Forever Loved: Pisa
There are cats we wrap in hugs and cats we adorn with kisses. But when it came to Pisa, we only asked one thing. “Darling, come in from the cold.”
Annette profit
The wheel of fortune had spun many times since Annette last felt like gold. In a crowded shelter, an old cat learns she is not the new convertible with a big red bow. People do not jump up and down at the sight of her face. She is the faithful hatchback with high mileage and […]
The je ne sais quoi of François
