Bringing a new pet home?  Remember the 3-3-3 Rule!

Whether you're adopting a cat or a dog, transitioning into a new home takes time, patience, and love. The 3-3-3 rule is a simple guide to help both pets and people adjust with care:

3 Days to decompress
3 Weeks to start adjusting
3 Months to trust

It’s all about setting realistic expectations and avoiding the urge to rush. Give your new best friend the space they need to settle in, learn your routine, and build trust.

Every animal is different, but with consistency, love, and patience—they’ll come out of their shell and into your heart.

Painting with a Purrrpose, a Simba-Kai Foundation event, was held in collaboration with Lilys Cat Cafe and Roshells Art on April 5th, 2025.

It was a relaxed evening with great energy—plenty of painting, conversation, and support. Thank you to everyone who came through and spent their Saturday evening with us.

Big thanks as always to our team, who continue to show up and make events like this possible.

We’ll see you at the next one.

As temperatures rise, it’s important to take extra precautions to keep our pets safe. Unlike humans, pets have limited ways to cool down, relying on panting and external factors, making them more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses.

One of the biggest dangers is heatstroke, which can happen quickly in extreme temperatures. Signs to watch for include excessive panting, drooling, weakness, and vomiting. If you notice any of these symptoms, take immediate action by moving your pet to a cool area and seeking veterinary care.

To prevent overheating, always provide fresh water, ensure they have shade or a cool indoor space, and avoid taking them on walks during the hottest parts of the day. Never leave pets in a parked car, as temperatures inside can become dangerously high within minutes. Regular grooming can also help, especially for long-haired breeds, by reducing excess fur that traps heat.

By taking these simple steps, we can keep our pets comfortable and safe.  Stay vigilant, stay cool, and keep your pets protected!
