It’s like Mr. Rogers said: “Find the helpers.” But sometimes, the helpers find us!
A couple of weeks ago, we received an email with an unusual request:
“Wanted to see if we can get a discount for a female kitty—making grinding noise when eats.”
Of course, that email sparked plenty of questions: Whose cat is it? How old is she? And most importantly—can we see a picture of this beautiful kitty?
That email introduced us to Rose, a remarkable woman who’s been rescuing cats for as long as she can remember. Rose is one of those incredible people who takes in the broken babes, nurses them back to health, and finds them loving homes. The kitty in question? A senior named Pretty Face, who had spent most of her life outside until recently. Pretty Face even models her sweater like the queen she is!
We immediately agreed to help cover Pretty Face’s dental procedure. But yesterday, she came down with a kitty cold, so her spot went to another one of Rose’s cats: Donnie, a quiet and handsome white-and-gray gentleman. Donnie has two tumors in his mouth, and thanks to your support, he was able to receive the surgery he desperately needed. Rose assures us that Donnie will feel so much better afterward, and we’re anxiously waiting for updates on how he’s doing.
Rose still has more cats in need of care, and we’ve promised her she won’t have to do it alone. Because of YOU—our amazing community—we can be there for animals like Pretty Face, Donnie, and so many others.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being the helpers who make all of this possible. 💕
