We have worked so hard to nurse these babies back to health from Parvo and they are now healthy and playful and full of life. It has been a hard work of sub Q fluids, cleaning poo,…

The kitten who was thrown over our fence the day before Thanksgiving was adopted by a lovely family who just adores her. She will get lots of attention and great care and she will never be abandoned again. We love happy endings around here.
