We are very active in many communities throughout the country and vociferous advocates for cats/kitties everywhere. We were formed on August 7, 2021 and have already built a solid network with REPUTABLE cat rescues across the country.

This. It is worth the read and gives you some insight into the rescue world.
I returned home at about 3 pm yesterday and by 5 pm I was receiving death threats.
A person contacted me saying that she adopted a kitten from a place and was told by her apartment staff that pets are no longer allowed.
She contacted the place where she adopted the kitty, they refused to take him back at that time.
She called me, told me the story, and told me that she was about to "Throw the kitten on the street." I pleaded with her not to, and although we weren't intaking, my heart told me that I had to.
I gave her our address and she was there within a half an hour and the exchange went well.
I contacted the place that she adopted from and asked them what the hell type of vetting they do. It's not a THOROUGH vetting. I informed the manager of what happened and she said that what I was told wasn't true. She had all the paperwork there, so she could see the name/number of the adopter.
An hour later I received a call from the person who was going to throw the cat on the street, she was screaming at me to the top of her lungs. She said that someone posted her name and number on social media and blamed me. I told her that I didn't do it and had no knowledge of who did.
She continued to blame me, and then said, "I know where you live, I'm going to come over to take care of you."
Needless to say, I told her she better get right with Jesus before she steps a foot on our property.
WHAT THE HELL HAVE WE BECOME AS A SOCIETY?????? WE'RE A KITTEN RESCUE AND ARE THREATENED WITH VIOLENCE!!!!!
🩶🐾🙏🏻🐈😞
If you choose to rescue animals, I am going to give you some sound advice - Grow thick skin and don't care what people think of you. I have known people to lose the battle with their minds and we just lost a kind, caring individual in my rescue network. Compassion fatigue is real, but nothing is worth your life. No pet. No rescue. No person's opinion. Nothing.
In rescue, that person that tells you what an angel you are and how wonderful you are every time you pick up a stray pet thrown at their door will also be the first person who tells people how your organization is worthless when you don't have space to pick up the 30th pet thrown off on their property. It's ok.
In rescue, the adopter that leaves you the five star review about how wonderful everyone has been will change that review quick when they return the pet even though you have spent hours trying to keep it in their home. One star reviews are ok.
In rescue, your friend will be your friend until you deny their application for a pet because they are a great friend but a terrible pet owner. That's ok too.
In rescue, you will answer 143 calls in a day (yesterday to be exact). But if you miss 6 calls in a row while you are in the shower, you will be the one who "never answers their phone". It's ok.
In rescue, other rescuers and random trolls will judge everything you do but never have time to pitch in a hand to help when they see something needing more attention. They will, however, have lots of time to talk about how they’d do it better while they harass and judge you. It will be ok.
In rescue, you will have to involve animal control and the police department sometimes. The people who you take pets from will hate you - and I mean REALLY hate you. Trust me, it's ok.
In rescue, pets will be put down and pets will die at the hands of abusers. We can't save them all - and that's ok. We save the ones that we can and pray for peace for the ones we can't.
I have been in the animal rescue world since 2009. I have dealt with every problem and every situation imaginable. I used to take some things to heart, then I realized - I am doing this for the animals, not for any person in this world. I have found my joy and no person will take that. If you are in rescue, don't let anyone or anything take your joy. Find peace that you will never please everyone. Find peace that you will never save them all. Never allow something you love to turn into something that ends your life.

After a 14.5 hour drive on Friday, and a 17 hour drive yesterday, I'm on the final drive of this trip. Today's only a 6 hour drive, thank goodness.
We had an amazing night sleep at Comfort Inn last night! The beds were so comfy! It was just what I needed!
I'll announce what this business trip was all about tomorrow. Thank God for Marvin for taking care of EVERYTHING the past two days! 🥰🐾🙏🏻🐈

I realize this is a kitten rescue, but my goodness. 37 likes/loves and ONLY 8 comments for HEROES?????? Geez. 😞
2,501 Americans died on this day, 80 years ago.
The Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy that day.
They were told that 80% of them would die. I have to believe they were afraid, but NEVER backed down. Never RELENTED.
That's the epitome of a hero. May we never forget them.
My heart is with all those who lost loved ones. ❤️🤍💙🙏🏻

