Jasper has just gone to a loving home ❤️
We have still yet to find a good home for this handsome 7 month old boy named Jasper.
He is very talkative, loves bell toys, loves to sunbathe in windows!
He’s an indoor cat and enjoys the company of other animals... especially big dogs. He has grown up around two doggies his whole life.
Please message us if you are interested! ❤️

My daughter Elizabeth (aka Libby) has wanted to help rescue animals for several years now (mind you she is only 12)... so forced to homeschool during this pandemic seemed like the perfect time for her to develop her business plan!
With the assistance of a group of friends and parents (children in variety of age)... Libby has developed a SHORT term and LONG term Goal for this group!
These children come from a variety of schools in SECT, and have an incredible wide variety of skills to devote to this group as a whole.

Our first mission with be to raise awareness about the animals in need at local shelters. Due to this Pandemic shelters are no long accepting donations from public due to the safety of animal care workers. At the end of this pandemic there will be a dire need for supplies to care for the animals that are currently in shelters waiting for new homes. The kids will have unique ways of raising funds for the shelters using a variety of their talents in film, theater, video editing, musical talents, visual and physical artistic skills.

Our Long term goal (after pandemic ends) is to help the animals in shelters find their new fur-ever home utilizing many of these same talents!
