A Miracle Reunion: The Refreshing Story of Lula the Cat

After seeing a little black tuxedo cat in an apartment parking lot for many months…hungry, thirsty, cold and battered by tenants and their dogs, Lisa Garcia decided it was high time to bring this baby in. She called FixNation to get the kitty in for a spay/neuter appointment and to get doctored up.
