🐾Pet Spotlight of the Week🐾
This weeks spotlight is Charlie!
Charlie is Eva’s brown tabby cat with a personality as big as he is. He enjoys getting cuddly with our other pets (it is not reciprocated), making a mad dash through the door when it is freezing out, and knocking over precariously placed objects. We adopted him during covid, and he had very bad anxiety, which had gradually gotten better in the few years since. Charlie is very hydrated and loves to fit into the cat tower that is way too small for him.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from LOTR💚
Hope everyone has a safe and happy day!
