Saving lives is what Pilots N Paws is about. This flight was for 3 moms, 37 kittens and one adult for a total of 41 felines on board my Cessna 170. They were getting their freedom flight out of the high kill SPCA shelter in Fresno to the wonderful rescue Whiskers, Tails and Feral’s in Napa. The kittens were bottle babies up to 8 weeks so slow climbs and descents were required as well as maintaining a lower altitude which is perfect for the 170. Such a great reason to fly!
