From @simba.theshortie: "You don’t move. I move my head 👻" #catsofinstagram https://t.co/Eut8QQ20eX

When Sarah was looking for a buddy for her one-year-old lab, she knew she had found it in CJ. Although her plan was to originally wait until summer, one look at her sweet face and they knew she was meant to be a part of their family. 😍 https://t.co/2y96PbC0dG

CJ had originally made her way to Best Friends in #Arkansas after her family was pulled from a local shelter due to mange. Thanks to great medical care, & LOTS of cuddles, CJ is all healed! According to Sarah, "We are thrilled with the dynamic she has created for our home!" ❤️ https://t.co/ZlcqvSp2pr

With #AnimalControlAppreciationWeek coming to a close & #VolunteerAppreciationWeek about to kick off, we thought now was the perfect time to talk about some innovative thinking happening in #Florida. At @AnimalsPCAS, volunteers work alongside staff — including animal control!🙌 https://t.co/biBJ9wqWzZ

In 2020, PCAS created the Animal Control Assistant volunteer role. These volunteers assist ACOs with various responsibilities including picking up confined strays, working on the TNR program for community cats, & driving officers to each of their calls (kind of like an Uber)! https://t.co/1O02Opx23g

This helps to maximize the officers’ time, as they can focus on other tasks that need to be done. Although some were initially skeptical of working with volunteers, the team has now embraced Animal Control Assistants as a key component to increasing efficiency & saving lives. 👏 https://t.co/wDxPiIuE1c

From @azia_and_ryan: "Little trick routine" #catsofinstagram https://t.co/CJmUKaepVU

From @thenormansanches: "sound on for some high-quality ASMR kitty crunch." #catsofinstagram https://t.co/oRaIYfbh4H

I wonder what he thinks of me

When Vanderburgh Humane Society got a call regarding 58 felines needing help, their dedicated team stepped up within an hour & accepted all 58 felines. 👏 According to the staff at VHS, "No other shelter had the capacity to take them, but after some scrambling, we said yes." https://t.co/T4IzuHtNxR

"Two hours later, all 58 cats arrived. They were shaken & sick. Many had injuries requiring surgery, signs of neurological disorders, & parasites. Loads of antibiotics & spays & neuters later… almost all have been adopted!" ❤️ Join us in thanking these heroic lifesavers!👏^kw https://t.co/thNdYep7tZ

Stella was also named Animal Control Officer of the Year in 2021! Her compassion, kindness, & understanding have shown citizens the vital role an ACO plays in the community & has gotten them on board with PCAS’ lifesaving mission. Way to go! 👏 #AnimalControlAppreciationWeek ^kw

Within this new role, she helps with the Pet Safety Net program, coordinating temporary boarding, one-time medical procedures, & sterilizations for pet owners in need. She also works tirelessly to help community cats as part of the Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate & Return program. https://t.co/M1qtY7vj78
