She touched Bones, she talked to me about her new Mastiff. I told her we should get together. Every morning after the dicovery I prayed passing her old apartment that she would be caught and be brought to justice. Finaly she was caught. Thank you God.
And April 2011- I rescued a mom cat and 5 kittens from under a lady's stairwell at the 600 building. This lady who feeds but doesn't have the resources to s/n was telling about Midnight. The foofy black cat she took in from her neighboor, Suzy. This mom cat will be spayed, the kittens into SNAP 2 IT rescue.
