Meet fluffies of Freedom sanctuary
Every furry friend deserves a loving home. Save a life, and make a lifelong companion. Together, let’s give a second chance and create a world where every tail wags with joy. Also, there are pets who have a permanent stay in the sanctuary due to their disability to live outside the sanctuary or simply because we can’t say Goodbye to them. You are very welcome to donate or even become a sponsor.

Domestic cats spend 50% of their days sleeping.
Nope! That's too less
Domestic cats spend about 70% of their days sleeping and 15% of the day grooming. Cats have the physiology of a predator, meaning they are wired to chase and hunt at night, reserving their daytime energy.

Meowing is a language cats reserve for their humans.
Adult cats communicate with each other through scent, facial expression, body language, and touch. With humans, cats use meowing to communicate with you as they are dependent on you and cats quickly learn that the “scent messages” left for you are not being picked up. Meowing gets them what they need and want.
Oopsey!

What part of a dog is as unique as a human fingerprint?
Nope! It is nose, of course
Correct! The pattern of bumps and grooves in the skin, and the shape of the nostrils (called nares), are different for every dog.
Sorry, but no!
How can it be correct?!

Cats use whiskers like measuring tape, and to navigate.
Cats use their whiskers to navigate through the world. They use them to help determine if they can fit in a small space because their whiskers are approximately the same width as their body. This is why you shouldn’t cut your cat’s whiskers.
You really didn't know that?!

What part of the body does a dog sweat from?

Unfortunately, wrong!
So sorry, but nope!
Correct! Most dog sweat is released through glands in the paw pads. And, unlike humans, sweating is not an effective way for dogs to cool themselves.

Cats and dogs are colorblind.
Wrong!
Correct! Your pet can see some colors, but not others. Where humans have blue, red, and green cones to see light sources cats and dogs have very few red compared to humans. So they see the world mostly in shades of blue, gray, and yellow.

Cats are nocturnal.
Nope! Can you believe that?!
Surprise! If cats were nocturnal, they'd be up all night. Cats are actually crepuscular, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. Have you noticed your cat loves to play and gets the "zoomies" during these time periods?

Which of these senses does a dog use the most?
Of course! It has been estimated that a dog's sense of smell is 100,000 times more powerful than a human's. Scientists think that dogs have about 2 billion olfactory receptors
Nope, but dogs have much more sensitive hearing than humans, hearing sounds four times farther away than we can.
Wrong, but dogs can feel more nuanced emotions like excitement, distress, contentment, anxiety, shyness, anticipation, and even love.
Wrong, dogs must be 20 feet from an object to see it as well as a human standing 75 feet away.

Both cat "years" and dog "years" equal seven years of human life.
Unfortunately, wrong
In terms of development, the first year of a cat’s life is equal to the first 15 years of a human’s life. At his 2-year birthday, a cat is at the development level of a 25-year-old human. After the first two years, each following year equal to an additional 7 years.
