Community rallies to save animals

Our wonderful community in Kawartha Lakes came together to give three cats a second chance at life. All three cats needed expensive surgeries, but cost wasn't an issue thanks to donations. "We received enough to pay for the surgeries for all three cats and had some left over for our Honey Fund, which is where we put money to pay for unexpected surgeries."
