Free Kittens Aren’t Always Free
We are seeing lots of “free” kittens and want to remind you of the heartbreak that can come from taking home a kitten that isn’t fully vetted. FIV, FELV, giardia, ringworm, parasite infestation, or other unexpected illnesses can take a cute, tiny kitten from free to EXPENSIVE – or worse – really fast.

Monday July 27th,
so we can install new flooring.
