getting pets that they are a commitment for the life of the pet. Period.

I have three Himalayan girls, ages 10 and 11, that came from a trailer with 48 cats, two dogs and three people living in it. A sad state, hoarders just don't seem to get that they cause so much more harm than good.

Beautiful kitties you have there, catrose! So glad they found you!
