Happy #Caturday!!! Welcome our new boy, Ravee!!! He’s only been here 5 days!!

Next in our series about running a rescue - transparency isn’t optional.

When animals’ lives are at stake, the public deserves to know what’s going on. Transparency builds trust, prevents harm, and protects animals before it’s too late.

💬 It’s okay to ask questions. Ethical rescues will answer them.

Read why we believe transparency is foundational, not optional 👉 https://helpingalllittlethings.org/docs/rescue/transparency

#AnimalRescue #ethics

In rescue, we do a lot: clean wounds, give meds, monitor symptoms.
But one line must never be crossed:
🚫 Operating without a vet.

Working with a licensed veterinarian isn’t optional — it’s essential.
Every animal deserves proper care and diagnosis.

#WordWeavers 11. Share an inspiration for one of your settings.
Once a long time ago, I was visiting a friend in New Jersey. Her boyfriend was in a heavy metal band and they had a gig in Brooklyn. It was such a crazy and fun experience that I became obsessed with Brooklyn, fueling my fascination with NYC even more. I listen to history podcasts by the Bowery Boys (I have mentioned them before) and google images and stories about Brooklyn so I get close to reality. Much inspiration for me there.

Mr. Whiskers was evaluating his latest performance review, finding himself very pleased with his efforts this past month. Sleep, eat, eat and sleep and suffer Autumn's antics. Yes, he was the prototypical kitty cat. The sun baked his black fur and he reveled in the warmth as he settled into a self-satisfied nap.

Autumn had done it this time. Mr. Whiskers looked on as Mother looked closely at Autumn's paw. She had caught a sliver in her bean. She let out a mournful wail as Mother helped remove it. Mr. Whiskers rolled his eyes figuratively as he listened to her shrieks and screams when Mother tried to help her. To no avail. He was not surprised as he watched Mother stuff her into a carrier and haul her off to the vet. Oh the drama...
#WritersCoffeeClub How much research does your setting require?
Well, for me, rather a lot. I am infatuated with NYC, but I have never grown up in a city. So cities are a place I only go when I'm with a responsible adult. My #WIP is set in Brooklyn and I have only been to Brooklyn a handful of times, so I don't really know what life is like there. I listen to history podcasts about NYC like crazy and I love searching for images of Brooklyn, now and then...

#ScribesAndMakers Day 2. If you paint, do you have “recipes” or tricks for mixing colours, or do you eyeball it?

I usually don't mix my own colors because I do very simple things with paint. But I have been known to experiment sometimes. When I do decide to custom mix something, it needs to be used immediately on a project and never revisited, because I know I will never get the same combo again.
