Hello friends, i am new in ½ûÂþÌìÌà and i am from South Africa, but presently lives in Muscat. I have two male and female white ragdoll kittens that i brought with me to Oman and while here my job does not permit me to take very good care of them. ...
Be careful with this. What follows is the email from a scammer on this actual site, from one week ago replying to me. These are disgusting people who deserve nothing more than harsh punishment for preying on the good nature of kind pet owners ... Read More
