Nonno

We received a request to take in an “old, skinny, dirty and sick” stray who was missing an ear and also had bad teeth and a persistent skin condition. His rescuers named him Nonno, which, we are told, means grandpa in Italian. They were able to address his mouth issues, but his skin problems are...

We were contacted by a couple who found a 6-7 month old kitten outside their apartment building who appeared to be sick.

We rescued Chester from a shelter where he was scheduled to be euthanized the next day. He had been brought in by an animal control officer who found him “sunning himself” in the middle of a road. Chester appeared to be a senior cat.  He was unsteady on his feet, his hind legs were not...
