Hope for Hope

Meet Hope in”person” at the Twin Cities Pet Expo-March 6 & 7 at the Minneapolis Convention Center!

Hope was found sitting in a snowbank in mid-January. The nice folks who found her saved her life by bringing her into their house; the next day they brought her to us.

We Have Kittens

You  may not realize it, but kittens are a seasonal ” item”. There are far fewer of them available during the winter months because female cats don’t go into heat until the days start getting longer.

Marina

Like all of our available animals, our kittens are already spayed or neutered, and are current on all core vaccinations for their age.

You’ve waited patiently throught the winter and now the wait is over-come see our kittens!
