Please consider a contribution to Best Friends Animal Society.

Background

Sandy loved animals. We had cats throughout our marriage. All of our cats were either rescues or heard through their network about a lady who would make a safe home for them. So, I hope you will consider donating to Best Friends because our cats have certainly been our best friends for years. Your donation will help a dog or cat find a safe home.
