🌟This is a courtesy post for our friends at Laps and Naps Home for Senior Cats in North Carolina🌟

Happy Caturday! Happy Halloween!

🐾🧡 Meet Georgie! 🧡🐾

At 13 years young, Georgie is a handsome senior with a big heart and LOTS of love to give! 😻 After a rough start, this sweet boy is ready to find a family to call his own.

Georgie is a **toothless wonder** who proves you don't need pearly whites to flash a winning smile! 😂💕 He does have some sinus issues that cause occasional sneezing fits, so he'll need a family happy to keep up with his ongoing care.

But here's the best part: Georgie is a certified lovebug! ❤️ He gets along with other cats and even big dogs, loves cuddling with his foster family, and is perfectly happy being picked up and carried around. Talk about a purr-fect companion! 🥰🐱

This sweet senior may need a little extra TLC, but he'll repay you with plenty of affection, cozy cuddles, and companionship.

🧡 Could you be Georgie's happily-ever-after? He's ready to trade his rough start for a lifetime of love, comfort, and snuggles! 🐾💕

Halloween may be a fun season, but it can also be scary for our furry friends! There are a number of dangers that can affect them at this time of the year. We recommend that all pet owners keep an eye on their pets at Halloween and ensure that they are protected. Some common Halloween concerns are detailed below:
Hazards to Pets During the Halloween Season

Halloween is characterized by delicious treats and lots of candy, but it’s important to remember that candy is toxic for our pets to eat!

Chocolate and sugar free candy is especially dangerous for them. If your pet gets a hold of Halloween candy, be sure to contact your Vet right away so they can determine whether emergency medical treatment is necessary.

If you’re dressing your pet up in a Halloween costume, make sure they are always supervised while dressed up. Clothing is not natural for animals so they may become stressed or even struggle to remove it.

Keep an eye on your pet all the time they’re dressed up and use your best judgment. If they look uncomfortable, they should have the costume removed.

Jack-o-lanterns are very popular Halloween decorations, but they are also dangerous ones! Lit candles can pose hazards to our pets…if they’re tipped over the hot wax could cause severe burn injuries. We recommend using battery operated candles in your jack-o-lanterns.
