We’re busy working on our Annual Report and our taxes for 2025!
The Retreat’s vet expenses for this year have been $43,929.16! We alway need help with these costs. Donations to Vincent’s First Aid Kit go only for vet expenses.
With the over $900 bill for Garfield’s dental work, the VFAK fund is at ZERO. Please help us rebuilt the fund which only goes for vet bills.
We are focusing on building up Vincent’s First Aid Kit to pay for vet costs. This fund also helps pay for vet bills of kitties going to foster homes.
Many thanks to Ruth P-H for her wonderful donation of items from our Amazon Wish List. Thanks a Bunch!

Good News about Stella

Last week I mentioned that Stella was a very sick kitty who everyone thought had one or two types of cancer. She didn’t have a very good prognosis.
