cats

This time of year is always the worst in the ongoing saga of our cat.  We love her, she's a part of the family, and we will never get rid of her.   However warm temperatures in the summer time drastically increase the amount of piles of puke on the floor when we get home.  Yes, it's that bad.  It's time to get serious and pull out the big guns.

Raise your hand if you love trampolines! We sure do, particularly because they're like an instant way to revisit our inner five-year-old. While trampolines are no doubt fun, they can be hilariously painful, too (see: epic fails). If you think about it, though, the trampoline concept is also straight up confusing. That's why these animals are all, "what the heck, man?!"

I grew up in the country, we didn't need to register our dogs or cats there.  After several months of living in the City of Duluth my friend asked if I had a license for my pet.  WHAT?  Never had to before, so the answer was no.  Questions then came to mind, why, how, how much?  I hope this blog answers your questions and helps with the procrastination you've experienced getting your dog or cat li

This week is National Pet Week, which happens to coincide with "Be Kind To Animals" week.  Our family has a cat, which you've probably heard me complain about periodically.   Cathy's family has two dogs, one being a brand new puppy.  (You've probably heard her complain about the puppy too.)  But we both love our pets, and wanted to take a poll of our listeners and to see if we have more

Animal Allies is starting a new program called Spring Break Camp.  It will run during student's spring bring April 8-12.  Kids ages 8-12 can learn about how to care for animals, and do some volunteer work for the shelter.

Maxxis is a very loveable cat and one of the shelter's favorites.   However, Maxxis has Feline Immunodeficiency Syndrome (FIV) and is looking for someone to love him and take him home.  His condition only requires that he stays completely indoors and doesn't live with any other cats that are FIV negative.  Otherwise there is nothing else he needs besides a good home!

Today we talked with Betsy from Animal Allies and she shared some exciting fundraising events that are coming up along with the pet of the week Savannah.  Betsy described her as a very loving and cuddling cat that also enjoys a little bit of alone time.

Quick! Somebody call the doctor! Anna featured this loveable cat this morning as the featured pet for Animal Allies. You can take this guy home and get him at a reduced price.

The public has spoken and Monopoly will cast away the boring old iron token, a symbol of domestic housework from a simpler time (it's not even an electric iron), which has been included in the board game for almost 80 years. In its place will be a cat. Hey, are you really that surprised? The internet loves cats.

Not their boyfriends, of course.

Once again this morning we talked to Anna from Animal Allies about what's happening at the shelter.  We'll talk more about Ellie the cat in a bit, but we also want to remind you about the promotions that are going on.  Animal Allies is currently helping control the pet population with "beat the heat."  For just 20 dollars you can have your cat spayed or neutered.  Also there's the "
