1/ Menopause is universal, yet misunderstood and stigmatized. For decades, women were told Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) was dangerous, full stop. But that's not the full picture. So letโ€™s take a look at what the evidence actually shows and why the old warnings didn't tell the whole story.

It's Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet week! We only adopt cats that are "less adoptable" due to FIV and I've known countless amazing cats at the shelter that were overlooked for too long due to age, medical issues, or behavioral challenges. Please consider the "less adoptables" if you can!
