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

Mountains of Gratitude

Dear Jean, I am sending you mountains of gratitude for what you do. Thanks to the kindness of your heart I was able to get my “cat clan” neutered to stop the increase in numbers.

Then I found Diane Oliver and through multiple conversations , determined that perhaps these kittens were meant to bless me with their presence. 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:     . . .
