Friendly staff and volunteers. So many cats and dogs ready to be adopted and go to their forever home. Trust me, you'll fall in love with every pet and want to take them all.

A few years ago, I went to a seminar at Pawmetto Lifeline for those dealing with the loss of an animal. It was very well done and quite helpful. Not sure if they are still doing it, but it may be worth contacting them directly. Thinking of you.

You can try Palmetto Lifeline. I know they do some rescuing but they might can direct you somewhere. I'd call animal control. That's just awful and animal abuse for sure.

Shirley Ray | Sep 19, 2021
Hannah Shannon | Sep 19, 2021

Pawmetto Lifeline is a shelter that does accept strays and relinquished pets, but they do have a limit. I would recommend giving them a phone call or stopping by to get information on their spot availability or other shelters available for drop off. Otherwise, I would advertise kittens available online. Many people are looking for a free adoption alternative, as adoption fees can range from $100-200 per cat/kitten

I would be willing to bet your 🐱 got stung by a bee or an 🐜. I had a 🐕 that got stung by a 🐝 and his hair fell out too. Keep cleaning it. It should heal after a week so. But palmetto lifeline offers a walk in clinic to where your 😺 can be seen.
