It’s hard to believe that we traveled by horse, buggy, and stagecoach to get to work, home, family events, business, and celebrations. When we step back in time to around 1860 in Union Springs - we were just becoming a recognized town–still in Macon County then. Sounds easy until you consider that it takes several key events to make a town happen. Folks had to come here from more “civilized/developed” areas to build their futures.

Meet Walter, who has been in foster care for two years and is desperately searching for his forever home! He is the most agile of kitties and can easily jump up on and scale the smallest of surfaces (stair railings, balconies, window sills, and Christmas trees to name a few). Walter is also good at catching things such as bugs, frogs, lizards, and yes, a couple of baby snakes. While Walter has been allowed to venture outside during the days at the farm where he is being fostered, he is the first one to tell you it’s time to come in early in the evening. Why?
