This Woman Adopted This 20-Year-Old Cat From A Shelter Because She Didn't Want Him To Spend The End Of His Life Alone In A Cage
We adopted a senior dog. She was just beautiful, and so happy to have a comfortable life. She showered us with love, and was so calm. It was far, far better getting an older dog than a puppy.
Load More Replies...I just spent a little over $3,000 to save my 19 year old cat from kidney failure. She's the sweetest little beotch that ever scratched up an entire couch.
I have a friend who does this with dogs. And when they pass she goes to get another oldie. She's a total saint - I would be crying constantly.
Your friend IS a saint. But she also gets it...her sorrow at their passing is MUCH outweighed by her knowledge that she did a beautiful and generous and loving thing, she gave said animal peace and comfort and the touch of a loving hand up to and including (i hope) their end. She is acknowledging and letting them know, their existence on this planet mattered, that THEY mattered. Your friend sounds like a genuinely wonderful person.

Load More Replies...No matter how much you love animals, not everyone is cut out for being a veterinarian. Yes, you’ll spend your days surrounded by cuteness. But you’ll also have to see and deal with the not-so-nice side of the job: sick, injured, neglected, or dying animals.
For Dr. Riaan Pont, being a vet was a calling he couldn’t ignore. Pont is a surgical resident at Panorama Veterinary Clinic and Specialist Centre in South Africa. He took some time out of his very busy schedule to chat to us about what his job entails.
“I grew up on a farm in Limpopo, where my passion for the veterinary profession started. Every school holiday I used to work together with the wildlife vet in the area and ever since, I also wanted to become a veterinarian,” Pont told Bored Panda during our interview.

Here Is 12 Year Old Hermes Who Has Lived In The Shelter For Six Years. The Lady Started Crying In Joy When I Said I Wanted Him
Just like our Yin! He spent 6.5 years with us before passing last July at 18.5 year old. We miss him every day. IMG_202005...ec91e6.jpg
Aw the poor cat! six years! That is so sad. I'm so happy he has a lovely comfy home now!
Growing Old Together!
Reminds me of my friends and I who have known each other for over a half century.
After completing his veterinary degree, Pont went on to do a year of compulsory community service. Naturally, having worked with wildlife before, he has a keen interest in that area. But he also has a passion for little creatures, which led him to complete his Honours degree in small animal surgery in 2022.
Fascinated with surgery, Pont decided this was where he would specialize. He embarked on a residency under the guidance of two expert vets in 2024. "I enjoy the surgical side of the veterinary profession, as it constantly challenges you and you can often make a big difference to the quality of life of a pet," he told us.

Blind Dog Was Scared To Walk. So Owner Made This For Him
My nanny had two toy poodles, Minnie and Mickey. Minnie was blind and would bite onto Mickey's tail so he could lead her around.
I had a blind cat and mostly you'd never notice he's blind. He kept running into the oven though and jump a couple of feet into the air and then continue on.
Load More Replies...So much better than the "funny" videos where they move things around so their blind dog gets confused. I needed this cleanse.
That's a great solution! My lil old man Siamese has been slowly losing his sight over the past couple years. Night vision is the first to go, and he gets very anxious when it's dark. I have colored night lights around the house which seem to help, but sometime he still cries when he gets disoriented. I may need to try this down the road! 😊
As expected, Pont says his job is not all fluffy cuteness all the time. He has some tough moments. "Unfortunately, in our profession there is not always a black and white answer and it can be difficult to make a diagnosis in some cases," he revealed, when asked what the hardest part of being a vet is. "The big emotional component can also be challenging. For example, having to euthanize a dog and seeing a family lose their loving pet can be very difficult."

I am in Turkey right now and there are healthy happy cats EVERYWHERE! Today a tiny kitten came to snuggle with me on my sun lounger whilst I was reading?!
Load More Replies...We asked Pont what pet owners should look out for when it comes to the well-being of their furry friends. According to the expert, general signs of illness include lethargy, a loss of appetite, weight loss, vomiting and diarrhea. But there are some other signs that warrant an emergency trip to the veterinarian.
Pont says you should never ignore “difficulty breathing, collapse, seizures, swollen face, severe bleeding, or dehydration,” which could be the result of severe vomiting and diarrhea. But also, trust your gut. If you feel there is something seriously wrong with your four-legged furkid, get them to an animal doctor as soon as possible.

Load More Replies...Pont says the most common problems he sees in dog patients are osteoarthritis, gastroenteritis (vomiting and diarrhea), allergies, itchiness and periodontal disease. The vet has the following advice for pooch owners to help keep their pets happy and healthy: Make sure they have their annual vaccinations, have regular deworming, tick and flea treatments, get regular dental check-ups, eat good quality dog food and get all the exercise they need.

They hadn’t seen each other since they were 8 weeks old, and were both rescues
My daughter's Chocolate and her yellow sibling had not seen each other for a couple years after being distributed as puppies. It was amazing to see them roll around and play like life long friends, which, I suppose they were.
Yhe rescue lab we had when I was a kid got to meet her sister after years apart. Her sister bit her like an a*****e and we had to go to the vet for emergency surgery cause her neck was bleeding so bad. They never met up again. Rip Sheba. Even getting attacked you were too kind to figgt back. Edit - she passed many years after that attack, not because of it.
My mum was going to surprise me with a kitten for Christmas. When she got to the house that was selling the kittens, she noticed there were only 2 kittens left. She felt terrible separating them. So that’s how I ended up with my two sweet boys, brothers and besties for life 😊🥰
I was going to say they’re related even before I finished reading! 💕
I had a similar experience. When my Westie was about two years old he suddenly dragged me across a (luckily) quiet road. There was another Westie. Turns out that they were Brother and Sister. They recognised each other straight away.
We’ve often heard that a cold, wet nose signals good health in a dog and that a warm, dry nose could mean your mutt is under the weather. We wondered whether this is true. So, we asked Dr. Pont. "Unfortunately we cannot use the moistness of the nose as an indicator of health status," he said.
"The moisture of the nose is more dependent on the environmental temperature, therefore a healthy dog can have a dry nose." So now you know... No matter what's happening with Fido's nose, if he shows any of the signs Pont warned of earlier, it's best to seek professional advice.

If You Can't Afford A Real Tiger
Just a PSA (sorry, sorry) that no one should get a bengal based solely on their beauty. They need a LOT of enrichment. They may never, throughout their entire life, just chill out and snooze a lot like many other cats do. They need physical and mental stimulation every day. Having said that, the best thing that ever happened to me was getting a bengal kitten from the vet, who said that the breeder didn't want to breed or sell her because she thought there was something wrong with her. I had her for a still-too-short 15 years and it was the honor of my life to know and care for her. Miss you, girl.
You are absolutely right. My friend has and fosters Bengals. They are chaos incarnate. I always tell her I have Bengal appreciation but not Bengal patience. Other than watching them for a couple days when she is out of town. Luckily she child/Bengal proofs all cabinets, drawers, doors, floor vents,...
Load More Replies...I was walking my savannah past a BBQ once when the owners came and started fawning over him. Their daughter ran inside so their Bengal could meet walter... not a good idea. That was the day I found out my boy has an intense need to murder any and all other male cats. It was good I never took his harness off. Before that day I never knew the sheer rage he had for other male cats. Lol.

I was the straight A student, but no one ever came up to me and said, "Doesn't she look smart?" Everyone always said how beautiful her red hair was and she Hated It, because kids made fun of her. I'm glad to see that Gingers are getting more recognition.
