Over $220,000 Raised for NICU Babies in Cat Country Cares for Kids Radiothon

Posted on: August 17th, 2024 by brent

Radiothon check 2024During the 2024 Cat Country Cares for Kids Radiothon, patients and their families shared their stories on the impact caregivers at Studer Family Children’s Hospital have made in their lives. Generous members of the community pledged $220,538 to support the Studer Family Children’s Hospital NICU Angel Eye Program. This program involves procuring 72 cameras to offer live-streaming video access to monitor every child’s progress live in the NICU. This system enables care teams and families to share important milestones and heartwarming moments through real-time updates.

Listeners tuned in to Cat Country 98.7 FM, NewsRadio 92.3 FM and WEAR ABC 3 throughout the day, getting first-hand perspectives from children and caretakers who have benefitted from the care offered at the Studer Family Children’s Hospital at Ascension Sacred Heart.

“I would like to thank all the people who made this event a success including our media partners, volunteers, associates and the community members who joined us in supporting our community’s most vulnerable children,” said Adrienne Maygarden, president of the Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation. “I also want to thank our pediatric patients and their families for trusting us with their care. It is truly a blessing to take part in an event so impactful to the next generation of our Northwest Florida community.”

“We are so grateful for the generosity of our listeners and community members who made this event possible,” said Cat Country radio host Brent Lane. “For six years now, Cat Country 98.7 has been privileged to partner with the Studer Family Children’s Hospital to raise funds in support of our community’s children and their families. Thank you Pensacola.”

“Radiothon offers a chance to play a part in helping support the Studer Family Children’s Hospital – a facility which plays such a big role in saving and touching lives of our community on a daily basis,” said Mel McCrae, radio co-host with Cat Country 98.7 “It feels so special to play a role in fundraising for the the Angel Eye Program and offer needed relief to new parents who have to spend time away from their precious babies.”

Gifts for the hospital also can be made at https://givesacredheart.org/donate/. For more information, or if you have questions, please call Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation at 850-746-1090

Keep your dogs safe and happy on the 4th!

Posted on: July 4th, 2024 by brent

This article is lovingly borrowed from the amazing site Pet MD:

 

Like many Americans, you may be planning to have a festive Fourth of July. Along with barbeques and day at the beach, no July holiday celebration would be complete without enjoying the fireworks that celebrate the birth of our nation.

 

Perhaps you are considering staying at home and planning a get-together with friends and family. Or, you may want to go check out your local professional fireworks display. While putting the finishing touches on your planned celebration, take a moment to consider your pets.

 

Unlike people, pets don’t associate the noise, flashes, and burning smell of pyrotechnics with celebrations. Pets are terrified of fireworks, and often panic at the loud whizzes and bangs they produce.

 

Because of this, the American Humane Association reports that July 5 is the busiest day of the year for animal shelters. Why? In a 2005 press release the Indiana Proactive Animal Welfare, Inc. (PAW) stated that animal shelters the day after Fourth of July are “inundated with pets that panicked at the noise of firecrackers and fled into the night, winding up lost, injured or killed.”

 

Both the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and PAW have listed ways you can prevent your holiday celebration from turning into a tragedy. Here are 10 tips on how to keep your pet from panicking this Fourth of July weekend.

 

10. Keep your Pet Indoors at All Times!

 

It may seem obvious, but even if your pet is used to being outside, the resulting panic caused by fireworks or other loud noises may make them break their restraint or jump a fence in a terrified attempt to find safety.

 

9. Don’t Put Insect Repellant on Your Pet that isn’t Specifically for Pet Use

 

The same tip applies to applying “people” sunscreen on your pet. What isn’t toxic to humans can be toxic to animals. The ASPCA lists the poisonous effects of sunscreen on your pet as, “…drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst and lethargy.” DEET, a common insecticide, may cause neurological issues.

 

8. Alcoholic Drinks Poison Pets

 

If your pet drinks alcohol, they can become dangerously intoxicated, go into a coma, or in severe cases, die from respiratory failure. Yes, even beer is toxic; fermented hops and ethanol are poisonous to dogs and cats.

 

7. Going to a Fireworks Display? Leave Your Pet at Home

 

The safest place for your pet is at home, not in a crowded, unfamiliar and noisy place. The combination of too many people and loud fireworks will make your beloved pet freak out and desperately seek shelter. Locking them in the car is also not an option; your pet may suffer brain damage and heat stroke.

 

6. Have Your Pet Properly Identified

 

If your pet manages to break loose and become lost, without proper identification it will be that much harder to get them back. Consider fitting your pet with microchip identification, ID tags with their name and your phone number, or both. It is also a good idea to have a recent picture of your pets in case you have to put up signs.

 

 

5. Keep Your Pet Away from Glow Jewelry

 

It might look cute, but your pet could chew up and swallow the plastic adornments. The ASPCA states that while not highly toxic, “excessive drooling and gastrointestinal irritation could still result from ingestions, and intestinal blockage could occur from swallowing large pieces of the plastic containers.”

 

4. NEVER Use Fireworks Around Pets

 

While lit fireworks can pose a danger to curious pets and potentially result in severe burns and/or trauma to the face and paws, even unused fireworks can be hazardous. Some fireworks contain potentially toxic substances such as arsenic, potassium nitrate, and other heavy metals.

 

3. Don’t Give Your Pet “Table Food”

 

If you are having a backyard barbeque, you may be tempted to slip some snacks to your pet. But like beer and chocolate, there are other festive foods that could harm your pet. Onions, coffee, avocado, grapes & raisins, salt and yeast dough are all possible hazards for dogs and cats.

 

2. Lighter Fluid and Matches Are Harmful to Pets.

 

The ASPCA lists chlorates as a harmful chemical substance found in some matches that, if ingested, can cause your pet difficulty in breathing, damage blood cells or even cause kidney disease. If exposed to lighter fluid, your pet may sustain skin irritation on contact, respiratory problems if inhaled, and gastric problems if ingested.

 

1. Citronella Insect Control Products Harm Pets, Too.

 

Oils, candles, insect coils and other citronella-based repellants are irritating toxins to pets, according to the ASPCA. The result of inhalation can cause severe respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia, and ingestion can harm your pet’s nervous system.

 

***

 

The safest and best bet for celebrating this Fourth of July with your pets is to exclude them from holiday festivities, at least this time around. Instead, find a safe, secure spot in the home for your pets while you go out and enjoy the loud bangs, bright lights and spectator fun. Your pets will appreciate the quiet a lot more than you’ll enjoy the noise.
