The Lonely Hearts Club


Forgotten Cats Deserve a Second Chance

Week after week they watch visitors come and go, hoping this time someone will notice them. Maybe they greet you as you walk in the front door, or perhaps they watch from behind the door or from a high perch in the next room.

They are the discarded pets and the homeless strays; the forgotten cats in the

"Lonely Hearts Club."
