When you look at these pictures, you might think that these two kitties look very similar, and it is because they’re quite literally family! Meet Tulip! She was rescued from a Church parking lot a few months back. When we got her, she was sick with an upper respiratory infection (URI), covered in fleas and full of intestinal parasites. Thankfully we were able to nurse her back to health, and she has since been
