Even as pets, they are living creatures that require constant care, love and affection. Hence, it is only fair that instead of being abandoned in a shelter, they too get their needs met. Now every time you see them, it’ll not only bring a huge smile to your face but also give you the realization of how much of a good deed you have done as a person.<\/p>\n
