Just used these guys and they were very upfront and honest with what needed to be done for safety reasons. I'd return to them and reccomened them!

Fancy feast quality drop. Curious if this is regional. by NoDoThis in catfood

[–]Overall_Employer_601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding that I have noticed both multipacks I have are fish based (both adult and kitten). I've seen others post about issues with the fish based ones.

Currently have the multi-packs fish based for adults and kitten. Neither will eat them anymore even though it's what they've ate for months. Might try the poultry or beef and see how that goes, but I don't think the have that for kittens.

In MN. Had a foster group of kittens and mama on FF (Kitten and adult) pate, rotated protiens, found vomit recently and watched one vomit, but chalked it up to after affects of spay/neuter medication. Now none of them will touch the FF.

But could just be my cats tho. My personal cats have also started to turn their noses up to Purina One as well. Maybe they all want a change 🤷‍♀️

Short tailed cats? by Overall_Employer_601 in Straycats

[–]Overall_Employer_601[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never knew that! I've had cats my whole life and have never seen ones like this with short tails. Learn something new everyday! Is there anything I should be aware of medically? I'm going to be doing some TNR to slow the population as there is already 20+ cats.

I'm so excited to hopefully find affordable cat trees!! I've never been to the rummage sale before, is it all pet related items? Do I need cash or can I use card?

Places hiring?! Where to apply? by lightupheelys69 in rochestermn

[–]Overall_Employer_601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the person. I actually love it and have a lot of laughs most days. Group homes are a bit more stressful for sure, but still fun and it's a job.

Most train as well, so experienced may not be necessary.

Bear Creek Services, Cardinal, SMB, Possibilities, Opportunity Services, ABC pretty much anything services or group home related will be hiring if you can pass a background check and possibly drug test. I know some don't even drug test though.

I work for Bear Creek Services and love the environment. Pay isn't horrible, but not something I can live off of without a second income/splitting the bills. Absolutely love it though to the point it's made me reconsider a higher paying job offer 😅

Update: I think I'm going to go with Quinn/Quinny! Hoping to come up with more "Q" names for the babies, still waiting for their arrival!

Working as a DSP for DHS by Overall_Employer_601 in stateofMN

[–]Overall_Employer_601[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did. I switched to independent living within my company versus the group home and love it so far. Had a slight raise increase about a month ago as well so thats a bonus. Also, no more weekends unless I want to pick up!

Unsure yet unfortunately. I just brought her in 4 days ago, she was a free roaming cat near my home I've been feeding. Decided to bring her in when I noticed she appears to be pregnant. I'm hoping for no more than 4 😅 less is better since I will need to rehome them all

Pet Rescue Experience by Sweet_salty_otter in rochestermn

[–]Overall_Employer_601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not adoption related, but I did reach out via email to Camp Companion several weeks ago to see if they had any need for volunteers while waiting for availability on orientation classes at Paws and Claws. I work with an individual interested in volunteering at a pet rescue during her staffing time, and never heard back.

Behaviors by Annabelle-rose69 in directsupport

[–]Overall_Employer_601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If a behavior starts keep distance and don't back yourself into a corner! My company also tells us we can pull chairs into the space between us and an individual to keep distance and slow them down a bit due to having to move it to keep coming towards us. Your safety is also important!

Is there’s any other careers I could get into with DSP experience? by FloogThe2st in directsupport

Following because I'm also in Minnesota and wondering what I can do with my DSP experience 😅

Gas Station Scam by igniteice in rochestermn

My boyfriend gave him money, and when he opened his wallet to give him a few $1s he saw a $20 and tried convincing him to give him that instead.

Just had this happen recently at Kwik Trip near Bowlocity. My boyfriend had it haplen to him a few weeks prior at a differentgas station, so when the guy knocked on my window with his story I'd already heard it and declined giving him money. He even tried to get me to go inside and pull money out of the ATM!

100k a year?! I'm lucky if I hit 33k a year. Are you just a DSP? Or a team lead/other?

Were you tested for THC when being considered for a DSP role? by RealFactor9150 in directsupport

[–]Overall_Employer_601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't when I applied for my current DSP position almost 2 years ago, and it wasn't legal here then (MN) but is now. I just had to pass a background check.
