Caution
I love what these groups are trying to do, but this isn't a stamp of approval for each group in the list. Animal rescue is not easy, and often underfunded. Let's do what we can together to help the cats. |
Avertissement
J'aime ce que ces groupes tentent de faire, mais ceci n'est pas un sceau d'approbation pour chaque groupe dans la liste. Sauvetage des animaux est difficile et souvent sous-financés. Rejoignez-nous à ce que nous pouvons faire ensemble pour aider les chats. |
