Thank you, Rock and Rawhide!

We love Rock & Rawhide! If you don't know them, they are a nonprofit organization that provides food, toys, and supplies for animals in shelters and in the care of rescue groups. These are just some of the wonderful donations that they have given to Infinite Hope recently for our foster kitties. Thank you, Rock & Rawhide!

Doug is getting the care he needs

Doug got some good news from the specialists at Animal Medical Center (AMC) yesterday. The cardiologist said that Doug has a very rare condition that is causing his heart murmur, but he believes that it is treatable with surgery. Doug needs to wait until he's a bit bigger for that procedure, but thanks to AMC To The Rescue funds, most of his vet care will be covered!
