Ark Animal Sanctuary – Week of September 6, 2021

This week, Luther lost his battle with cancer. Luther was a beautiful black cat who was feral. The Ark was his home for nine years. Luther came to us from a feral cat colony here in town. His shelter was an old abandoned school bus and his food source was whatever he could find.

Should you adopt a mini pig?

There is nothing cuter than a teeny weenie mini pig. Well, I haven’t really seen a mini pig, only regular piglets, which are so cute, too.  Would I like to have a little mini pig running around with my dogs? Oh, yes, I would, but if I’m being realistic, I will probably never own one.

One had substantial hair loss, severe dental issues and something called oronasal fistula (he has a hole in his mouth).
