Special Thank-You From Family of Animal Lovers

Jean

l would like to say thank-you so very much. People seem to think because I live in the country they can drop cats off to my house. And the problem with that is I’m a animal lover and feed them even though I know that’s how you can’t get rid of them after and I have two children that are like their dad and would feed them anyways if I didn’t. So again I thank you from the bottom of my heart and my children do too.

Thank you so much,
Mike

Kitten Foster-Parent Sends Thanks

Jean,

Hi, my name is Kilie. I am Shauni’s granddaughter and I work at Ward & Van Scoy! I am sending you this to say thank you! I really appreciate you helping me out with my foster kittens! Sammy just got back from his app and my other 3 have on Oct 25th. I am so thankful that they are able to be put through that program! I also want to say thank you for the wet food! My kittens love it and now expect it every morning! They scream until they get it! =) I have always loved fostering kittens and I usually keep them when they get big but you helping in such a huge way makes it so much easier! You have a huge heart!

Thanks again!

Dear Jean,

I just wanted to thank you for your generous donation of cat food. We own a farm and through the years people have dropped off their unwanted pets and we care for them. In the last few years we’ve trapped, had them fixed – but more show up. Thank you again – it helps!

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

Hi Jean – Just a quick back story… 2 kittens were abandoned at the end of a dead-end dirt road where I happen to live. I am a “dog person”, even a “horse person”, so had to consult others more knowledgeable than myself. 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 …
