Something to Bark About
Once Padme was finished with her job of being a mama to her eight puppies, which were rescued with her from Mississippi, she was ready to find a loving home through our Adoption Center.

My fiance & I rented an apartment with my fiance's friends. When we got there the roommate had obtained a cat saying that its just "HER" cat. But almost immediately, like 1 month later, they started starving and completely ignoring the cat. They haven't fed her for at least 2 months as I write this. My fiance and I have kept this cat alive. Would we be able to "rescue" this cat and take her with us when we move?
Happy Tails
