December mid-month NEWS!!
Yay for Kiwi! She has her spay surgery scheduled!
🐖 🤝 Thank you for your generous donations for Kiwi's Spay Surgery!
We were able to schedule Kiwi's spay surgery at the University of Florida Large Animal Hospital for Monday, December 23rd. We will drive her 2 hours north to Gainsville, FL early Monday morning and pick her up on Wednesday or Thursday of that same week. The expected cost is about $1,800. Your donations mean so much - Kiwi is SO SWEET and we are so glad she will be a safe part of Cheyne Ranch.
