Christmas Giving OpportunityWe have a wonderful Christmas giving opportunity right here in our community to benefit homeless pets!! From November 1 through December 15, 2014 Dog Walkers & More at Coddle Creek, LLC is coordinating a collection of needed items for dogs and cats housed at the animal shelter operated by Iredell County and animals in foster care with two local rescue organizations. Presents 4 Pets is an annual project sponsored by members of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS). http://www.petsitters.org/
The recipients of our local Presents 4 Pets campaign for 2014 are:
We are currently contacting local veterinary hospitals, groomers, pet supply stores and other interested businesses regarding serving as a collection location. Stay tuned to our social media sites and be on the lookout for press releases to find out where the collection sites will be located.
The recipients have identified their most needed items. Now is the time to stock up if you see these items on sale.
Iredell County Animal Services also has some special needs for their surgery room.
Your participation in this Christmas Giving Opportunity will add to the safety, health and comfort of our homeless animals and enhance their chances at finding their perfect forever homes. Speaking of forever homes and such……foster or adoptive homes are always needed. If you cannot foster or adopt find out if you can help with transport. If you cannot transport, can you play with pets at the shelter? Can you share their pictures on your social media sites? Have you had your pets spayed or neutered?? On behalf of NAPPS Dog Walkers & More at Coddle Creek, LLC thanks you for contributing to Presents 4 Pets 2014.

Products for Cats These Pet Sitters Recommend
Products for Cats
As professional pet sitters, we scoop a LOT of kitty litter. Recently we were introduced to a litter that we can rave over. That’s right..the words printed on the box were actually true. We took care of three cats in a household that share one litter box. We made visits two times a day but were concerned about the potential odor. Not one bit. It was like magic in terms of sealing in the odor and not making a mess outside the box. We heartily recommend these products for cats.
Another product we were impressed with was the Just for Cats Calming Spray by Nature’s Miracle. We sprayed this on our shoes and notebooks before entering the home of three cats who had a less than perfect introduction when the newest cat was brought in. We were tasked with keeping one cat in a separate room due to a history of cat fights. One day that cat managed to get out of her room, but lo and behold there were no fireworks.
We used the product in two other households where visitors typically do not see one of the cats. Well, wouldn’t you know it….the cats came out of hiding in each household. We count that as a win for felines, feline owners and pet sitters
