Rescued as a stray · 6+ yearsSlick
Pet’s Story Slick showed up in our yard over six years ago as a stray. He was covered with dirt and cobwebs and had ticks. He moved into our home and we loved him so much. He loved us, too, and was affectionate and friendly. He was the best cat ever. We’ll miss him more […]

Rescued from the Rbari Shelter · 13 yearsHappy
