Unfortunately, not all stories have a happy ending. 😿
Unfortunately, not all stories have a happy ending. Little Bitty’s elderly parents contacted us last week; their 12-year-old kitty wasn’t doing well. Bitty was having trouble breathing, and she started flopping around on the floor, terrifying her parents. Due to the urgency of Bitty’s declining condition, we used funds from the Emergency Fund to get her into a Veterinary hospital ASAP!

Losing a beloved pet is truly heartbreaking.🐾
Most pet parents share an intense love and bond with their animal companions. A pet is not “just a dog,” “just a cat,” or "just an animal," but rather a beloved family member, bringing companionship to our lives.
