After two police officers in Texa were finished dealing with a shoplifting call at a local TJ Maxx store, they suddenly met two tiny kittens who needed to help. The poor kitties were stuck under a car in the store’s parking lot.

When the officers stepped out the store, they heard tiny meows coming from somewhere underneath the car. They quickly figured out exactly where the kittens were. Joe Bob Adkins, one of the officers carefully reached under the car and gently removed the tiny kittens (around 6 weeks old).

“They located the kittens inside the bumper where most likely the mother cat had placed them for some reason,” Jesse Minton, of the Arlington Police Department, told The Dodo. “The owner of the car advised she did not own a cat and had no idea how the kittens got in there.”

As soon as the kittens were safe, Officer Adkins took them back to the police car, trying to make them feel safe and loved. The more time they spent with their new friend Officer Adkins, the more the tiny kittens fell in love with him. They even couldn’t stop cuddling with him and curled up on his chest in the sweetest way.

The officers immediately took the kittens to a vet to check out and luckily, they were in fairly good condition. The kittens were hungry because they’d been under the car in a long time. Therefore, the officers fed them some formula out of a tiny bottle and they were so happy.

The two kittens are now settled into their new home with Officer Adkins and are adapting very well. At first, Adkins didn’t have a plan on taking home two new family members that day, but as soon as they cuddled up to him, he couldn’t resist. He decided to adopt them into his family and give them new names ‘TJ’ and ‘Max’.

When it comes to adopting a dog, most people often adopt healthy and young dogs instead of disabled and elderly dogs. They do that because taking care of these dogs is difficult and expensive. But thankfully, there are many good people out there who are willing to do everything to help these poor dogs no matter what happens.

Meet Chris and Mariesa Hughes, a couple who lives in Clifton Park, NY. They are parents to 20 dogs who are old and have many health problems.

The couple runs a non-profit organization called The Mr. Moment Venture. They recognized the need for such an organization after their elderly dog, Mo, passed away, leaving big vet bills behind. They understand that when dog owners don’t have money to pay for these bills, they will abandon and surrender their dogs to animals shelters. This realization prompted the opening of their own organization to make sure that senior pups all around the country get the proper care.

“Senior dogs deserve the best for the rest of their lives. We believe that senior dogs deserve homes too!” The Mr. Mo Project writes on its site.

Chris and Mariesa have already rescued hundreds of dogs from euthanasia, as well as helping them receive treatment and find forever homes. However, the most special care goes to the 20 dogs that are currently living in their home. To make sure they are happy and healthy, the pair has already spent over $55,000 to customize their house. They want to turn their house into a haven for these dogs.

The couple has bought a $30,000 hydrotherapy pool, so that the dogs can benefit from some low-impact exercise. In addition to that, they got a custom $5,000 king-sized bed so they could sleep with their pups. Their home features dog-friendly with ramps, floor mats, plastic sheets, and more.

Is it difficult to care for 20 elderly and special needs dogs living under one roof, but they manage it well. “It is crazy living with 20 dogs, but we make it work as we have a great routine,” Chris said. The couple spends 45 minutes each morning feeding the bunch and giving them medication.

The biggest struggle comes with the vet bills. “We try and raise as much money as we can, but ultimately, if one dog needs $20,000 worth of treatment, we will pay for it on credit cards and worry about it later. There’s always a vet bill to pay, but we have learnt to get on with it and although it’s stressful, it’s all worth it,” Chris said.

What a beautiful family and an incredible reminder that senior and disabled dogs deserves as much love as every other dog.

It was already a super, super hot day in Texas. Plano Animal Shelter received a call about a kitten being in a storm drain. After that, an animal rescuer named Mary quickly went there to save the poor animal.

When Mary got over to the ledge, all she could see was concrete. It was a deep tunnel she had gotten herself in. Despite being difficult to save the kitten, Mary didn’t give up. After all efforts, she finally got the kitten out safely. Mary didn’t want to leave the kitten, so she brought her home to foster and named her Pennywise.

“She was just, like, limp. I started, kind of, pouring water in her mouth and she was lapping it up like a dog. Which I’d never seen a cat do. She came to, and that’s when I could breathe again. The whole team was in action. We got fluids in her. She instantly was perking up. It was just a relief,” Mary shared.

Mary has a dog named Sawyer, who does not like a lot of visitors. However, he really loves cats, especially kittens. For this reason, he instantly fell in love with the rescue kitten. Pennywise’s personality came out, especially when she met Sawyer.

“They have a really sweet relationship. He kinda nursed her in his own little way. For being a little 2-pound kitten, she held her own around my 50-pound dog. It made sense that she held her own in that tunnel. She just has a lot of gusto,” Mary said.

Watch the full rescue in the video below:

Mary wasn’t quite ready to leave the kitten, but she had to let her go. And a few weeks later, she got adopted! Mary and all animal rescuers from Plano Animal Shelter are so happy for Pennywise!

Researchers have found that baking soda successfully removes most of the pesticides from fruits and vegetables. In fact, it eliminates up to 96% of pesticides from vegetables and fruits, therefore it’s known as one of the best and cheap cleaning solutions.

There can be all kinds of pesticides on fruits and vegetables so cleaning them should be a step you don’t want to miss. Fortunately, baking soda is highly alkaline and easily neutralizes germs and bacteria by breaking them down into tiny molecules.

Here are 3 study results in removing pesticide residue from fresh produce

• Tap water

Tap water didn’t remove pesticides completely even after a 2-minute scrubbing the produce.

• A 1% baking soda/water solution

Baking soda solution removes more than 80% of the thiabendazole from apples after 12 and 15 minute soaks. It was even more effective in removing the phosmet, at 96 percent after washing for the same amount of time.

• Bleach solution approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency

Thiabendazole and phosmet are really different. The first goes 80 micrometers deep in the apple, while the phosmet goes about 20 micrometers deep in the fruit.

How to use baking soda to remove pesticides from your fruits and vegetables:

Simply add a few tablespoons of baking soda to a bowl of water. Then, place the product in the solution to soak for 10-15 minutes. Lastly, rinse with cold water. The method is very cost-effective and extremely powerful.
