Cassandra Snyder+FollowRichmond’s cat café flooded by playful kittenA mischievous 5-month-old kitten named Roller turned The Purrfect Bean in Richmond upside down—literally! After a wild play session, Roller managed to flood the café, causing major water damage and forcing the beloved spot to close for the rest of the year. The good news: all the cats are safe and cozy in foster homes, but the staff and community now face a tough recovery. Locals are rallying with fundraisers and GoFundMe to help get the café—and its adoptable kittens—back on their paws. How would you support a favorite local business after a freak accident like this? #Pets #RichmondVA #CatCafe30Share

William Mckinney+FollowNew Tick Disease in Dogs Could Hit HumansJust when you thought ticks couldn’t get any worse, scientists have found a brand new tick-borne disease in US dogs—and it might be able to infect humans, too.

Researchers are racing to figure out which ticks are spreading it and if people are at risk. Watch out for those tick bites! #Pets #TickAlert #PetHealth00Share

Cassandra Snyder+FollowPenguins Are Disappearing Fast 😢Did you know over 60,000 African penguins have starved to death near South Africa because their main food, sardines, basically vanished? Climate change and overfishing are to blame, and now these adorable birds could go extinct in the wild within a decade. Scientists are even using penguin decoys and recorded calls to lure them to safer, food-rich spots. If we don’t fix the sardine shortage, these penguins might be gone for good. Wild, right? #Pets #AfricanPenguins #ClimateCrisis00Share
davisjames+FollowA Seal Walks Into a Bar… Literally!You won’t believe what wandered into a New Zealand craft beer bar—a baby fur seal! The staff thought it was just another dog until they realized it was a lost marine mammal who made itself comfy under the dishwasher. The best part? They lured it out with salmon pizza toppings. Conservation rangers say this happens more than you’d think, and the seal (now named Fern) got a safe ride back to the wild. The bar’s calling it their official 'seal of approval.' #Pets #NewZealand #FurSeal10Share
