May has been an incredibly busy month filled with new furry additions, unexpected vet visits, and joyful celebrations. Our home has become a haven for a stray cat family, and we’ve experienced the highs and lows of pet parenting. Here's a look at the eventful month we've had.
Welcoming a Stray Cat Family
One of the most heartwarming highlights of May was the adoption of a stray cat family. My older sister and niece came across a mother cat and her two kittens in desperate need of a home. Sadly, animal rescue shelters were overwhelmed and unable to take them in. Determined to find them a safe place, my sister and niece fostered the little family for a month. Their journey didn’t end there; they traveled 12 hours to bring them to our home, which will now be their forever home.

Adopting stray cats is a cause close to my heart. It's vital to provide these animals with loving homes rather than purchasing pets from breeders. Every stray cat deserves a chance at a better life, and adopting them helps reduce the overwhelming number of homeless animals.
Katsu’s Unplanned Vet Visit
Our 2-year-old cat, Katsu, gave us quite a scare this month. She developed a high fever and had to make an unplanned visit to the vet. After a thorough check-up, Katsu was put on medication for a week. Thankfully, she’s now on the mend, but it was a stressful time for all of us. Regular vet check-ups and prompt medical attention are crucial for our pets' health, even when unexpected issues arise.
Celebrating Cooper’s 2nd Birthday
Amidst all the hustle and bustle, we celebrated a special milestone—our dog Cooper turned 2 years old! We wanted to make his day extra special, so we gave him a cake, a cake that I baked using dog-friendly ingredients. Cooper also had his fur groomed just days before his birthday. Unfortunately, this led to razor burns, but we quickly treated them with cold compresses and wound spray. Despite the minor setback, Cooper enjoyed his birthday celebrations with lots of love and attention.

The Importance of Adopting Stray Animals
This month has reinforced the importance of adopting stray animals. There are countless cats and dogs in need of loving homes, and by adopting them, we not only save their lives but also make room in shelters for others in need. Stray animals often have a lot of love to give and can become loyal, grateful companions.
Our new cat family has already brought so much joy into our lives. Watching them settle into their new environment and seeing them thrive is a rewarding experience. It’s a reminder of the difference we can make one adoption at a time.
Conclusion
May has been a whirlwind of activities and emotions, from welcoming new feline family members to celebrating Cooper’s birthday and ensuring Katsu’s health. Through it all, we've been reminded of the joys and responsibilities of pet ownership and the importance of adopting stray animals.
