Forever Loved: Chester
Beauty does not belong just to the bronzed and shimmering. Beauty is not the perfect nose, or the cheek uncreased by smile lines. Beauty is as beauty does. Chester did “beautiful” with every follicle.
Forever Loved: Amigo
Spend time with cats, and you will believe in more than you ever believed before. You will believe in a friendship bigger than family, and a family big enough for all of us. You will believe in the power of a “plain brown tabby.” You will believe there are no coincidences.
