🤍✨ BEAUTIFUL SNOW WHITE GIRL SEEKING HER FOREVER FAMILY ✨🤍

Hi there! My name is Penne, and apparently being this gorgeous comes with a little bit of a problem…

Everyone notices my beautiful fluffy white fur and those golden eyes. 👀🤍

But what I really want is for someone to notice ME.

I’m 2 years old, sweet, affectionate, and absolutely in love with getting attention from my people. Once I’m comfortable, I’m more than happy to soak up the love!

I’ll admit… I can be a little shy when we first meet. New people and new surroundings can feel like a lot sometimes. But give me a little patience, a little kindness and a little time, and I’ll start showing you the sweet girl underneath all this fabulous fluff. 🥰

🐾 MY RESUME INCLUDES:
🤍 Professional attention seeker
🤍 Expert love absorber
🤍 Fluffy white coat model
🤍 Golden-eye specialist
🤍 Certified cat-friend enthusiast

And speaking of cat friends… I LOVE them! 🐱💕 I’d be happiest in a home where I have some feline companionship to keep me company.

What am I looking for?

A loving human who understands that the best relationships take a little time to grow. Someone who won’t rush me, but will let me blossom at my own pace.

Because I have a feeling that once I know I’m safe…I’m going to be one very special little lovebug. 🤍

So, if your home has room for a gorgeous white girl with golden eyes, a tender heart and a whole lot of love waiting to come out…

Maybe we should meet. 🥹🐾

📞 Call Tails to Tell at 403.946.0400 to book your appointment and come meet Penne!

She may arrive a little shy…but she just might leave with your heart. 🤍

🐱💛 WHAT DOES AN INDOOR CAT MISS? 💛🐱

Bird-watching from a sunny windowsill? Absolutely. Chasing imaginary monsters down the hallway at 3 AM? Obviously. Claiming your favourite chair as their personal throne? Without question. 😂

While outdoor life offers exciting sights, sounds and smells, it also comes with some very real dangers.

🚗 Busy roads and quiet streets where vehicles can cause serious injuries.
🦉 Predators like coyotes, hawks, owls and loose dogs.
🩹 Bite wounds, scratches and infections from fights with other animals.
🦠 Serious diseases, including Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).
🦟 Fleas, ticks, mites and intestinal parasites.
💔 The risk of cruelty, poisoning, traps and other human-caused dangers.
🥶 Freezing winter temperatures and dangerous summer heat.

The truth? Cats living outdoors face risks that indoor cats can largely avoid. Outdoor-only and stray cats often have much shorter lives than cats kept safely indoors.

But does indoor life have to mean missing out on adventure? NOT AT ALL! 🐾

You can give your curious kitty a taste of the great outdoors while keeping safety a priority:
🌿 Build a secure catio where they can sniff the breeze, watch birds and soak up the sunshine.
🪶 Offer interactive toys, climbing trees, puzzle feeders and daily playtime to keep their minds and bodies busy.
🐈 Try gradual leash training with a properly fitted harness, if your cat enjoys it. Always supervise outdoor time and use a secure harness and leash.
🪟 Create a window-watching station for premium bird TV!

Indoor cats can live long, happy, fulfilling lives when we give them a safe environment, plenty of enrichment, play and love.

Because what does an indoor cat miss? Some dangers, certainly. Some freedom, perhaps.

But with a little creativity, they don't have to miss out on excitement, fresh air, sunshine or a life full of adventure. 💛

🐾 Tell us: What's your cat's favourite indoor adventure?

New Intake

We received 2 kittens earlier today. They are approximately 4 weeks old.
They were found on an acreage near Madden.

If you believe this is your cat please call 403-946-0400 ext 6.
Proof of ownership is required.

Friendly Reminder: Any cats not claimed within 3 days (10 days if they have a microchip or tattoo) will become part the Tails To Tell family and may be getting ready for their forever homes.
Thank you for understanding.

WE DID IT!!

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, shared our posts, cheered us on, and thought of us along the way!

Our walk from Banff to Canmore started off a little chilly, but the weather turned out to be perfect. The scenery was beautiful, and the fall colours were absolutely amazing!

We made it through the full 27 km—definitely a little tired and a little sore, but it was so worth it! We’re incredibly grateful that we could celebrate Ellie’s 17th birthday while raising money for Tails to Tell and supporting the cats who need it most.

We have left the link active until October 15th, to give people a chance to donate if they haven’t yet but still want too.

Thank you for being part of our journey and helping make this birthday one to remember!

Thank you so much,
Ellie and crew!

❤️🐾 THEY’RE MORE THAN PETS. THEY’RE FAMILY. 🐾❤️

Take a moment and picture your pets at home while you’re out for the day. Their favourite sleeping spots. The toys scattered across the floor. The little faces waiting for you to come through the door. 🐶🐱

Now imagine an emergency happening when you aren’t there.

It’s something none of us wants to think about. But if first responders needed to enter your home, would they know exactly who was waiting inside?

