Carly has proven to be a fantastic mama.
She is a 4 year old domestic short hair who
came in with her own kitten and a kitten she

herself, so she brings a unique perspective to
her care and understanding of what Serafina
may experience. Best wishes to Serafina and
Amara for a joyous and cancer-free future!
