🇺🇸🐾 Happy 4th of July from all of us at Best Friends For Life! ❤️🤍💙

While we celebrate with family and friends, let’s remember that fireworks can be frightening for our pets.

🏡 Keep pets safely indoors.
🏷️ Make sure they are wearing ID tags or are microchipped.

🎆 Please be mindful of community cats, too. Loud fireworks can cause them to panic and run from the areas they know as home.

A few minutes of celebration isn’t worth a lifetime of heartbreak.

❤️ Help us keep our pets and community cats safe this Independence Day.

🇺🇸 Have a safe and Happy 4th of July! Please share this reminder with your family and friends. 🐾💙🎇

🍀🧊 HELP US PURCHASE AN ICE MACHINE! 🧊🍀

With temperatures reaching 118°F, we’re raising $1,500 to purchase an ice machine to provide cold water and ice for our cats, dogs, chickens, volunteers, visitors, and staff.

Every donation helps keep everyone safe, cool, and hydrated during the extreme South Texas heat.

☀️🐱 Summer is here, and our cats feel the heat too! 🐱☀️

Did you know that panting in cats is often a sign of an emergency? Heatstroke can happen quickly, especially during the hot Texas summer.

💧 Provide fresh water daily
🏠 Offer cool, shaded places to rest
🚗 Never leave pets in a vehicle
🪮 Brush regularly to help remove excess fur
⚠️ Watch for signs of overheating: panting, drooling, lethargy, or weakness

If you notice any of these signs, move your cat to a cool area immediately and contact your veterinarian.

❤️ Help keep your feline friends safe, cool, and happy this summer!

☀️🐱 ¡El verano ya está aquí y nuestros gatos también sienten el calor! 🐱☀️

🚗 Nunca lo dejes dentro de un vehículo
🪮 Cepíllalo regularmente para ayudar a eliminar el exceso de pelo
