UPDATE: Coolridge Animal Hospital: Iverson, The Sweet Foster Kitten - Turns Out (He)…Is Mama Iris With Two Adorable Kittens - Mama and Babies Will Be Available for Adoption Soon

You may have read my post: Meet Iverson, A Sweet 4-6 Month Old Foster Kitten - Soon To Be Available for Adoption at Coolridge Animal Hospital, Camp Springs, Maryland

I have received an update from Coolridge Animal Hospital:

Update Iverson the rescued 6 month old kitten, turns out is Iris the 6 month old mama. We were able to rescue her 2 kittens which look to be about 6 weeks of age, we are grateful they are safe now, as they wouldn't have made it or had a very happy life out on the streets trying to survive.

These lucky ones are just one story, there are so many Iris's and babies out there on the streets, this is why we strongly believe in spay/neuter of all pets. We can all make a difference.

So with further adieu, here is mama Iris ( 6 months) and her 2 babies, they are identical and laying on each other, which is the reason you only see one.

They will all soon be up for adoption, so if at anytime you are interested just contact us here at Coolridge. We will post more pictures in the upcoming weeks

If you have room in your home and in your heart for Mom Iris or her kittens, please contact:

Stray Senior Dog In Danger At Sanitation Plant Gets Heartwarming Rescue

A senior dog smelt like a sewer and looked even worse when Hope for Paws came to rescue him at a water treatment facility in Los Angeles.

A sanitation plant is an extremely dangerous place for an animal or a human, and the rescue was especially called in to help the dog and given special clearance to do so. When you first see him, he is so dejected and defeated. That’s why it’s so amazing to see a smile come back to his face just from getting a bath and some TLC!





Things are looking up for Mufasa (now renamed Goji). He’s about 8 years old and is currently in foster care with Lionel’s Legacy, a senior dog rescue.

Some animals are known for embodying certain personality traits: Dogs are loyal, lions are brave and foxes are sly. Otters so thoroughly embody love that it’s a wonder they haven’t become the mascot of Valentine's Day sooner.

Consider the following otter facts: Many otters mate for life and sometimes they hold hands while sleeping in the water to avoid drifting apart.
