Everyone was busy and full and Bear was depressed and sad at the clinic. Our hearts broke for her. Thankfully, Bear had a Christmas angel on her side a ..read more

Due to capacity limitations, cats are remaining on the street longer and that means they may need extra work when they finally into care.
