Meet Cherry and Crosby! This pair need a home. They were found abandoned on a dirt road. Approximately 12 weeks old. They have received a 1st FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination, and have been spay/neutered. Each has had a topical applied to treat for fleas and provide deworming. There is no specific adoption fee but donations are appreciated. Please TEXT 770-633-9263 if interested in meeting them.

If you feed cats, do you consider them ‘yours’?

If you can’t afford to fix them, please ask for help! There may be a free or affordable option available.

𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘’𝗦 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗥𝗨𝗙𝗙𝗟𝗘𝗗… 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗨𝗦 𝗢𝗨𝗧. 👀😆

“𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙩. 𝙄 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩.”
We hear this ALL. 👏🏼THE. 👏🏼TIME.

And we actually understand what people mean.

❌You didn’t adopt the cat.
❌You didn’t bring it home.
It just showed up one day… and you were kind enough to put some food out.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸.
𝗦𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.

Now it knows exactly where dinner is served, hangs around your property and relies on that food being there.

But when spay/neuter comes up?
“Well… it’s not my cat.”

Friend. 😂
‼️𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲-𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘀.

𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗜𝗧.

We’re not saying bring it inside.
We’re not saying add it to your Christmas card.

We’re saying 𝙞𝙛 𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚.

And responsible feeding has to include preventing reproduction.

Because:
𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗕𝗢𝗪𝗟 𝗠𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬.
𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗟𝗘𝗧’𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧 𝗠𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗟𝗬. 👏🏼

Feeding takes care of the cats standing in front of you today.

Spaying and neutering helps prevent you from having six more standing there tomorrow.

And that’s how so many situations grow.

“I was just feeding one.”
Turns into…
“There are six now.”

And eventually…
“One is pregnant. Can somebody come help?” 😱

That’s why we push TNVR before it gets to that point.

❌You don’t have to be a trapper.
❌You don’t have to know what you’re doing yet.
✅Ask questions.
✅Find resources.
✅Learn.
✅Get connected with low-cost options.

But if you’re willing to keep filling the bowl, be willing to help make sure the cats relying on that bowl are fixed too. 💙

𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗧.
𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣 𝗙𝗜𝗫 𝗜𝗧.

That isn’t us being mean.
That’s how we stop one cat from becoming a whole lot more cats. 🐈

‼️Attention: We appreciate our work being shared! 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞. 𝐈𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞.

We are thrilled to be one of the 103 recipients! This grant will allow us to provide spay/neuter for pets of low income families who otherwise could not afford this service.

The DCSP Grant is making a meaningful difference for animals and the communities that care for them. This year, $1.15 million in grant funding was awarded to 103 Georgia-licensed animal rescues, local government animal shelters, and veterinary medical foundations providing low-cost spay and neuter services across the state.

These grants help support responsible pet ownership and improve the health and well-being of animals throughout Georgia.

We’re proud to support the dedicated organizations working every day to make a difference for Georgia’s pets and the people who love them.

For those in Hart, Stephens, Franklin or Elbert county

LAST CALL FOR LOW COST VET CARE!

Applications are close tomorrow for Walt’s World’s September Community Clinic Day for low-income, senior, and disabled pet families who need help keeping their pets healthy and up to date on veterinary care.

Wellness packages start at just $50 per pet.
Our $50 starting wellness package includes:
• Full veterinary wellness exam
• Rabies vaccination, when needed
• FREE Microchip, when needed
• FREE heartworm test for dogs
• FREE dose of heartworm/flea/tick prevention
• FREE access to the Walt’s World Free Market for pet food, human food, and available supplies

Additional services are available at deeply reduced community-clinic pricing, including:
• DHPP vaccines for dogs
• FVRCP vaccines for cats
• Bloodwork
• F***l testing
• Additional testing based on your pet’s individual needs

Rather than requiring every family to purchase the same package, we can help build a low-cost care plan around what your pet actually needs.

Clinic Day is held at Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary in Hart County, Georgia.

APPLICATIONS CLOSE TOMORROW.

Spaces are limited and an application is required. Please complete one application per pet so we can properly assess each animal’s needs. You may submit applications for as many pets as you need.
Once applications close, we will begin contacting approved applicants. Please respond promptly to emails or texts.

Appointments are first come, first served among approved applicants, and spaces may fill before we receive your response.
Deposits for approved appointments will be due by September 24.

APPLY HERE:
https://form.jotform.com/251723862125051

Why does Walt’s World offer this program?
Because routine veterinary care shouldn’t become inaccessible simply because a family is struggling financially.

It costs Walt’s World approximately $2,000 to provide each Community Clinic Day. We intentionally subsidize those costs so qualifying families can receive veterinary care at a fraction of what that care would otherwise cost.

Every appointment helps a pet stay healthier and gives a family access to veterinary support they may otherwise have to go without.

Know someone who could benefit? Please share this post. No one should have to choose between taking care of their family’s basic needs and getting necessary veterinary care for a pet they love.
