I am sending this because on Wednesday May 6,2026 about 8:15 I called 911because I woke up to smoke in my house. I didn't know that would lead to the city and others would start the process of me having to get rid of my fur babies. They called me an animal hoarder and that my house had feces all on the floor.

Their mates, their loved ones, and their friends were all Be leaving nothing meaningful behind but memories.
