What a great report. Thanks especially for your adoption process. We have a great cat now. It was so helpful to be able to talk with foster "parents" so we could match our adoptee to our current household.

LCHS is jam packed full of heart. These ladies and gentlemen work overtime every day to help just one more stray, injured, sick or needy critter. Their workdays never really end. I know for a fact these people are all fostering, worrying, and working hard off the clock as well as on to make a difference. I just wanted to say thank you to them. Thank you from us humans, but mostly from the emaciated kitten who nobody wanted, the pitbull who never wanted to fight, the greyhound that only needed a treat, a sweet word and a couch... We all appreciate the daily things you do <3
