Our wonderful BCAWS cat rescuer, Lynn, said that these adorable little 6 week old kittens are ready for adoption. Their mom was rescued from outside just in time for her to have her babies inside Lynn’s warm and safe cat nursery. Spicy, and Tippy are little girls. In the picture of three, the first two are little boys, Frosty and Breezy (Tippy is the third kitten). Snowy is also a little boy. If you are interested in meeting them, please contact Lynn Waters for an appointment at [email protected]. 💕

Hey there, my name's Pearl, and I'm a real gem of a dog! Young, playful, and brave, I'm always up for an adventure and ready to take on the world. With good manners, house and leash-trained, I'm the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loyal and loving friend. Now, let's get down to business. I'm a smart cookie, 🍪 and I know it. I've graduated with flying colors from a Board and Train center, and I'm proud to say I know all the essential commands, plus some cool tricks! I'm an independent girl, but I adore my humans and am always eager to please. I'm also a social butterfly 🦋 and get along swimmingly with my canine peers. 🐶 I have been waiting a very long time to find my forever home so please spread the word or come out and meet me yourself.
