We are treasures, not trash.

Pearl Topaz In the early afternoon of September 9, a woman was witnessed throwing a purple suitcase (below) into the dumpster of a veterinary hospital. Later that afternoon, as staff approached the dumpster, they could hear faint screams and cries.  They were horrified to realize the sounds of terror were coming from the purple suitcase and they rushed to retrieve it.  They unzipped it and found two cats inside in severe heat distress and trauma.  They urgently cooled the cats and saved them from heat stroke. For the past 10 weeks, the cats -- now named Pearl and Topaz -- have been recovering well from dehydration.  They are now healthy, spayed/neutered, and triumphantly debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Pet'ographique generously helped us celebrate their recoveries with these elegant portraits to emphasize that they are treasures, not trash. Pearl is a graceful young grey & white shorthair with jewel-like eyes, about 3 years of age...

I was saved in the nick of time.

This super cute baby boy has very expressive eyes that seem to perfectly reveal his innocent soul. At the time of rescue he was out on the streets, severely dehydrated during the sweltering summer heat and in heat stroke. Rushed into emergency care at a veterinary clinic, he was stabilized and made a full recovery. We named him Baba Lou . Today is his big day -- he debuts for adoption and seeks a loving forever home of his own. Baba Lou is a Bully mix with stunning steel-blue-grey coloring. He is neutered and approximately 3 months of age. Like all puppies, he requires a lot of effort on your part, including positive direction so he can learn to channel his energy into good behaviors.
