Tuesday, Christmas Day

Merry Christmas to all our volunteers, lurkers, chatters, mods, admins, friends and all supporters. I hope and pray that today is a very blessed day for each and every one of you. 

The cats and I have much to be thankful for. The support given is huge. The friendship that is given is so much appreciated. The friend-families that we have come to know is a real treasure. Knowing that there are so many people that sincerely care about this rescue center makes for a huge soft spot in my heart. Thank you to you all.
