Pets of the Week

Greetings everyone! We hope all the dads out there had a good Father’s Day, including all your pet Dads! This week we don’t have a featured kitty as most of our cats and kittens are almost finished with their medicine treatment for upper respiratory illness. Once that is completed, we will be ready to feature them for adoption soon! In the meantime, Have-A-Heart would like to remind everyone that cats can get pregnant at as young as four months old (babies having babies!).
