From bird watching to sun bathing, outdoor cats may seem like they have it all. But all that stimulation comes with additional stressors and some serious risks. While people who let their cats outside may believe it adds to their kitty’s quality of life, the truth is, it’s possible for your cat to live an equally happy life indoors. Hear from AHS experts on giving cats access to the outdoors, plus tips for providing indoor enrichment.
Last year, Ashley received a surprising call from Animal Humane Society. Her dog, Shiloh, had been found in Minnesota, seven years and hundreds of miles from where she'd lost him.
After receiving the call from AHS, Ashley immediately hopped in the car to make the drive from South Dakota to retriever her beloved pup. When Shiloh saw Ashley, he was slightly confused at first and looked her in the eyes intently — then he melted like butter. “He’s just as affectionate as I remember,” she says.
Losing a pet is heartbreaking. Ensure you're prepared with what do to should the unthinkable happen.
