Jake the winter cat

There was once a big tom cat with long hair. He was Orange and white. He came to us with ice on his fur. Cold and shivering. We invited him in because he had no home.

We had seen him all summer but could not get near him. Until that cold day. We open our front door and He walked right in. And from that day on he lived with us.

We got him neutered. He never tried to go outside again he had found his home. He stayed there until the day he passed away. Now he rest in peace at the pet cemetery. Along with all our pets that we have had. It has been well over five years ago that he has been gone but never forgotten. Not one of our pet could ever be forgotten.

So if you see an animal in need reach out to them. You never know what could happen. My family has owned over a two dozen animals. They have all been rescued pets. Not one of our pets have had baby's. They come in to my family's homes and we get them fixed. There are so many animals out there who needs someone to care.

It is really hard on the animals at this time of year.
