🐈 WESTLEY, BINDI & GIZMO 🐈
Our first little trio for the year, now ready to find their forever homes!
WESTLEY
GAR 2381 - Male - 3 months old - DSH - M/CHIP 956000017352550
Westley adores playing and wrestling and would love to go to a home with lots of fun things to see and do - cat towers and cardboard boxes being the best places he loves to hide in! He just wants to be where the people are and often follows humans around the house (just in case they decide to give him some more food that he so dearly loves)

Bindi is the perfect mix between fun, play mate kitten, and cuddle soft furry companion! Bindi enjoys getting into EVERYTHING - boxes, bags, and anything she can possibly climb. She even tried to fit her head into a roll of wrapping paper recently!

Meet Herbie – the Love Bug!
Just like his famous namesake, Herbie is charming, and full of personality — with a heart that runs entirely on love. This gorgeous boy has a silky-smooth coat and an irresistible habit of zooming straight into your personal space for cuddles.
Herbie loves people more than anything. He’ll bump into you for head rubs, curl up in your lap like he’s found his parking spot, and roll onto his back to make enthusiastic “air biscuits” with his paws. While he’s still young and has a playful spark, he’s mostly interested in cruising alongside you for pats, cuddles, and companionship.
He gets along well with dogs and other cats, but would be just as happy being your one-star driver and soaking up all the attention himself. If you’re looking for a loyal little co-pilot who wants to be wherever you are, Herbie the Love Bug is ready to roll into your life. Herbie has been an indoor only cat and must continue to do so in his new home.
Herbie is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.

Is it too hot to walk your dog? ☀️🐾
With the warm weather upon us, the temperature can be deceiving. Even when the air temperature feels manageable, footpaths, roads and pavers can become hot enough to burn paw pads and increase the risk of heat stroke.
Before heading out, always test the ground temperature:
Place the back of your hand on the surface for 10 seconds. If it feels hot or uncomfortable, it’s not safe for your dog’s paws.
Safe walking temperatures (guide only):
12–19°C – Generally safe
20–23°C – Low risk
24-27°C – Moderate risk
28–31°C – High risk of heat stress and paw burns
32°C+ – Severe risk for all dogs
Dogs more sensitive to heat — including brachycephalic breeds, puppies, large breeds, and dogs with medical conditions — may struggle at temperatures above 16°C.
On warmer days, opt for early morning or evening walks, shorter outings, or indoor enrichment instead.
Signs of heat stroke include:
Excessive panting, drooling, noisy breathing, vomiting, pale or bright red gums, unsteadiness, confusion, seizures or collapse.
🚨 Heat stroke is a medical emergency. If you notice these signs, seek urgent veterinary care.
When in doubt, skip the walk — staying cool is always the safest choice! 🐾

Let's hope Common Sense prevails for those precious paws ❤️
And the idiots who sit outside cafes on hot pavers with their dogs
It’s so frustrating to see, especially when you know the harm it can cause. Dogs don’t get a choice, and a lot of people really underestimate how dangerous heat can be for them. Sadly, people who personally enjoy the heat often assume their dogs feel the same way, forgetting that dogs cool themselves very differently and that hot pavements can seriously burn their paws. What gets me is that so many of these walks could easily be shifted to early morning or late evening with no downside at all. It’s just awareness and empathy that’s missing.
So frustrating when you see the joggers dragging their dog with them,so trendy, poor dog.
