"The greatness of a nation and it's moral progress can be judged by the way it's animals are treated"
- Ghandi
We have always been animal lovers. But we've really become avid animal lovers after taming and adopting 11 feral cats from behind the cafe over the years. They have brought us a lot of joy and entertainment and have taught us a lot about respecting the lives of all of God's creatures. We even travel with our cats in our RV in the winter and they are a blast!
No animal deserves to be mistreated or euthanized simply because they're unwanted.
There are many great dedicated charities out there trying to make a difference when it comes to helping animals in need. They need our help. These are some of our favourite animal charities and others!
