Pet of the Week
Oreo is a female Tuxedo cat who is about 10 years old. She is very affectionate and loving. Oreo's main interest at the cattery is enjoying her favorite spot in the sun. If you are interested in adopting Oreo, please click on the link below.
B.B. is a female Blue Tick Hound who is around 6 years old. This sweet girl is full of perseverance, hope and love. She plays like a young pup but can also be a giant sponge, soaking up love and attention. If you are interested in adopting B.B., please click on the link below.
Donations are greatly appreciated and can be dropped off at the show.
Our wish list includes dry dog food, dry cat food and cat litter. We
will have some adorable pups available for adoption so come on out and
