Butterfinger is one of our newest residents who was left behind in an apartment by his last family. He came to us unneutered, but more importantly, with serious eye infections in both eyes that needed corrective surgery. He is now healing but needs eye drops every day. Butterfinger is a polydactyl kitty with six toes, who is just trying to figure out what he did so wrong to have been left behind. Wont you help us help him?

Meet Brownie, a resident of One More Smith for 10 years who is now 19. Today, Brownie has lost his sight and his hearing is starting to go as well. However, he is safe and in the comfort of his surroundings at One More Smith with everything he needs close by. Brownie was abandoned at a bird store where he was kept in a small bird cage. He has separation anxiety and when he was checked out by a veterinary, we learned that all of his legs had been broken in the past.

For a little man, Brownie has lived large at One More Smith. He has always demanded the best, and he deserves it.

Beauty came to us this Fall, along with three siblings. They were rescued from a famous cat hoarding episode here in New Jersey. Shortly after they were rescued, they found themselves living in a basement in poor conditions yet again. Beauty, once named Ugly, had been neglected and lost her eye. Today she is in the medical unit working hard to come back from a crippling virus. Please show her you care. Sponsor Beauty and help us help her today.

We get so much out of our pets, they are: lifelong companions, walking partners, friends, and…excellent topics for viral videos

This Halloween be mindful of what kind of candy or treats are left lying around if you have pets in your home. It is well known that chocolate, even in small amounts, can be toxic to dogs, but there are healthier treats that are just as harmful to pets…Raisins. Raisins, a popular healthy alternative to candy during Halloween, are very toxic and can, even in small amounts, cause kidney failure. Keep your Halloween treats away from your pets and your pets away from the treats for a healthy Halloween.

Another risk this Halloween is pets getting lost. Halloween is the second most common holiday for pets to get lost. This is due to pets easily becoming scared and stressed due to all the unfamiliar people in costumes and the high noise/activity level for the night. The stress may cause your pet to run off if you happen to take your pet out trick or treating, or they may escape out the front door while you’re handing out treats.

This Halloween be sure to be aware of your pet so they can have a safe and healthy evening. For more tips and insight, be sure to check out the ABC News article.
