Hiring Bravo and Balynda Brown was the smartest choice!!
Hiring Bravo and Balynda Brown was the smartest choice I made when my cat, Napoleon, went missing! Bravo immediately established the areas where Napoleon had been traveling. It excluded the woods and the marsh across the street which had been my biggest fears. With this information, Balynda helped identify a suitable food station where I… Read more “Hiring Bravo and Balynda Brown was the smartest choice!!”

The Adventures of Pi and Loki
I rescued these brothers in October of 2016. Both these cats are Curious/ Clowns, however Pi is a little more shy and reserved. They both settled in to farm life beautifully.
