We were adopted: December 14 – 20, 2020

Christmas came early for our staff this week! We are happy to announce that 73 pets were placed in loving homes including a 2-month-old kitten named Prim. Little Prim was only a month old when she was discovered by a Good Samaritan who brought her to our humane center to receive lifesaving care. She was small for her age, ill with gastrointestinal issues and was diagnosed with a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia—a neurological disorder that affects her coordination and gives her a distinctive wobbly walk but is not progressive. Thanks to the love and diligence of our staff and a dedicated foster, Prim grew healthy and strong and was adopted by a little girl named Rory and her family this past week.
