All Tree House cats need is love, and we’re thrilled to share that love was abundant at our very first City Kitty Soirée—where we raised nearly $60,000!
A special thank you to Brooke for letting us into her home and heart. She reminded us all of the special bond we share with our feline companions. Watch Brooke and Scamper’s adoption story below.
