However he hasn't let that get him down and overcomes new challenges everyday. Since coming to live with me he has improved greatly and with help of this surgery he can live a relatively normal pain free life. Without it everyday is painful and a struggle just to eat.

An Open Letter To Whoever Did This:
Tumblr media
Cool. So you took this absolutely beautiful 1-2 year old dog and tied her by her harness and leash to a post, leaving her in the sun, in the grass, at the end of a literal dead-end road where only a handful of people would’ve stood a chance at finding her. Her entire body itches. She isn’t spayed. She has pressure sores from being tied up somewhere and left for extensive periods aside from this last time. If the elements didn’t hurt her, then the local coyotes sure as hell would have as soon as the sun went down. But you know what you forgot to do?
Tumblr media
Didn’t microchip her, and guess who’s a registered fosterer?! Welcome home Penelope! 
Penny appears to be a Catahoula Leopard Hound/Black Mouth Cur mix. From her emergency vet visit paid for by good Samaritans, she’s a little underfed and needs to be spayed at least, but she’s otherwise been healthy, happy, and overjoyed since the moment she set foot here! She’ll be getting her full workup at my family vet very soon, vaccinated, tested for disease/parasites, screened for any other underlying health conditions, and spayed.
Tumblr media
Penny (unashamedly named after my favorite character on Criminal Minds, Penelope Garcia, as well as after Penelope from The Odyssey) spent most of the day running and playing with her new toys on our 5 acres of rural wilderness, grasslands, and ponds. She gives wonderful hugs and kisses and is extremely intelligent. She has wonderful manners already and hasn’t even needed to be housebroken. She’s a very good girl and lets us know if she needs to go outside by going to the door and ringing a bell. She gives tackle-hugs when she’s too excited to contain herself, is already learning new commands, and making friends! She already has a play-date with my weed vendor’s new Blue Heeler puppy.
Tumblr media
Penny and my almost-year-old kitten Nimue are still a little unsure of each other. Nimue isn’t thrilled about having a giant in the house, but she’s very tolerant and only lets her know not to get in her personal space. Penny only needed to be warned to mind her space once, and now does everything she can to give Nimue all the sense of safety and security in our home she needs to feel secure.
It took about an afternoon before they were napping together with nobody hissing and nobody whining! She’s already play buddies with our 14-year-old doxie, Eragon, who grew a new pep in his step the moment they set eyes on each other and now likes to steal her toys and hide them in his own bed for their canine games of treasure-hunt.
She only arrived early this afternoon, but I already love her. She’s excellent at heeling and coming when she’s called, and is already learning tricks like, “Go get your toy!” Although, if she isn’t sure which toy she wants to play with, she’s still at the stage where she gets excited and barks. 
She’s a very, very good girl. I was out taking her on a walk just earlier, and my neighbor (who seems to always want a reason to piss off his other neighbors) shouted at me from across our respective properties. He has a yellow lab that he never keeps on a leash and doesn’t have a fence to keep it in, so it regularly digs into ours to use our front yard as its personal latrine.
I didn’t respond and took Penny back inside. I’m not the idiot that can’t recognize their own dog, and frankly, I’ve missed having a canine companion since the passing of my 12-year-old baby, Sean, a few months ago. I miss him very much, and Penny is helping to heal that pain already. I absolutely love how big she is, and I don’t feel anxious or scared to go outside if she’s with me, even with the neighbor yelling at me about stealing his dog and trying to make a scene. I would’ve engaged him, but Penny was already flattening her ears and snarling at him the way I was on the inside, and he quickly muttered a “My mistake,” when she bore her giant hunting-dog teeth at him :)
