“Please check out Denise Schultz on Rover.com. Denise saved the life of one of the kittens my mother cat delivered by giving it mouth to mouth resuscitation. Denise then started to work with the mother cat to accept the kitten back to into the litter. She had the knowledge to know mothers at that point, reject any litter that they detect something wrong, or if they might die. I have had horses, dogs & cats and Denise is the first person I call for any advice or care! You won’t be disappointed when you call her!!!”
