They care so much! My cat went missing I pray they picked him up so I can have him safely returned to me! When u get a beloved fur baby from them u can rest assure it’s fixed an comes with all the bells and whistles it’s microchipped witch gives u the pice of mind it they find your pet u will safely get them back! I love everything they do! If I was in a position to donate $ to them I would cause I can’t give them the highest rating they deserve! And I want them to know I appreciate everything they do! This is my beloved emotional support cat bb he got out with his brother kk on the 3rd of July! Kk came back bb didn’t I looked everywhere calling his name meowed gave people my number in case they find him! They also gave me wonderful advice on what to do an said they would keep an eye out too! Yesterday someone said the pound caught a black cat I’m praying it’s him so he can be safely reunited with me! Till I find out I put food an water out for him got his old litter box out and put a shirt out side so he can smell his way home!
