Gifts for Cat Lovers by Union Square & Co. (And a Giveaway!)

I love finding unique gifts for the cat lovers in my life. Today I have two wonderful products to share with you. 

Catit Creamy - A Delicious Hydrating Cat Treat (And a Giveaway)

Cats love treats, and Lola and Lexy are no different. They come running if they hear a sound like a treat bag rustling. I want both of them to be healthy and still enjoy their treats, so I'm a little picky when choosing them. Catit Creamy are treats I'm comfortable giving them. 

It's My 12th Gotcha Day! And I'm Raising Money for Rescue!

Hello, and happy Monday! Today is a super spectacular special day here at the White House. Do you know why? It's my gotcha day! And it's my 12th gotcha day, to be exact. 

 

Catit PIXI Spinner and Senses Mushroom - Purrfect Holiday Gifts for Your Cat

Christmas is right around the corner, and some cat parents may be looking for last minute gifts for their furry loved ones. Look no further, because I have two fabulous recommendations for you. 

The Sleepypod Atom - A Modern Cat Carrier

Going to the vet is always stressful for my girls, especially Lexy. Making the vet visit less traumatic begins at home, and for us, it starts with actually getting into the carrier. The type of carrier is also essential. When shopping for a carrier there are several features I look for. I need to be able to slip my girls in easily without a fight, and the carrier needs to be comfortable and offer them security. Today I have a wonderful carrier to share with you. 

Laika Pets Aqua Ultra Quiet Cat Fountain Review

As cat parents, we always need to give our cats what they need to live a healthy life. One of the important things we need to do is avoid dehydration. Lexy loves flowing water, and I always have two fountains running in the apartment. As an influencer, I enjoy telling our readers about fountains I have the opportunity to review so you can choose one that will work best for you and your cat. If you've been looking for a fountain that is whisper quiet, I have one for you today. 

The PIXI Smart Feeder by Catit

I don’t have the typical 9 to 5 job, and I work erratic hours sometimes. Add my part-time job to the mix and there are days I find myself leaving the house at 7:00 am and getting home at 10:00 pm. I always leave food out for Lexy and Lola but worry if it’s enough, or if Lexy will binge eat. When I come through the door at night they are sometimes immediately meowing for their evening meal. 

Reduce Your Cat's Stress With the RelaxoPet PRO

Many cat parents are familiar with situations that cause stress for their cats: vet visits, car rides, getting in the carrier, thunderstorms, changes in routine, fireworks, moving, etc. These scenarios not only stress out our cats, but they can cause us to be very anxious as well.  

A lot of cat parents, including me, prefer not to use medication to sedate their pets. If you're looking for a natural, medication-free way to reduce your cat's stress, then the RelaxoPet PRO is just what you're looking for. 

Simply Kind Hearted Functional Treats for Cats

Lola and Lexy love their treats, and if left up to them, they would have treat time several times a day. I admit I'm a little picky about the treats I give them because I want to make sure they remain healthy. When I recently connected with Simply Kind Hearted at Global Pet Expo, I was interested to try out their treats for holistic health. 

Keep Your Cat Refreshed With the Petlibro Automatic Pet Water Fountain

Disclosure: We received an Automatic Pet Water Fountain from Petlibro in exchange for our fair and honest review. Petlibro is not responsible for the contents of this post. Lola The Rescued Cat only shares information we feel will be of interest to our readers. 

Making sure your cat has proper hydration is so important for their overall health. One of the ways you can ensure your furry loved one gets enough freshwater is to have a fountain they enjoy. Lexy loves drinking from fountains, and I like finding new ones that meet both of our criteria. 

When the folks at Petlibro contacted me to review their automatic pet water fountain, I was very happy. I was sure it would check off all my required boxes. 

It's My 10th Gotcha Day! And I'm Having a Giveaway!

Hello, and Happy Monday! I'm very excited because I'm celebrating my 10th Gotcha Day! Okay, it was actually a couple of days ago, but I wanted to post this on a Monday so more people would see it. 

Time sure flies, because it feels just like yesterday that I came home forever. I was only about seven months old, and now I'm a mature cat (almost to be considered a senior! *shudder*) My life has been pretty amazing, and I'm grateful for every single moment of it. Mommy, Lexy, and I have accomplished so much and have helped so many cats and people over the past decade, and we're hoping to continue for the next ten years! 

Book Review: Heroic, Helpful and Caring Cats: Felines Who Make a Difference by Anne E. Beall

Today I am very excited to tell you about a wonderful book Heroic, Helpful and Caring Cats; Felines Who Make a Difference, that I am honored to be featured in along with Lola.

I met The author, Anne E. Beall, Ph.D., in July 2019 when I attended Meow Meet Up in Chicago. In her workshop, “How Cats Help Humans”, Anne shared her foray into the world of rescue and advocacy by telling the audience how she became a managed colony caretaker with Tree House Humane Society in Chicago through their Cats at Work program. When Anne asked attendees to share personal stories about how their cats help them and have made a difference in their lives, I knew I had to share Lola’s story with her.

Cat Café Swag Giveaway #2

Meow Meet Up 2019 - The Midwest's Premiere Cat Convention

I love attending cat conventions. There’s just something about being in a large space filled with cat lovers that makes my soul happy. I’ve been lucky to have been able to attend Cat Camp three times, as well as Catsbury Park and I’ve always enjoyed myself immensely (and I always come home with bags of goodies! I’m a sucker for cat-themed merchandise.) 

A group of cat blogging friends, some of my favorite friends in the world, decided we wanted to get together again so we’ve made plans to meet in Chicago to attend Meow Meet Up. When I was contacted by Lauren Meile, founder of The Catnip Times (a blog I absolutely love!) and Meow Meet Up to talk to my readers about the event, I was more than happy to oblige. I had a lovely conversation with her on the phone as we shared our passion for cats, rescue, and blogging. Her enthusiasm for the event was contagious! (Stay tuned till the end, because there’s a special ticket offer for Lola The Rescued Cat readers!)

Cat Writers’ 25^th Anniversary Conference

Purina has been a sponsor and supporter of Cat Writers’ Association since its inception in 1992, so I was thrilled that not only would they be presenting at the 25^th Anniversary Conference, but they would also have a booth with staff available to speak one-on-one with members.

Say Goodbye to Pet Odors With Pet House by One Fur All

I hate it when my house stinks. I don't like to admit it, but with two cats in a one bedroom apartment, it can happen. When company walks in the last thing I want them to think is "It smells like animals live here." I've tried many products, including room sprays and fabric fresheners, but they don't really eliminate pet odors, they just cover them up temporarily. I also worry about the effect the chemicals in these products may have on Lola nd Lexy.

I was happy to learn about the pet safe Pet House products by One Fur All.  Products that are safe for Lola and Lexy and will make my house smell good? My fingers were crossed and I hoped they worked! 

Save Your Furniture With Clawguard Furniture Shields - Review, Giveaway, and Interview With Founder Kevin Dixon

I’ve been fairly lucky with destructive scratching with Lexy and Lola. I say “fairly” because, at the end of the day, they are cats. I remember the fits my mother threw when our cats would scratch the furniture as well as I remember shredded couch arms. Compared to that, I am fairly lucky today. Lexy and Lola will scratch the furniture from time to time, even with scratchers nearby. I'm frequently redirecting them.
