Cyndy Cares

Not every cat will find a cozy home, a full bowl, or someone to call their own. While we may not have the ability to care for every stray, we can choose to leave them in peace rather than adding to their struggles. A frightened cat deserves patience, a hungry one deserves compassion, and every cat deserves to exist without being mistreated. Sometimes, respecting an animal's space and choosing gentleness is a meaningful act of kindness.

With wildfire smoke affecting air quality across our region, it's important to remember that our animal companions are breathing the same air we are.

Smoke and fine particles can irritate their eyes and airways and may be especially dangerous for young, senior, or animal companions with heart or respiratory conditions.

Here are a few simple ways to help keep your animal companions safe during this time:

Limit outdoor time. Keep walks short and avoid strenuous exercise until air quality improves. Consider indoor enrichment instead of long walks or trips to the dog park.

Keep animal companions indoors as much as possible. Close windows and doors and, if available, use air conditioning or an air purifier to help improve indoor air quality.

Provide plenty of fresh water. Staying hydrated helps support your animal companion's overall health.

Watch for signs of smoke irritation, including:

➡️ Coughing or gagging
➡️ Sneezing or wheezing
➡️ Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing
➡️ Eye redness or discharge
➡️ Lethargy or unusual tiredness

If your animal companion shows any of these signs, move them into a cleaner indoor environment and contact your veterinarian for advice. If they are having significant difficulty breathing, seek veterinary care immediately.

Some animal companions are at greater risk, including:

➡️ Flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs, and Persian cats
➡️ Puppies and kittens
➡️ Senior animal companions
➡️ Animal companions with asthma, heart disease, or other respiratory conditions

Be safe out there. 💙

Warmer weather means LEAVING YOUR PET at home. Even with the windows ‘cracked’ your vehicle interior can quickly become overheated. Check these facts:

“The fastest temperature rise happens in the first 10 to 30 minutes, and objects like dashboards and seats get significantly hotter than the surrounding air.”

I won’t be “dog”matic about this, but I do believe animals go to heaven! Though Scripture doesn’t explicitly say, there are verses in Isaiah, Revelation and Genesis including the fact that of all creation, only humans and animals have the breath of life!

Love doesn’t disappear when someone we love is gone. It stays with us in every quiet moment and every memory we hold close. Our pets leave behind a bond that time cannot erase. Even when we cannot see them, their presence still feels near. Maybe one day, that love will guide us back to them again. 🌈 🐕 ❤️‍🩹
