If you’re going to need pet supplies in the next week or two anyway… you might as well shop with some adorable company. 😻

Come see us at Pet Supplies Plus - Sandusky, OH this Sunday from 11–3! Stock up on what your pets need, meet some of our amazing adoptable cats and kittens, and maybe accidentally leave with one more thing than you came for. 😂🧡

Even if you’re not looking to adopt, come say hi and get some kitten snuggles!

Someone reached out to me last night about a very sick kitten. She had already called a few places looking for help, and I don’t want to overlook that — she did try.

But in this case, this kitten needed an emergency vet.

Rescues, shelters and volunteers are overwhelmed. Everyone has their hands full, and most organizations simply cannot drop everything to add another emergency to their plate at a moment’s notice.

Emergency clinics exist for exactly that reason. When an animal is severely suffering, an emergency vet may be the only option.

I understand that emergency care is expensive. But choosing not to seek emergency care when an animal is clearly suffering is still a choice — and unfortunately, that choice can have consequences.

If finances or transportation are the barrier, ask everyone. Friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, rescues, your Facebook community. Keep asking until you’ve exhausted every possibility.

I wasn’t available last night. Maybe someone else would have been.

Her name is Palara. She deserved a name. She deserved a chance. she was loved, even if it was from a distance.

Rest in heaven, sweet girl. I’m sorry you didn’t get the happy ending you deserved. 💔🌈

Vet visit for THOM and Nemo today! 🧡

First, THOM is doing amazing! He’s officially up to 7 pounds! His pillow foot is still inflamed, but Dr. Rizzo thinks it looks better than it did at his last visit. We’re adding another medication to his current treatment, but overall, this was incredibly good news. Considering where this boy started, every pound and every improvement feels huge.

And then there’s Nemo. 😂

Nemo very much has bottle baby/only-kitten syndrome and is, quite frankly, a cute little turd nugget. He’s also been battling a stubborn skin condition, but he’s finally big enough and strong enough for the medication he needs to hopefully kick it for good.

Two very different boys, both making progress. 🧡🐾

396 animals. Eight months. And somehow, that number still doesn’t tell the whole story.

Since the beginning of 2026, Pet Project has directly helped 396 animals.

That includes community cats trapped, fixed, vaccinated and returned through TNR. Animals brought into foster care. Adoptions. Medical assistance. And Good Samaritan euthanasia — because sometimes an animal comes to us suffering beyond what can be fixed, and the kindest thing we can give them is a peaceful, compassionate goodbye.

But 396 doesn’t include everything.

It doesn’t include the families who fell on hard times and needed a bag of food to get them through.

It doesn’t include the food we’ve donated to colony caretakers feeding community cats every day.

It doesn’t include the resources we’ve shared with individuals, the people we’ve connected with affordable care, or the supplies and support we’ve shared with other rescues.

Those things are much harder to put into a spreadsheet.

So while 396 lives directly helped is something we are incredibly proud of, the true reach of Pet Project is already so much bigger than that number.

And we still have four months to go. 🧡

Thank you to every foster, volunteer, donor, adopter, trapper, caretaker, veterinary partner and supporter who makes this possible.

396 lives and counting. 🐾

A few weeks ago, we shared that our shelves were nearly empty and we desperately needed supplies.

Someone at Erie County Job & Family Services saw that post and decided to do something about it — they organized an entire supply drive for Pet Project throughout the month of August. 🧡

Our community truly never ceases to amaze us. What started as a simple post asking for help turned into an outpouring of support from people who saw a need and stepped up to fill it.

We are so incredibly grateful to everyone at Job & Family Services who donated, organized and helped make this happen. These supplies will go directly toward caring for the animals who need us.

Thank you for showing up for Pet Project and, most importantly, for our animals. 🐾

A brother and sister adopted by a mother and daughter. 🧡

Artemis and Apollo were only a few weeks old when they were found in a warehouse, which was not a safe place for them to grow up. Our foster and bottle baby expert, Kylee, took them in and helped these tiny siblings grow strong, healthy and loved.

But while Kylee was caring for them, something pretty special happened — her mom and sister each fell in love with one.

Now Artemis and Apollo have officially been adopted by a mother and daughter.

There’s just something extra sweet about a brother and sister finding their forever with a mother and daughter. After starting their lives with no one but each other, Artemis and Apollo get to stay side by side for all the chapters still to come.

A brother and sister. A mother and daughter. One family. One very sweet happy ending. 🧡🐾

Today’s rescue looked a little… bigger. 😂

As I pulled into work, I spotted this gentle giant wandering around and immediately stopped. Thankfully, I was able to grab his collar—and even better, he had a tag with his mom’s phone number on it!

One quick phone call later, we learned that he had chewed through his leash a couple houses down and decided to take himself on a little joy walk. 😂

What could have turned into a long, scary, and stressful day for both him and his mom turned into a very quick reunion.

This is your reminder: please put your phone number on your pet’s collar. Tags are inexpensive, but when your pet gets loose, they can be the difference between hours—or even days—of searching and a phone call that gets them safely home.

Happy trails, big guy. Maybe let Mom come with you next time. ❤️

And yes… that’s slobber on my face! 👅🐕

We have quite the crew looking for homes! 🧡

Our board member and foster, Lauren has had the honor of caring for this amazing group recently, and she has been having so much fun getting to know each of their personalities. They are absolute sweethearts!

Come meet them at our adoption event at Pet Supplies Plus Sandusky on Sunday, 9/6 from 11–3!

🐾 Bandit — black male, no collar
🐾 Lasso — black male, blue collar
🐾 Scout — black male, green collar
🐾 Jolene — black female, pink collar
🐾 Smokey — gray female
🐾 Macaroni — tabby female
🐾 Bailey — petite tabico female

All seven are spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines. They love other cats, are good with dogs, and are incredibly gentle, making them great candidates for families with children — even little ones.

And if you’re thinking about two… they would LOVE to go home with a sibling or buddy to grow up with! 🧡

Have questions about a particular kitten’s personality? Just ask — Lauren knows this crew well and can help you find the perfect fit!

Come meet them Sunday and maybe leave with a new best friend… or two. 🐾

Look who had a big day today!

Paula and Joel loaded up the Western litter — Jolene, Smoky, Bandit, Lasso and Scout — along with their honorary sister Macaroni for a trip to see Dr. Rizzo today!

Macaroni is a little younger and actually came from a different litter. After losing all of her siblings, she was introduced to the Western crew when they were still tiny, and they’ve been her family ever since. 🧡

This little group has been through SO much together — URIs, eye infections, fleas, ear mites, ringworm and more.

And today? Boosters and rabies vaccines. DONE.

They are now fixed, fully vaccinated, healthy and officially ready for their forever homes!

After everything these babies have overcome, the only thing left on their list is finding families of their own.
