As shown in an earlier blog, Fric is not an “in your face” cat looking to be adopted.  This under the radar  cutie  would make any home a happier place.  So ask about our “hidey-cats when checking out the shelter.                               […]

On the advice of my best friend, Laura, I used the divider, which usually comes with crates, as a shelf.  Now Treasure has over 50% more space so she can take a well-deserved timeout from the kids.
