Jean,

Thank you so much for funding my feral cats. I appreciate it so much. I wanted them healthy and spayed before I had a pile of kittens!

That is so wonderful of you to work on the cat population.

I’m glad there are people like you in our world.

Sincerely,
Celia

I will forever be thankful for your generosity and I will continue to care for those that were left on my property unwanted and to starve. …

“Wonderful Human Alert!” – From Maureen, Kit, and Kaboodle

So, “Kit and Kaboodle” are now residing at my place and are becoming a …

How much do you know about Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)?

  This graphic found online gives us important information about FIV, such as: Cats who test positive for FIV live just as long as FIV-negative cats. FIV is mainly transmitted through deep bite wounds, not casual contact, grooming, or sharing of water bowls. This means that a non-aggressive FIV-positive cat can safely live with non-aggressive FIV-negative cats. FIV+ cats need love too! Click below to see full information sheet:     . . .
