PET OF THE WEEK: Amy and Beth, sisters, are a sweet, curious bonded pair

Posted on May 14, 2026 by dwooten

CHAMPAIGN, IL — We love visits from Donna from Moore’s Rescue Ranch, who brought bonded sisters to the studio today! Amy and Beth had a wonderful, loving home, but their owner had to go into a nursing home. (Their mom’s family didn’t want them, so they were brought to Sangamon County Animal Control. This process happens to animals a lot and it is sad and confusing for them.)

Sweet Amy and Beth are the first ones to greet visitors at The Kitty Crib.

Thank you to our amazing partner, Curtis Road Animal Hospital. We are grateful for their continued support of our spotlight on animal rescue.
