The second annual San Jose Cat Day will take over Paseo de San Antonio and the Post Street area from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. as a free celebration packed with vendors, kittens, and creative activities.

The Pet Assistance and Support Program has made it easier for thousands to enter shelters and move into permanent housing, serving 4,407 people between 2020 and 2024.

The MSPCA-Angell evacuated nearly 50 animals from its Cape Cod shelter on Tuesday after running low on fuel to power its generator during widespread power outages. In social media posts, the animal shelter asked for the public's help, and roughly a dozen people responded. The shelter posted on Facebook that it was operating on a generator and was running low on fuel.

A community defibrillator fundraiser has begun to remember a "very friendly and therapeutic" cat named Defib which moved into an ambulance station in east London 18 years ago. Defib lived at Walthamstow Ambulance Station, after being rescued by paramedics as a kitten in 2008 and "adored by them ever since". In 2024, the cat was faced with eviction from his home but this was overturned after more than 62,000 people signed an online petition.

Falmouth Fire and Rescue stabilized the ground surface and determined that crews could not enter the hole because of a potential collapse.

Carl Crowther, 53, said that he had been expecting a package on Monday 19 January, but had been forced to leave to go to his job as a maintenance man about an hour before it arrived at approximately 2.30pm. Upon viewing the footage the next day, expecting to see the driver place the package on his doorstep, Crowther instead caught the man as he appeared to steal his cat, Nora, saying that the man comes right up the door, picks up the cat, turns around and walks off.

When a neighbor reports a lost dog in the Ring app, nearby outdoor cameras use AI to scan for possible matches. If a match is found, that camera owner receives an alert and can optionally choose to share any related video clips with their neighbor who reported the pet missing. They'll also have an option to call the owner or send them a message, without sharing their own phone number.

Carl Crowther, one of Nora's owners, wrote on Facebook on Wednesday evening: We are delighted to announce that she was returned home safe and well. Obviously we are over the moon with this outcome. Crowther had previously said a large part of the family's distress was due to Nora having a heart murmur that required medication. He said they are not going into details regarding her return due to ongoing investigations but he thanked people who had shared his posts or helped in any way, who he said included neighbours, strangers and his local councillors.

But if we're not prepared, panic and confusion can hinder our ability to act appropriately when they need us most. The best way to increase your chances of responding quickly and calmly is to familiarize yourself with basic pet first aid techniques. Though never a substitute for veterinary treatment, properly applied first aid can minimize a pet's trauma and even save their life until you are able to transport them to a veterinarian,

The dogs come to be judged. The owners and handlers come to uphold breed standards. And, almost as reliably as the movie references and the best-in-show ribbon, Peta arrives ready to dominate the conversation. If there is one certainty about the Super Bowl of canines, it's that the protest will share the stage with the pageantry. Westminster is an annual collision of tradition, spectacle and dissent, and Peta has become exceptionally good at owning that moment.
