Thank you, @LM Sharron 🫶 BOO! DON'T LET HALLOWEEN TURN INTO A MEDICAL NIGHTMARE! Halloween is tomorrow, and Skulliver has a bone to pick with anyone who forgets about safety! 💀😂 Between the candy, costumes, creepy decorations, and things that go bump in the night, Halloween can be a real fright fest for people AND their four-legged family members. Let's keep the scares pretend and the emergencies nonexistent! 🎃 FOR THE HUMANS: BEWARE OF THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT! - Candy Overload: A little Halloween candy is one thing. Eating half the neighborhood's candy supply is another! Excessive sugar can cause blood glucose spikes, digestive upset, and a miserable morning after. Individuals with diabetes should be especially mindful. - Candles and Decorations: Open flames, dangling decorations, and extension cords can turn a haunted house into a genuine hazard. Battery-operated candles are a safer alternative. - Costume Catastrophes: Avoid costumes that obstruct vision, restrict breathing, or create tripping hazards. Those fabulous Halloween shoes aren't worth a fractured ankle! - Watch for Little Goblins: Children are excited, distracted, and sometimes difficult for drivers to see. Use reflective materials, flashlights, and extra caution at intersections. - Witches' Brew: If your Halloween celebration includes alcohol, remember that alcohol can impair judgment, affect blood glucose, and interact with medications. Arrange a sober ride. - Sensory Overload: Flashing lights, loud noises, and frightening surprises can be overwhelming for individuals with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, migraines, or certain neurological conditions. 😻 FOR OUR FURRY GHOULS: THE REAL HALLOWEEN HORRORS! - Chocolate Is NOT a Treat! Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which can be toxic to dogs and cats. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are especially dangerous. - Beware of Xylitol! This sugar substitute, also called birch sugar, can cause life-threatening hypoglycemia and liver injury in dogs. It may be found in sugar-free candy, gum, and other products.

Hi, everyone.....This is my first time posting here, so I hope the following is OK/appropriate.... The biggest help I could get, aside from financial help, are great pet people who would love to adopt a genuine Jerusalem cat. I can get them from Tel Aviv to the NY/NJ area and to Washington, DC. I have 8 kittens, several young cats, and at least 8 big cats, plus several cats who have moved outside because they don't like the number of kittens inside. Plus I feed cats in about 8 different feeding stations around the neighborhood, plus constantly bringing sick street cats for expensive treatments. Yesterday I drove a cat to her forever home an hour away. Driving home, I got a call about a very sick street cat. I brought him to a clinic, where he died on the table. All this, despite that I am constantly doing TNR, including tonight and every week this month, throughout my half of the Old City (1/2 square kilometer). I advertise them on about 40 local cat rescue Facebook groups. A Russian Orthodox nun friend (Sister Olga) also advertises them on local Russian cat rescue Facebook groups. But when people call, many are unsuitable, based on how they answer our questions. So---again, if anyone knows of anyone who can give a Jerusalem cat a great home, it will make it easier for me to take in more street kittens that people dump on me.
