Denver has had a rough start in his short kitten life. He started out on the streets and ended up at the county shelter with his brother. Both were lucky to be adopted a few months ago. Unfortunately for Denver, the senior resident cat was not up for rough housing with a kitten. We don’t understand why, but the family that adopted him thought that declawing him would solve the rough housing problem. Well, it didn’t, and now Denver is not only homeless again but he also had to go through the pain of being robbed of his claws.
This sweet couple saw his story on our Facebook page and knew that they had to give Denver his second chance. Thank you for adopting!

Thelma has a family now! Her new name is Izzy and here’s a picture of her hanging out with her new furry sibling and chillaxing in her very own plush bed. Her family reports “it’s like she’s always lived here!”. That’s music to our ears. Best wishes Izzy and family!
In February 2015 we rescued Bissou and other dogs from a yard where they were chained to the ground. None were “fixed” so of course Bissou had just given birth to 8 potluck puppies when we came on the scene (each looked like one of the males in the yard – different breeds!) Bissou was…
