This guy ran up to us tonight during a walk. I am going to take him to a shelter tomorrow to see if he has a chip, but wanted to try posting here… (Nextdoor Rovey Farm Estates) - My dogs were going crazy by my shed the other day snd i went to look inside and found a litter of kittens there with the mom.
I called the humane society and they basically said they wouldn't do anything and that the mom would relocate them, the mom has not relocated them… (Nextdoor Michigan and 41st)
