Shine Up Your Fur and Get Your Game On #sponsored

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Now you all know what a selective palate. So Dad L always hesitates when Mom L asks him to add something different to my meals. He had his doubts if I would even try the supplements we received from NHV Natural Pet Products. Was Dad P ever wrong about me! I just continues to dine as always!

Let me tell you a bit about the NHV supplements we tried. I got to try the Yucca liquid supplement. The lady who helped guide Mom L in making her selections thought that this might help sooth my tummy and help me keep my food down.

I don’t vomit nearly as much as I once did now that I dine only on raw chik-hen, but I do have an occasional upchuck. NHV has worked with veterinarians to formulate all their supplements and the end products are vet approved. Not to mention they are one hundred per cent all natural ingredients!! Just take at look at all the advantages my NHV Yucca supplement gives my overall health, especially my digestion.

Unfortunately, I did not experience any difference in my digestion and ability to keep my food down during my trial of this product. However, I can tell you, and Mom L will validate for me, that I have been showing a lot more game!! Kitties and woofies, I am one crazy playing catlady!! I have even been playin’ our old game of “Mice In The Bed”—chasin’ Mom L’s toesies under the bed covers!!

For the last few months, and not just because it was Summer and warm ‘cuz we have aircon, I have been a bit sluggish. Even as far back as the Spring Mom L was having a challenge getting me to play. Now I am tearing around the bedroom after Da Bird (which I used to be afraid of!) and of course that ever evasive red dot.

Now The Kid Sage tested a different supplement. She tried out NHV Multi Essentials for cats. And just like me, she easily accepted having it added to her raw meals, no problem.

Now TKS had a similar benefit as I did from my supplement. She has also shown an amazing increase in her game!

And you all know she was already a playing demon! She yowls and howls to get Dad P or Mom L to come play with her several times a day. Her favorite game is CHASE! Yes! She loves having Mom or Dad chase her up and down the stairs, around rooms, under the bed and out again! Why you might think she had some woofie in her!!

Take a look at all the benefits she is getting from this great supplement.

FTC Disclosure: We received two different supplement to test for one month and we were compensated for writing a product review. The opinions in this review are our own, no one influenced our experience of this product. Savannah’s Paw Tracks reviews products in which we believe our readers may have interest. **Savannah’s Paw Tracks failed to follow product directions to “shake well” and to “refrigerate after opening”. In order to provide an honest review Savannah’s Paw Tracks voluntarily paid for another two supplements, the same we were given, and have tested them for one month.

Mom L and Dad P have never considered using a supplement to our raw diet, but they are changing their minds. Our experience with NHV Natural Pet Products has been positive enough that we are going to keep on using the Multi Essentials for both of us!

Now kitties and woofies listen up, because here is something we both found happening to our furs. We have always had lovely furs, don’t get me wrong. But Mom L and Dad P both noticed our furs got shinier and shinier on our supplements.

Just check out our glowing furs in the lamp light at night.

Of course our furs glow in daylight but at night they really are something.

Guess what kitties and woofies? NHV Natural Pet Products has been kind enough to allow me to offer one of my readers an opportunity to try out their Multi Essentials supplement!

IT’S A GIVE AWAY!

All you have to do is leave me a comment to let me know you want to be entered to win a 3.4 ounce bottle of this liquid supplement. This give away is only valid in the USA. My apologies to my international readers. You may of course enter and then donate your win to a USA pal if you want.

Never Let This Happen Again #remembermethursday

HIYA! SAVANNAH AND THE KID SAGE HERE!!

The Kid Sage and I are joining paws across the world to bring focus on the urgent need to remember all those companion, adoptable animals who were not fortunate like us—their forever family did not find them. Some, well—they did survive because of that.

JUST SAY NO!

NO MORE RESCUE ANIMALS LEFT BEHIND

#remembermethursday #remembertherescue

Today is a day to #remembertherescue #remembermethursday. This global event across all channels of social media is founded and hosted by Helen Woodward Animal Center along with brands which support this movement.

I am a former adult shelter cat, considered “less adoptable” due to my extreme shyness and fear. I am going to make a difference, four paws at a time, if that is what it takes.

Many of us who work the social media channels to promote those who are languishing in shelters, left without hope—and no matter what social medial channel we use—we always get all those comments about ” so hope [it] finds a home”; wish I were closer; etc. Those are always kind THOUGHTS.

But, #remembermethursday is a CALL TO ACTION. I, Savannah the Cat, say do not leave those comments unless you also tell me that you have SHARED that rescue animal’s plight, urgency across every social media channel you access. Even if you can email that plea to all your friends. DO SOMETHING!

These animals literally die. They need OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY to SHARE SHARE SHARE AND PROVE WE CARE!

*steps down, one paw at a time, off soap box*

Many caring humans believe that once a cat is “rescued” by a non-profit rescue, and taken into foster care that he cat is now “safe” and “has a home”. That is so not true. I tried very hard to bring to light the fact that there are hundreds of rescues who have “foster adult cats” languishing in their care and these cats are so adoptable it makes me, Savannah the Cat, almost ashamed to have the loving home I now have.