As I sit here, at the bank, unable to start our "new" car because the fob evidently needs a new battery, stressed because I have so much to do, I began thinking about my promise.
Almost TWO MONTHS ago, I posted our KKR tote bundles, as a way to raise funds for KKR for my birthday. Those who purchased them haven't even received them. I NEVER sent them out.
I could make excuse after excuse, God knows we've endured much, but I won't.
I failed you and I'm so sorry. I'm offering you refunds, and will still send the totes to you next week.
For those of you who paid $100 for the tote bundles, please reach out to me so I can refund you. Mailing them out to you is on my calendar for Tuesday, next week.
I leave Friday for a business trip, and I'm swamped until then. I hope that you'll accept my deepest apology and will forgive me.

Good evening, KKR Aunties and Uncles! I'm back home with three sanctuary cats, two need immediate spays, and four kittens that need a little socializing.
I took SIX of our kittens down to our rescue sister to get into adoptions down there! I can't wait for them to find their happily-ever-after homes!
I received a message about this baby while on the road. She was out in this world all on her own, and a wonderful lady, by the name of Kelcey, found her! Actually, her dog found her!
Possible URI, blind, possibly needs eye enucleation... I'm picking her up tomorrow morning and immediately seeking emergency assistance. She's tiny, but eating well, and has energy!
If you have anything extra, I'd greatly help for this little girl!💖🐈🙏🏻🐾

Are you in Northern Virginia?
Do you have room in your heart and home to foster these babies and bottle feed them?
If so, get in touch with my dear friend, Chloe, at Little Buddies and sign up to be a foster. Little kittens like these will suffer and die on the streets without fosters.
Please consider fostering, you'll love it! 💖🙏🏻🐾🐈

URGENT URGENT SITUATION IN NYC!!!! Little Wanderers NYC needs help for this dire situation. If you reside in the area and can foster, please reach out to them.

If you're in the Tampa Bay area and are looking to add a cat, kitten or dog to your family, please visit Humane Society of Tampa Bay!
I've been following them for years and am such a fan! They do DOUBLE the work of our inhumane society in Jacksonville AND their amazing CEO makes less than $160k a year, some $80k less than the one here.
Share share share! The babies need our help! 🐈🐾🙏🏻💖🐕
❗️❗️ OUR REALITY ❗️❗️ HSTB has over 800 animals in our care RIGHT NOW, between in the shelter and in foster care. Adoptions are down, but strays and owner surrenders are up. Kitten season is in FULL swing and accounts for over 600 of the animals being cared for. This is our reality. If you are thinking about adding a new family member, check our website. If you are thinking about volunteering, let's get you signed up. If you are thinking about fostering, now is the time!

This just broke my heart. If only the animals could speak, this is what they'd say.
We're supposed to be a "civilized" society. I beg to differ. 😞💖🐈🐾🙏🏻
FORGIVE ME, MOMMY 😢🐾…
I was there where you left me for two whole days. Sleeping right on the side of the road. I was terrified of the noise from the cars but I did not move.
Last night one of those cars stopped and she got out. She invited me to lunch but I said no. She invited me to come sleep at her house and I also said no. I tried to explain to her that I was waiting for you but she wouldn’t listen. She pulled out a leash and said I couldn’t stay there any longer. I bit her several times and ended up peeing on myself as I growled and cried! She didn’t understand that she was separating me from you! She took me against my will and we drove off! I was so sad because I knew you were going to be worried. We ended up at her house.
I kept screaming hoping you would hear me but you never came. I vomited because of my nerves, feeling so sick. I kept telling her I had to go back because you were going to think I abandoned you when you saw I wasn’t there! I, who love you with all my heart and soul have not stopped crying since we separated a few days ago. I want you to know, I would never do that to you.
I don’t know where you are now or why you stopped the car and left me there. Surely you had something very important to do. Can you come find me now, mommy?
Today I ate because my tummy was hurting. I also slept on a very soft bed. And by accident I also wiggled my tail a bit. I’m so sorry, please forgive me. She’s just being really nice to me. She said I could stay forever. She’s calling me Savannah, but I already have a name. When you pick me up you can tell it to her. You’ll see how surprised she’ll be when you explain to her that this was a big mistake.
Because mommy, you’re coming back for me, right 😢?

