Then this animal loving family lost a very dear kitty Big John to old age. He was a part of their family and he is deeply missed. My heart aches for them. In memory of Big John…they adopted a precious five year old from the shelter that needed much help and as you can see…Rain won the adoption lottery with this family. Thank you for always giving from the heart.
Fly with angels Big John.
