Halloween is a time for fun and frights, but for our furry friends, it can be a season of stress and danger. From spooky decorations to the constant doorbell ringing, it’s essential to take steps to ensure your pets stay safe and calm. Here’s how you can help your dogs and cats enjoy a stress-free Halloween:

 Top Tips for Pet Safety This Halloween

1. Keep Candy Out of Reach
   Chocolate, xylitol (found in sugar-free gum and candies), raisins, and certain nuts are toxic to pets. Store all treats securely and educate children about the dangers of sharing their sweets with animals. PAWS

2. Avoid Costumes That Cause Stress
   If dressing up your pet, ensure the costume is comfortable and doesn’t restrict movement, vision, or breathing. Avoid costumes with small, detachable parts that could be swallowed. Humane World for Animals

3. Create a Safe Space
   With the doorbell ringing frequently and strangers in costumes, Halloween can be overwhelming for pets. Set up a quiet, comfortable area away from the front door where your pet can relax. ASPCA

4. Beware of Decorations
   Keep decorations like candles, glow sticks, and small items out of your pet’s reach. Opt for battery-operated candles instead of real flames to prevent fire hazards. PetMD

5. Secure Your Pets Indoors
   The hustle and bustle of Halloween can lead to accidental escapes. Keep pets indoors and away from the door during peak trick-or-treating hours. Eastern Animal Hospital

On Saturday 12th September, we headed to Cat Show Live at the NEC in Birmingham for a brilliant day of cats, conversations and fundraising!

We loved getting out and about, meeting cat lovers and introducing RAIN Rescue to so many new people. It was a great opportunity to chat about our rescue work, the animals in our care and the many ways people can support RAIN.

£434.32 raised for RAIN’s animals

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, donated and took the time to chat with us, we raised an amazing £434.32 for the animals at RAIN.

Every donation helps towards the care our animals need, from food and enrichment to veterinary treatment and everything in between.

But it wasn’t just the fundraising that made the day special. We got to share RAIN’s story with so many people who hadn’t heard of us before – and hopefully welcome some new faces into the RAIN family.

A huge thank you to everyone who came to say hello, supported us and helped make the day such a success.

£434.32 raised, lots of new people met and one very happy RAIN team!