After 24 hours of backlash (negative comments, canceling auto payments...) upon rereleasing the two cats where their "owner" dumped them, I have decided to take some much needed and deserved time off of social media.
I'm going to take Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off of all social media and enjoy our kitties, as well as our son, who will be leaving to S. Korea in a little over a month for a year. I'm going to take in every moment I can with him.
For those who defended me, you're my squad, my ride or die, my heart, and I love you all.
For those who speak so ill of me without having a clue, call me. 702-927-6402 If you feel so bad about me having to release those babies, call me so I can make arrangements to get them to you. I'd LOVE for them to have a home.
I wanted to leave you with a smile. This is one of our sanctuary girls, Amber, b/c of her stunning eyes. She was helping her papa and the sun hit her eyes just right that I had to record her. 💛
Goodnight. 💖🙏🐾😞🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

It's that time of year again for 501(c)(3)'s! Tax time!!!!! I never understand the numbers, but I'll try to explain it the best I can!
$51,381- Donations from our AMAZING KKR aunties and uncles!!!!! Thank you!
$15,000- Airbnb revenue in just our first year! Every single penny earned from our luxury AIRBNB goes directly towards saving cats and kitties around the world!
$5,000- from our wonderful Harvest Hosts guests! They pay $30 a night to park on our property! And many are very generous and give more to support the kitties!
These total: $71,381
Our expenses for 2023 were $163,160. For a difference of about $102,000, which Marvin and I paid.
We are a TRUE not-for-profit. EVERY SINGLE PENNY GOES DIRECTLY TOWARDS SAVING CATS AND KITTIES ALL OVER THE WORLD.
As President, I don't receive a salary of any kind, especially not a $240,000+ salary.
We don't receive one penny for our over 100 hour work weeks.
We don't spend money on mailers.
We don't spend money on commercials.(which is why sharing our posts is important)
In fact, when we began our rescue, I set out to be as self-funded as possible. I NEVER wanted our ability to save to be contingent on your ability to give! Many of us are struggling.
Marvin and I work at least 16 hours a day, every single day. How many hours do CEO's at ASPCA, The Humane Society of the United States work? How much are their salaries?
My friends, it's time to change the way we give. Before giving your hard-earned money to line the pockets of CEO's, I'm asking you to support your SMALL, LOCAL rescues. We are the backbone of rescue. We do the most, with the least, oft times using our own money. With no pay. With no advertisement. With no time off.
For our amazing followers, who've become dear friends and family. Marvin and I have no money left to carry the financial burden. Either we will have to cut back on intake indefinitely and just focus on our sanctuary OR every single one of you can sign up for just $5, $10, $20... auto payments every month! We also need you to like, love, comment, and share every single post; that is our only form of ADVERTISEMENT and is so important.
I give you my word, no matter how BIG we become, I will NEVER take one penny for myself. I couldn't imagine ever taking money from all the kitties who are suffering.
Much love and gratitude,

Goooood Tuesday morning, KKR aunties and uncles! I have another fan! Lol.
I guess my posts about The Jacksonville Humane Society hit a nerve with a worker or volunteer with them. I hope they see this and condemn this type of rhetoric.
These comments from trolls with fake accounts will NEVER silence me from speaking out!
As for leaving Jacksonville, we ain't going nowhere, Bom.
PS: Breaking news: I'm fat!!!!! And if that's the worst thing I can be, I'm okay with that! The kitties don't mind, it's more foster mama to love. 💖🐾🙏🐈
Y'all have a blessed day! Thank you for loving me, just as I am. I love you too! 💖

I reached out to the WONDERFUL human who left these notes on the trap and took one of the cats inside to ensure that he was OK. We had an amazing conversation and she's going to ensure the rest are neutered and that they'll be fed!!! I'm so happy!
Now that I don't have to deal with that situation anymore, I was finally able to tell the reckless, irresponsible, ignorant... person exactly how I feel about her and what she did to these SIX boys!!!!
She, as well as The Jacksonville Humane Society 's unwillingness to intake them (when they had 36 kennels available) have sentenced these domestic cats to a HARSH life and premature death outdoors.
I sent the texts below to her and blocked her after I sent them. I'll not be available to clean up the mess once ANOTHER litter is born.
Unlike other rescues, I'll ALWAYS tell it the way it is. Neither the kitties nor YOU expect me to sugar coat things. The kitties need ALL of us to be their voice and tell the TRUTH, no matter the cost.
Again, I'm not for everyone, but I'm for the kitties. Always. 💖🙏🐾🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