That’s where StickerPix Creations’ Personalized Emergency Pet Decals can make a difference. 💛

Unlike a standard “PETS INSIDE” sticker, these personalized decals feature photos of YOUR actual pets, along with your phone number. That means responders have a better chance of recognizing the furry, feathered or four-legged family members who may need help.

🐶 Dogs. 🐱 Cats. 🐰 Rabbits. 🐦 Birds.

Because family comes in all shapes, sizes and species!

We hope you’ll never need this extra layer of preparedness. But love isn’t just about the cuddles, treats and happy greetings when we get home. Sometimes, it’s about taking small steps today to help protect them tomorrow. ❤️

And there’s an extra reason to feel good about ordering!

🐾 A portion of every purchase goes directly back to Tails to Tell Rescue Shelter, helping us care for cats who are still waiting for their own happy endings.

Christine, the animal-loving creator behind StickerPix Creations, offers FREE mailing throughout Canada and the US!

A small decal. A little extra peace of mind. And support for rescue cats who need us.

Because they aren’t just pets in our homes. They’re the ones who make our homes feel like home. 🐾❤️

🎂🐾 17 YEARS OLD. 27 KM. ONE BIG HEART! 🥾💛

Some teenagers ask for birthday presents.
Ellie? She’s asking for something a little different…

HELP FOR RESCUE CATS! 🐱💕

And she’s putting some serious kilometres behind that birthday wish!

TODAY, Ellie will celebrate her 17th birthday by taking on approximately 27 KM of the Legacy Trail from Banff to Canmore, alongside family and friends Lorie Sachs and Donna Ebeling! 🥾⛰️
(Note: changed from Canmore to Banff)

Yep… TWENTY-SEVEN kilometres! 😳

But Ellie has been taking steps for rescue cats for years. She started volunteering with Tails to Tell when she was just 10 years old, and now she’s turning her birthday into a fundraiser for the cats she loves. 💛🐾

💛 DONATE TO ELLIE’S FUNDRAISER:
👉 https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/walking-for-tails-to-tell-canmore-to-banff

AND HERE’S THE REALLY EXCITING PART… 👀🎉
An anonymous donor will MATCH every dollar donated, up to $2,500!

That means:
🐾 $25 becomes $50
🐾 $100 becomes $200
🐾 $500 becomes $1,000!

DOUBLE THE IMPACT FOR THE KITTIES! 💥🐱

Every dollar helps Tails to Tell provide food, medical care, shelter and second chances to cats in need.

So let’s get behind Ellie and make her 17th birthday one to remember!

🥾 Walk with her.
💛 Donate to her.
📣 Share her fundraiser.
🐾 Cheer her on!

Let’s send Ellie, Lorie and Donna onto that trail with a whole lot of Tails to Tell love behind them!

Because 27 KM is a long way…but apparently not too far to go for cats. 🐱💛

This fundraiser has been reviewed and approved by the Tails to Tell Fundraising Committee.

🚨🥾 TOMORROW IS ELLIE’S BIG DAY! 🥾🚨

The backpacks are ready. The walking shoes are waiting. The birthday girl is about to hit the trail… and the kitties are counting on her! 🐱💛

Tomorrow, Saturday, October 3, 17-year-old Ellie is celebrating her birthday in a very special way — by walking approximately 27 KM of the Legacy Trail from Banff to Canmore to raise money for the cats of Tails to Tell! ⛰️🐾
(Note: changed from Canmore to Banff)

And she won’t be doing it alone!

Ellie will be joined by family and friends Lorie Sachs and Donna Ebeling for this BIG birthday adventure. 🥾💕

Twenty-seven kilometres is a LOT of birthday steps… but Ellie has been putting her heart into helping rescue cats for years.

She started volunteering with Tails to Tell when she was just 10 years old. Six years later, she’s still showing up for the kitties — and this time she’s turning her birthday into something extra special. 🎂🐱

🐾 WANT TO BE PART OF TEAM ELLIE?

You can join them on the trail for all 27 KM or just walk along for part of the adventure!

And if hiking isn’t your thing, you can still cheer Ellie on from home by supporting her fundraiser. 📣💛

🎉 HERE’S THE REALLY COOL PART:
An anonymous donor will MATCH every dollar donated, up to $2,500!

So your donation gets to go twice as far for the cats:
🐾 $25 → $50
🐾 $50 → $100
🐾 $100 → $200

That’s DOUBLE the help for rescue cats! 💥🐱

💛 DONATE TO ELLIE’S FUNDRAISER:
👉 https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/walking-for-tails-to-tell-canmore-to-banff

Tomorrow is about birthdays, big adventures, tired feet, beautiful scenery… and a whole lot of love for rescue cats.

So let’s send Ellie some BIG Tails to Tell love before she takes that first step! 🥾🐾

💛 Donate.
📣 Share.
🥾 Walk with her.
🎂 Wish her a HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY!

Good luck, Ellie, Lorie and Donna! We’ll be cheering you on every kilometre of the way! 🐱💛

IT'S MINI VACAY TIME!
