Black cats aren’t bad luck. But being born a stray can mean a lifetime of challenges. 🐈‍⬛

With Halloween just around the corner, black cats are getting their annual moment in the spotlight. But this , we’re shining a light on cats of ALL colors, shapes, and sizes who need our compassion and care.

Around the world, millions of stray cats face daily challenges, from hunger and illness to injury and harsh living conditions. And while every cat deserves a safe, healthy life, far too many are left to survive on their own.

Through our Stray Animal Care program, FOUR PAWS works to improve the lives of vulnerable cats and dogs through veterinary care, sterilization, vaccination, and community education.

Because every cat deserves more than nine lives’ worth of love. ❤️

🐾 This National Cat Day, help us spread the word: Every cat deserves compassion and care.

Today is International Day of the Leopard, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate with some well-deserved leopard Mike appreciation! 🐆✨

Born wild in 2005, Mike’s journey highlights a growing challenge facing wild predators today. After coming into conflict with nearby human communities, he was captured in a live trap and labelled a “problem animal.” Mike was then brought to LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary. 🧡

Did you know... 👀

🐆 Belonging to the Panthera genus, leopards are classified as big cats based on genetics!
🐆 Found across Africa and Asia, leopards can survive in extreme temperatures, from -22°F in Russian boreal forests to 150°F in arid deserts, and even on the edges of major cities.
🐆 Leopards are currently listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and illegal trade.

Show some leopard love in the comments! 💬

As the changing of the seasons brings a few familiar challenges, it's important to stay mindful of them to make sure our dogs not only feel comfortable but stay safe, too.

🍄 Autumn is mushroom season. It's best to keep your dog away from mushrooms altogether, as some can be not only dangerous but even deadly to dogs. Be especially careful with any "treats" your furry friend may decide to help themselves to during a walk.

🧥 Make sure your dog stays warm and remains visible in the dark. Anyone who's ever chased their fluffy companion through the darkness knows exactly why this matters.

🕷️ Watch out for ticks. They're still active during autumn. If you find a tick on your dog, remove it as soon as possible. Having a few tick-removal kits on hand is always recommended.

🍁 And most importantly, enjoy autumn with all its bold colors and the cozy atmosphere it brings.

Happy frolicking! 🍂🍁
