Lingering Pet Odors
Q: I am writing in regard to your
recent column on older cats that are soiling their owner's carpet and what to
do about the smell.
There is a wonderful organization in
Brooklyn, N Y., called Muffin's Pet Connection.
One of its tips for getting rid of cat's
spraying and regular urine smells is white vinegar.
It seems to work so I thought I would
send it along to you. You might want to check out Muffin's Website
www.muffins.org

A: Thanks, Elyse! White vinegar
is a fairly gentle cleaner and is worth a try, especially by pet owners
exasperated by lingering odors.
Muffin's
Pet Connection is indeed a wonderful non-profit organization.
Its mission is to assist pet owners in placing dogs, cats, ferrets, iguanas -
you name it - in loving homes. It is not a shelter; owners continue to
care for their pets while a new home for them is found.
This certainly eases some of the stress that
a pet goes through when leaving one family and being adopted by another.
It also helps the owner know that his or her pet will go to a loving family
rather than a dubious future at a shelter.
Thanks for giving great advice all around!
Folks, check out Muffin's Pet
Connection to find out more about the services it provides to the
pet community in New York City.
