Meet Mama.

This is Mama’s own page — one of the community cats of the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, with a photo, a story, and the spot where this cat is usually seen. Every cat here is looked after through Trap-Neuter-Return or found a home through adoption. When you’re done, the button at the end takes you to all of them.
