Outdoor cats like warm cars!

We had our first cool night of the season. And, we had our first client find a baby kitten under the hood of her car! Thank God she didn’t drive and injure the poor kiddo. Remember, these first cool nights, stray cats are looking for warmth, and your car engine can be just the thing. […]

Pooling your resources

Live far from Shiloh and want to pay less of a travel fee? A client at the far edge of our radius (highest travel fee) had a great idea! She coordinated with her neighbors on getting their pets vaccinated on the same day. If we’re in the same neighborhood but far from our “base”, it’s […]
