365 Days A Year

Tuesday’s Kitten

This little one came to us Tuesday, after a young, inexperienced feral mother cat (barely more than a kitten herself) hid her inside a barbecue and, frightened by the home’s dogs, disappeared and didn’t return. The baby is now safely in a volunteer foster home, where she will be able to join another litter of […]

Kittens In Need

We’ve reached the busiest part of kitten season, and to put it quite simply, we’re buried in the little four-legged boogers.
