🐱 Meet Tiger Lily! 🐾
Did you get a chance to meet Tiger Lily at our Open House? She’s being fostered through Billy the Kidden Rescue after being brought to us as a stray. Her microchip info was outdated and her owners couldn't be found. 😿
This is a great reminder to keep your pet’s microchip info up to date—it’s one of the best ways to make sure your pet can find its way back to you!
Tiger Lily is now searching for her forever family! She’s great with other cats, dogs, and children—and as you can see from the photos, she’s a world-class snuggler. 💕
Please help her find the loving home she deserves! 🏡
