I wonder if …
I found two cats today at the bus shelter while waiting for my bus. They were mewing like mad and shivering as they obviously aren’t outdoor cats. So I put them in my pockets and carried them home. Thing is that I can’t keep ’em due to allergies. Does anyone know someone that would like …
