We are always looking for different ways to help animals all around the globe, so we were thrilled when holistic nutritionist and animal advocate Kaitlin reached out to us in September asking for support. Also an old-time customer and friend, Kaitlin introduced us to Paws and Tails – a non-profit organization where she has been volunteering and shared with us their needs. After looking through their photos, we fell in love with the rescue animals and the people there who sacrifice a lot in order to help abandoned pets find a furrever loving home.
Who is Paws and Tails Organization?
Paws and Tails Adoptions is a non-profit organization in which their founder, Shirley, and volunteers are trying their best to save pets that are due to be euthanized or abandoned on the street.
After just 2 weeks of volunteering at the rescue, Kaitlin reached out to us on her own accord. She saw many rescue kitties who are in need of food, health support, and a furrever home, but as a non-profit, they have limited resources. That, however, didn’t stop her from reaching out to other organizations to look for support, as were happy to help!
As animal lovers ourselves, we are grateful to Paws and Tails Adoptions for doing so much to help these furkiddos in need. They inspired us to do more to help change the lives of these kitties, and we knew we could count on other NHV furmilies out there to help. And so, we decided to create a donation campaign that would allow everyone to show their love to these little ones.
Fundraising Campaign to Help Animals
We created a TikTok donation video, where the viewers could easily leave a like or share with their friends. The purpose of using a mainstream platform like TikTok was to give the beautiful work of Paws and Tails a higher visibility. We started by asking Kaitlin for additional photos of all the adorable feline friends at the shelter. These pictures melted our hearts, and we are head over heels for these sweeties!
We gathered 133 new followers on TikTok and 1047 views!
From November 3 to November 18, we donated $10 for every new follower on our TikTok page and an extra $100 for every 100 views in the video. And in the end, we raised $2377! We were so thankful for everyone that helped that we decided to round up the donation to a total of $2500.
It’s been so exciting to see the funds go in to support all the animals in need at Paws and Tails Adoptions. The whole NHV team has our fingers and paws crossed in hopes that these furkiddos find their forever homes soon and live the pampered life they deserve!
Natural Supplements for Rescue Pets
At NHV, we designed a bundle that can help support rescue furkiddos with the most common concerns. These little ones may live with multiple pets at the shelters or move a couple of times during their adoption or foster process. It takes time for some pets to adapt to a new environment, and these constant changes can be very stressful for them.
That’s where NHV Shelter Pet Happy Start Kit comes in to help support these little ones in adjusting to their new life with the help of Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris.
Stress and anxiety in pets lead to aggressive behavior and can affect even their immune system. That’s why we formulated calming and soothing supplements like NHV Matricalm. It can help reduce anxiety and undesirable behaviors in pets.
Anxiety may also lead to decreased appetite, which is why we also include NHV Multi Essentials in the kit. Multi Essentials can help fill nutritional voids as it is rich in vitamins and minerals.
In addition to decreased appetite, stress and anxiety can also cause gastrointestinal issues. NHV Plantaeris can help soothe the digestive tract and promote regular bowel function. This can be especially helpful when you just got a new kitty or puppy and are still trying to find a diet that works well for them.
We are happy to contribute to an organization that pours its hearts and souls out to help animals. We know how expensive it can be to care for these furkiddos. This is why we have a discount program for Canadian, and USA rescues with a confirmed non-profit status. If you volunteer at a registered rescue or help a non-profit organization that could use a special discount from us, share with them our rescue discount sign-up page.

Holistic Support for Rescued Puppies and Kittens
Giving a rescued pet a second chance at life is a beautiful thing to do! So many young pets are rescued from terrible situations or surrendered to shelters, so they may experience a lot of stress going from one place to another. Small changes can feel incredibly stressful for animals which can present as destructive or aggressive behavior. Unfortunately for rescued pets, it is hard to know what environment they were in or what they were eating before coming home with you. Foodwise, they may have been eating low-quality processed food that is missing essential nutrients or maybe they were malnourished (from living on the streets). To help ease your new furry friend into their forever home, we recommend adding natural supplements to their daily meals after they have been vaccinated and weaned. This preventative care plan is beneficial for supporting their overall health and to help slow down or prevent chronic illness (which may develop due to age, genetics, or environment). NHV Shelter Pet Happy Starter Hit contains Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris. This bundle of natural supplements has been formulated to calm stressed and anxious pets, help fill nutritional voids, and support quick recovery from diarrhea (which is prone to happen in young animals). To learn more about caring for your new furbaby, read our post on simple steps for a healthy puppy or kitten.
How NHV Supplements Provide A Comprehensive Adopted Puppy Kit and Kitten Kit
Changes in your new puppy or kitten’s environment can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they are super sensitive (some breeds of dogs and cats are more prone to stress) or have experienced trauma. To express this nervous energy, they may exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. To help ease your fluffy friend into their forever home, Matricalm’s blend of herbs like passion flower, chamomile and valerian contain soothing properties that may relax the body and improve the feeling of relaxation while the smell of lemon balm may instantly calm your pet’s nerves. Multi Essentials is like a multi-vitamin for pets. It helps to fill nutritional voids (especially for malnourished pets) and supports essential processes like blood pressure and metabolism. Puppies and kittens have very sensitive tummies so if you’re trying out different foods for them, or they mischievously snack on things they aren’t supposed to, Plantaeris’ blend of ingredients help to relax muscle cramping and helps lubricate delicate intestinal mucosa to aid proper digestion and help restore healthy bowel movements.

Long term use: Feed recommended dosage every other day (1 day on 1 day off). If used in large dosages or over a long period of time it may become irritating to the stomach lining. Some pets may require a larger dosage due to their metabolism. You can safely double the recommended dosage.

You can also use the dropper and squirt directly into the pet’s mouth.

Plantaeris is a gentle, natural vet-formulated supplement to help cat diarrhea. It is designed to help reduce symptoms of diarrhea and maintain normal bowel function. It also helps soothe and relieve spasms, and discomfort. Since this herbal formulation helps balance the body, it can be used on a longer-term basis if your cat suffers from frequent diarrhea (though it is vital to understand the underlying cause of diarrhea).
How to Stop a Cat’s Diarrhea
Diarrhea is a symptom of digestive disorders. In cats, it can be caused by inflammatory bowel disease, food allergies, parasites, or commonly an underlying condition, such as hyperthyroidism or kidney disease.
To help with cat diarrhea, make sure your pet is getting adequate water and nutrition as diarrhea can lead to weight loss, dehydration, vomiting, and lethargy. Remember that a cat can be eating the same food for years and still develop a food allergy to it. Talk to your vet to rule out any underlying conditions.
For days when your cat is suffering from acute diarrhea, the Plantaeris dosage may be safely doubled. You can then bring down the dosage to normal after the episode has passed. Try adding a bit of pumpkin to their diet to help bulk up stools.
