Featured Kitties!

March is "Adopt a Shy Kitty" Month

annie March 2010 is Adopt A Shy Kitty Month. We have all met them...the ones that squish themselves into the farthest corner or quickly skulk away when you first try to meet them. It doesn't make for a good impression, but first impressions aren't everything. And, in my experience, the shy kitties that take a little more work at the beginning, end up being the most wonderful and rewarding pets. So if you are willing to make a little more effort and give your next kitty a little more time, take a look at these guys. They really are Wonder Cats!
