PRECIOUS IS READY FOR HER FOREVER HOME! Date: February 25, 2008  Many months ago, a kitten named Precious came to The Animal Haven. A few days later, Precious was diagnosed with a serious liver condition that required an expense surgery to save her life. Through the support of many wonderful people, we raised the funds for Precious’ surgery. The surgery was successful and Precious is doing very well.Precious’ long medical journey has come to a successful end. Precious is healthy and ready to be adopted into a special loving home. Precious should now be called Princess because she has been spoiled by the caring staff and volunteers at The Animal Haven. Precious has never been around other pets. It is our recommendation that Precious would do best in a quiet home where she can be doted upon by her new family.Precious might require tests throughout her life, so regular veterinary visits will be needed, as with any pet. Precious has a second chance at life because of the remarkable generosity of caring people. A sincere heart-warming thank you goes out to the community from The Animal Haven and Precious.The Animal Haven takes in adoptable homeless cats and dogs and takes pride in matching them in loving well-matched permanent homes.