And I wonder why I can't get a thing done! I'm finally getting the mailing addresses for the totes written down. These monkeys don't understand that foster mama is over TWO MONTHS late in sending these out. They just want ALL the love, always. 🥰🥰🥰🙏🏻🐾🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
Nuit is settling in nicely! He's already calming down, eating well, and no longer making a big mess! I'm so excited about his future! He's a gorgeous boy! 🖤💛🐈⬛🐾🙏🏻 #kkr #cat #kitten #rescue #sanctuary #florida

Although I just wanted to sit at home and mourn the loss of my Rockasocka, I couldn't. I had to go pick up another cat that was trapped at some time Saturday night. It is a 45-minute drive each way, and this is my FOURTH time driving it in as many days. I arrived to empty traps and found this note. Although I'm grateful for this person taking the kitty in, I didn't just leave the kitty in there. The woman who's responsible for all of this effing mess said that she and her friend, who resides here, were ensuring that he had food and water. FCNMHP doesn't do TNR on Sundays, and I had forgotten about that, or else I wouldn't have put traps out Saturday! Once I realized my MISTAKE, I couldn't let him loose for fear that I couldn't retrap him, so I made his "owner" aware. I know this person meant well, but damn, I don't need this scolding! Save it for the people who TRULY created this mess, the IRRESPONSIBLE "owner" and Jacksonville Humane Society for not assisting her when she was evicted and had to dump her SIX unneutered, domestic cats outside to fend for themselves and impregnate countless cats!!!!!! I'm going to talk to this person who left this note at noon. I'll explain the situation and hand all of this mess over to her since she resides here. No more 45-minute drives each way and all of the angst, frustration, gas, stress... Once I talk to her to confirm that she'll care for them all and trap them, then I'll FINALLY be able to tell that person whose RECKLESS decisions and IRRESPONSIBILITY created this heartbreaking situation EXACTLY what I think of her. Then I'll block her. She won't EVER be able to call me again, ESPECIALLY after her PREGNANT female cat gives birth to her FOURTH litter!!!!!!!!! I. Am. Done. I'm going back home now, where I belong. 💔😭🙏🐾🐈🌈🧡
This was Rocky's space! He had the entire upstairs, with the exception of the foster room and master bath! Pearl was sweet enough to share her space! We allowed him downstairs in the evenings when we put our big orange boys in our bedroom downstairs. His favorite spot was on the ottoman, watching cat tv all day. He slept a lot and ate a lot, he loved to eat. He was the King of upstairs. He loved headbutts and cheek massages from papa. I was dreading going upstairs this morning because I knew I wouldn't see his handsome face, and of course, the floodgates opened. I'm still socializing sweet Sadie, as well as the three gray kittens, Janet, Chrissy, and Mrs. Roper, they're the ones in the master bedroom. I want very much to find them homes, but if they can't be fully socialized, they'll become part of the sanctuary family! Marvin and I spent the day yesterday crying and in shock. I still can't believe he ate, then laid down and died. I don't want to do anything today either, but I must. Thank you for all the love. Marvin and I are so grateful. Love you. 🧡🌈🐈🐾🙏💔😭
I received the call this morning that two of the six cats were trapped! We just left First Coast No More Homeless Pets so they can be neutered and vaccinated. For those who continue to suggest contacting the news, I have. NO ONE CARES! An owner being evicted, having to make the heartbreaking decision to abandon her unaltered cats and the ONLY thing The Jacksonville Humane Society did was give her pamphlets is NOT newsworthy. The fact that JHS wouldn't open 6 of their 36 available kennels is not newsworthy. The fact that JHS ok with SIX unneutered males being released to add to the overpopulation crisis and suffering is not newsworthy. The fact that JHS has $35 million in assets, yet we receive calls EVERY SINGLE DAY from people they refuse, and Marvin and I have to carry the additional financial burden, is not newsworthy. The fact that JHS openly states that "Shelters are no place for kittens" and tell everyone to leave kittens outside to fend for themselves, is not newsworthy. If this isn't newsworthy, I don't know what the hell is. I'll not rest until we trap the last four. I didn't sleep last night because it was storming and all I could do was think about these cats, out in the storm, scared, hungry, confused, and alone. My heart hurts for these babies. Like. Love. Comment. Share. Please.🙏🐾🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈💔😭💖 Action News Jax News4jax First Coast News

A morning in our life. I hope they give us 5 stars!!! Thank you to everyone who has given so much food! We're incredibly grateful and blessed!

