Apparently someone threw a litter there – a few died, one got rescued a few days ago, this one remained....
Dad Spends A Spa Day With His Cat In Viral Video
It doesn’t matter who we are, we all have stress in our lives. We may be able to hide the stress or perhaps deal with it from day to day, but sometimes, we just need to find a way to vent and get away from it all. For many people, this involves taking a special spa today. There is something wonderful about being pampered for an entire day.

Dog Finds His Forever Home After 667 Days At The Shelter
