    Another wonderful Happy Homes! 🐱

    Kikyo now Oliver:
    "I adopted Oliver 6/23. He is the sweetest boy ever! He loves to play fetch with me, play with his brother Snoop doggy dog, beg me for kitty treats and cuddle with me on my chest. He always has to be the center of attention, if I am watching tv instead of paying attention to him he will disconnect the internet. (Yes, he has taught himself how to do that) 🤣
    Thank you AWS for making it possible for Snoop and I to enrich our lives with our bestest, beloved Ollie 💕"

    Mice may not commonly be thought of as pets, but they make great ones! They offer an easy pet care experience and could be the perfect addition to your family. We currently have mice waiting to find their new homes!
