Cliff is a 2-month-old domestic short-hair kitten. He was found in an abandoned apartment where his mom had safely hidden him in a wall. Luckily, he survived and found his way to Atlanta Pet Rescue, where he has been living in a loving foster home. A playful kitten, this little guy promises to be hours of fun in his new home. Cliff has continued to impress us with his new-found willingness to trust. He now loves to be petted; he really just loves to have the company of his human friends.

To sign up for the walk or more information on how to donate, visit www.briarcliffanimalfoundation.org. Here’s one extraordinary way Briarcliff Animal Foundation (BAF) is helping pets. Q100 radio personality Jenn Hobby and her boyfriend were on their way to the mountains when they hit a stray dog. They took the dog to a vet in Blairsville with a broken hip and leg. The Atlanta Humane Society contacted Briarcliff Animal Clinic’s Dr. Peter Mueller and BAF’s Geri Swanson, who are both pilots. They flew a private plane to Blairsville and brought the dog back to Atlanta for treatment. BAF paid for all surgery, and Hobby adopted the dog, naming her Carolina for the North Carolina mountains she came from.