Good morning! I'll continue to spread the word about @petsense.by.tsc and what their inaction has done to our rescue. Prior to April 30th, we had the BEST partnership with them! They provided beautiful kennels, food, and a space for our babies to run and play all day because we are against cats/kittens in cages. All that changed on April 30th when their Asst Manager tried to conceal the fact that a snake was loose in the store and beraded those of us who were speaking about it. I've since learned that they were aware of his abuse and did NOTHING. This individual is acting in this manner WHILE still on a probationary period as a new hire. If he's acting in this manner, WHILE still on probation, what is he going to do once that probation has ended? This individual's actions ENDED such a great venue for the kitties and has put Marvin and I in such a difficult position. We intook all these kitties because of PetSense! Y'all know I'd never have 17 kittens at one time. That is reckless. But, here we are. Please keep spreading the word. I'm in such disbelief that we were partnered with an organization that doesn't IMMEDIATELY terminate someone who has shown a pattern of VERBAL abuse to females. 😞😡
At times, there are no words...💖🐈🙏🐾
Pearl gurl is by far the most asked about and requested cat! We had just moved to Jacksonville, and I promised Marvin that we wouldn't intake any cats until we were settled in. Then I got a text from our neighbor about Pearl and her two babies and broke that promise! I put Pearl and her babies in the now AirBnB, and she escaped into the attic through the ceiling tiles and remained in the attic for MONTHS! We set traps, I begged, put food and water out for her three times a day, and it was sweltering up there. It was July 2022, and my Han Solo got very sick! We had to leave him in the hospital, and when I returned home, I just wanted to go visit Pearl. I was so upset that I just sat on the floor and sobbed, and when I looked up, there was my Pearl. This once feral girl came down to comfort her mama! It was a moment I'll never forget. I cherish her! Who remembers Pearl? Raise your hand in the comments!🙋♀️✋️🖐👋💖