I was totally considered as “less adoptable”. I was extremely shy and terrified of both other cats and humans. And yet, even though my rescue shelter told Mom L and Dad P that I did not need any toys as I never played—loving care and a patient home proved everyone wrong. If not for the rescue system, I would not be writing this blog.

This year you can all get the entire world talking about pet adoption. AND more importantly , you can help your favorite rescue bring home some Green Papers OR some NOMS!! Yummy! Enter HERE!

Please join me all day tomorrow to spread the love and caring all shelter animals need to NOT BE LEFT BEHIND.

BEST BREED EVER—ADOPTED!!!

PAW PATS AND HEAD BONKS, SAVANNAH AND THE KID SAGE

Courageous Momma Kat #mommakatssearch

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!—My Sunday Selfie Mystery Guest revealed.

Momma Kat had five kittens to care for and feed and yet she herself had not been out to find food for days. She took a chance, stashed her kittens in protective shrubs and quickly left to find something to eat. It was almost night.

Not a good day for Momma Kat, the food was across the street, a very busy street.

The car hit her on the head and she was tossed to the side of the street, likely left for dead as no one bothered to stop and check on her. The only good thing to come out of this was that she wasn’t left in the middle of the street where other cars would keep hitting her.

She pulled herself up from the curb and started her painful journey home to her five kittens. She must have been in such pain as her head and jaw took the impact.

Momma Kat could not make it all the way back to her kittens. She finally dropped to the cement and closed her eyes. The humans living in the house found her in their driveway and called the county municipal animal services to report a severely injured cat, she was shivering and clearly still bleeding. Thankfully Officer John, from Contra Cost Animal Services (CCAS), arrived soon and he quickly did a visual review of her injured body. Officer John saw that Momma Kat was lactating, her nipples fully engorged. SHE HAD BABIES!!

Officer John made sure Momma Kat was stable and then went on a fast search of the yard. There, in the shrubs, where Momma Kat had secured her kittens, he found all five of them—only two to three weeks old. Officer John transported the little family and off they went to our county shelter’s medical staff for care.

APAWS APAWS FOR OFFICER JOHN OF CCAS!!

Come on kids, drink up

Momma kat was assessed as having a broken jaw, heavily congested and she was administered antibiotics and pain meds until full assessment the next morning. She and her kittens were reunited and she immediately took them under her paws and drew them toward her to nurse. Momma Kat was on duty.

The next day, Momma Kat was assessed to have mandibular fractures. This injury was beyond what the medical staff could easily deal. And yet, she had five kittens to nurse and care for and raise to be happy adoptable kittens.

Momma Kat still had injuries that were causing difficulty for her to eat for her own strength. But, she never wavered in caring for and feeding her kittens.

Fortunately for Momma Kat and her kittens, Bright Haven contacted the county shelter to ask if they needed help with a Mom Kat and babies with at least one member in the furramily with special needs, as they had a foster open!!

Momma Kat and her five kittens were transported to a Bright Haven sanctioned vet, Dr Chahal from Ace Animal Hospital in Fremont, California, where Momma Kat underwent surgery. Once again, she immediately returned to caring of her kittens once she was fully recovered from the anesthetic. She had three wires holding her fractured mandible together.

Momma Kat and her five kittens had a loving foster home waiting just for them. Foster Dad Devin was ready and willing to take on this Momma Kat and all her kittens.

APAWS APAWS FOR FOSTER DAD DEVIN!!

Where’s my kitten milk??!!

And of course, Momma Kat made sure she and her kittens had everything needed to help her brood thrive—food, water, kitten milk and a suite of their very own.

If kitten milk mustaches give you a giggle, then the next video is a MUST! Giggle away!!

And as “Mini-Me”, Momma Kat’s kitten who is a tuxedo just like her, shows us. No kitten can ever have too many toys.

Recently Momma Kat went into surgery to remove two of the wires; the third remains, both for stability and because it would have caused too much trauma to remove it. And as usual, once she was fully out of the anesthetic, she chirped and mewed until all her kittens came close to once again nurse. Momma Kat is a proud cat mom.

Through it all Momma Kat has remained devoted to the kittens. Momma Kat is a courageous and loving mom, and now she desperately needs our support.

It is time for Momma Kat and all the kittens to be spayed and neutered in two weeks. The kittens AND MOMMA KAT will be ready for adoption in three weeks.

The kittens will have a tough time as all but one are completely black. Even if we all know black cats ROCK, the public isn’t always so welcoming of that color fur. And Momma Kat is a two year old adult, her challenge to reach out so that her future family can find her is now my challenge. And, I hope that all of you who read this will agree that Courageous Momma Kat DESERVES THE BEST HOME EVER! Forever safe from speeding cars, always loved herself with plenty of good healthy food and well, just everything she deserves.
