and privately rescued about 500 mostly kittens...
some lambs, kids, fawns, puppies. But then the AHS got squirrelly, limiting my numbers, cancelling appts. So, that was the end of rescue! Shortly thereafter, I got leukemia and pernicious anemia; the latter will knock the stuffing out of you!!! Rescue gives one such a sense of purpose!!! It's wonderful! I'm glad I got to help the helpless before running out of steam!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!
