have it on sale for this special occasion!) and they will donate a
17 pound bag themselves! You don’t have to be one of their clients to participate (but you might want to consider becoming one! Is YOUR vet this compassionate about a rescue???). Please stop by the CONFEDERATE RIDGE ANIMAL HOSPITAL between now and December 24, and help feed the cats at Rikki’s Refuge!
