Love, beloved ones, is to be shared. The love that radiates from your hearts into the hearts of all is a communication to the four legged, winged, and finned brethren. We speak to one another in this way. Yet know, oh beloved ones, that humans are not the superior ones. You are not above creation. You are one and the same in heart and soul. Therefore, open your hearts to the love that radiates into you from the eyes and heart wheel of the ones you name "pets". They are here for you to open your hearts. It is better to love and lose, than never to be loved, or love at all. Your human life span will outlive the years of the furry ones you invite into your home temporarily. Beloved humans, the come to bring your heart center and root into you the channel of divine love. How often have you heard of human cruelty "they treat that one like an animal?" Yet what animal would deserve any cruelty no matter how small? We are all one. You are all the continuum of life. Open your hearts. Open wide, and the furry or feathered or finned brethren will sing into your ears sounds of love that will vibrate deep to your core. As wise Chief Joseph prayed to the South Direction: We are all part of the web of life. What humans do to the small animals, they do to themselves. Beloved, the mission is love. Look into the eyes of the sentient beings all around you. Pay your attention to their ministries. They come to bring you back to your heart. Open your hearts. Love again, love alway, love every where, love every time. This is what you are creators for. Receive, and give. welcome kindness again and send it out tenfold. and then watch for it to come back to you one hundred fold. Love, Your Brother, D.K. o

Acupuncture and Laser Therapy for pets is based on Chinese Medicine that harnesses the energy meridians of the body and electro-magnetic field. Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine is made up of four treatment modalities: Acupuncture, Chinese herbal therapy, Tui Na and food therapy. To learn more, visit Great Paws https://www.greatpawsvet.com/acupuncture-and-chinese-herbal-medicine.pml What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture was first performed in China over 3000 years ago. This ancient technique involves placing fine needles into special points on the body to provoke a healing response. Aquapuncture is a similar technique where a small volume of fluid is injected over the acupuncture point to stimulate the point over a longer period of time.

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine https://www.pcrm.org/: California' s groundbreaking 2018 law, which banned the sale of animal-tested cosmetics, and similar laws on the books in eight other states, are safe. The Senate also passed by unanimous consent the FDA Modernization Act, which encourages the use of nonanimal test methods for the testing of new drugs. This provision must now be passed by the U.S. House. The Physicians Committee will continue to advocate to Congress to ensure we’re advancing ethical science while protecting animals from the cruelties of animal testing.

What to do with feral kittens Do’s and Don’ts “We have a kitten without its mom. What do we do?? Friends in the county live on a farm, rural property. The first question I asked is “Where is the mother?” The most, very most important thing for a kitten less than 4 weeks is the mother’s milk. The colostrum passed on is the most important preparation for a healthy, happy life. Mother’s milk contains the antibodies that are the building blocks of a healthy immune system. In this case, the kitten was separated from the mother, who had rejected the kitten, and was in danger of being culled and destroyed by another feral female. “Nuff said. Let’s get to work. Warmth · A chilled kitten can’t eat. A chilled kitten will die without additional warmth. A covered heating pad or hot water bottle—use it immediately. Place it halfway so that kitten can move if too warm. Good sign if she does. Age Use this outline to determine age and what to do next: (Credits to Friends of Feral Felines) · Under one week: Eyes shut, ears flat to head, skin looks pinkish. Part of umbilical cord may still be attached. · 1 week- 10 days: Eyes beginning to open, ears still flat. A kitten this age is smaller than your hand. · 3 weeks: Eyes are fully open, ears are erect, teeth are visible. Kittens this age are just starting to walk and will be very wobbly. · 4-5 weeks: Eyes have changed from blue to another color and/or kittens have begun to pounce and leap. Kittens this age will begin to eat regular cat food. · 8 weeks: Kittens this age weigh approximately two pounds. If they have not been exposed to humans, they will likely be feral and unapproachable. · http://feralfelines.net/fs_kittencare.htm Fleas Don’t use any pesticide or flea powder on a kitten Do use a fine comb to remove fleas and eggs You can dilute apple cider vinegar and spray or dampen a cloth and wipe, but not too wet. Don’t chill. Look It Up: http://everydayroots.com/flea-remedies-for-cats Feeding · First-CAUTION! Cows milk causes diarrhea! · Follow the above outline based on age, and feel free to google around for other ideas. Friends of Feral Felines has a great recipe. http://feralfelines.net/fs_kittencare.htm · Feed every 2 to 6 hours · In the case of this kitten, we determined between 2-3 weeks. My first choice is to find a lactating mother to fill in the gap and provide the colostrum. Second to that, the following will work for a baby o Kitten formula o Homemade formula · Feeding with a dropper, miniature baby bottle, and lastly, a syringe (but don’t force) Pooping and Urination Kittens under 4 weeks just need their butts swabbed with a soft cotton pad. It’s all liquid. If you’ve changed your baby’s diapers, you know about that drill. My friend’s dog wanted to be helpful and lick the kitten’s butt. They said thanks, but no thanks. Veterinarian, and Spay/Neuter Get the kitten to a vet for check up and tests. Altering should not take place until after 14 weeks. Get the feral females fixed, fast. This is going to happen all over again if you don’t. Keep or adopt out? If you decide you are going to adopt this kitten, good for you. If not, be prepared to be the foster family. Reach out to an independent rescue, or non-kill shelter who can promote the kitten through PetFinder, adoption fairs, and networking placements. DO not surrender the kitten to a public shelter. 95% of those will be destroyed. DO NOT advertise the kitten on Craig’s List. Network with neighbors, family, friends, and your vet for a good match If the kitten is black, and many ferals are, be very watchful and cautious around Halloween time. There are wierdos out there. Keep any black cat indoors and safe during that “Holiday”.