Meet our latest! Justin, the uncle/manager at @petsense.by.tsc contacted us three days ago saying that his daughter found this little nugget. Of course, we couldn't say "no." He was riddled with fleas, so he's had a bath and has been treated. He's got goopy eyes, so we're applying Terramycin for probable upper respiratory infection. He's also been dewormed and is being syringe really good slurries, packed with supplements from @pethonesty His Uncle Justin named him "Fuego," which translates to "fire." He's tired and has things to overcome, but I believe he will be just fine! Fuego would love for his aunties and uncles to welcome him to our village! 🩶🙏🐾🐈⬛ Share share share!!!!
There's always ONE aggressive eater in every litter! This cutie is always ALL in! He basically puts his whole body over the food! 🙀😹😻 Share share share!
🖤🤍🙏🐾 Share share share Prayers, good vibes, and positive energy are all needed for little moo cow. Thank you. Much love, always. Kristina
We received this beautiful, deaf long--haired tortie girl, Sissy, and her brother Sammy about six months ago now! They've been on our upstairs catio waiting for the weather to get nice so she can get trimmed up and get some matts out, then her and Sammy will transition to our sanctuary! It's just been in the past month that my sweet Sissy gives me a little tap to thank me for her meals. I call it her high-five. She's the most beautiful girl, but her and her brother aren't interested in indoor life at all. They're always together, so I know her brother will take care of her. I can't wait for them to be finally FREE to live their lives on THEIR terms, not mine. They'll probably be transitioned in about a month.💖🧡🐾🙏🐈🐈⬛
Good Wednesday morning, KKR aunties and uncles! Marvin, the kitties, and I are so grateful for all the love, concern, and prayers you've provided. Although the month old kitties were just diagnosed with coccidia three days ago, I was trying desperately, behind the scenes, to get weight on them for over a week. My morning routine for eight kittens: Medicine first, then weigh. I put each one in the shower after medicine and weight so as not to mix them up. The tuxedo cow boy was 13 OUNCES three days ago.This morning, he's OVER ONE POUND!!!!!🎉🙏 Then, meal time. They are eating a LOT now and prefer @royalcaninus kitten, thin slices in gravy! They're eating TEN--TWELVE CANS A DAY!!!!! While they're eating, I throw away all litter/boxes DAILY and replace them with new pans and litter! Then I clean up the mess they make while eating. Once done, they gather on the bed to rest b/c being a kitten is exhausting! 🙀😹😻 Then I went to the main house, fed all the outdoor and indoor babies. Marvin and I got sweet Sadie in her carrier so I could get her to Lofton Creek for her SPAY!!!!! All of this was done by 7:30, and I dropped Sadie girl off at 8:07 a.m. I'm beat, but so excited that they're gaining! I do need your help!!! I can't afford $20 a day just for the kitties food! It's Royal Canin kitten THIN SLICES IN GRAVY! You can order through PetSense, Amazon, Chewy....and send directly to us: Kindred Kitten Rescue 1036 Dunn Ave #4-193 Jacksonville, FL 32218 With all my heart, thank you. I can finally breathe, I think they're going to be ok. Please share share share. 🙏💖🐈⬛🐾
Y'all know I share EVERYTHING about rescue and personal things as well, so we can get to know each other. I received the first message (see photo) earlier in the day yesterday, and even though I'm dealing with lots of illness, I replied. We went back and forth. Finally, at 11 pm. last night, she reached out to me AGAIN! So I called her, and she was finally able to hear me. I asked her who she reached out to down there because I couldn't help the baby. She told me that she had someone coming to pick her up tomorrow (which is today). So I'm thinking to myself, why are you still reaching out to me at 11 pm, if you already have help? I bit my tongue and began asking her about the circumstances in which she found this poor paralyzed baby. Are you ready for this????? SHE DIDN'T SPAY HER GIRL CAT AND SHE HAD A LITTER OF THREE, THIS POOR BABY WAS ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!! Of course, I was like, not only did you not spay your cat, but you allowed her out? She began making excuses, and I wasn't having it. Finally, she said, "I didn't call you for you to GD lecture me", to which I replied, "Someone has to, your RECKLESS, IRRESPONSIBLE decision not to spay her has caused this." It didn't end well. I'm not going to coddle people and tell them it's okay that they're reckless and irresponsible and cause COUNTLESS suffering/deaths. That's not me. I will ALWAYS be the voice of the kitties. And before those select few people chime in and have something negative to say about how I handled this situation, and how it could've been a teachable moment...blah blah blah. I say to you, "You can't fix stupid." If you don't like the truth, don't follow me. I said what I said. I felt the "Jaws" theme was apropos. 🦈
Dearest Aunties and Uncles, we are in CRISIS mode!!!!! These two kittens (from separate litters) are very sick and, as always, we are INCREDIBLY grateful that Dr's Mandy and Dunn at @lcanimalclinicfl were able to squeeze them into their busy schedule! Dr. Mandy has begun coccidia protocol!!!! If left untreated, coccidia KILLS kittens, it is a parasite that reaks HAVOC on their little intestinal system. Essentially, everything they eat comes right out, so their little bodies don't absorb nutrients and much needed calories, and they can't keep weight on. . Dr. Mandy is treating them very aggressively, which makes me happy. She also added Panacur to the protocol, just in case they have worms! I've been staying in the @airbnb with the kittens we got from Waycross, GA, but we're in the process of moving the other litter over as well, for a total of 10 kittens, so we can treat them all in the same place. We have NO choice, but to block the AirBnB for the rest of this month while we fight to save these babies. Marvin and I are exhausted; we've been nonstop for a while now. We're out of groceries, but I'm too tired to even shop. We'll be providing updates as we can, but between syringe feeding every 3-4 hours, cleaning, butt baths (the diarrhea is so severe), cleaning some more, while trying to socialize my four babies, while caring for our own indoor and sanctuary babies...we don't have much time. What do we need? Prayers and shares. Even WITH treatment, I've seen babies pass away from this hideous parasite. I'll do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING I can to save ALL of them. I can't fathom another loss. 😔🙏🐾💖🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛ This. Is. What. I. Was. Made. For. #prayers #share #sharingiscaring #manicmonday #monday
