Each person and animal that we help have their own unique story
One of our volunteers, Sarah* fostered a cat for a little over a month. Charlie* is a very gentle cat, but very timid and just wanted to spend all day hiding. Except when eating. Charlie has a very healthy appetite for such a lazy lifestyle. Charlie is overweight, but I have to say he deserves it after all he’s been through. Sarah especially enjoyed working with Charlie to slowly gain his trust and help him become less fearful of life. When it was time to reunite Charlie with his person, I popped him into the pet carrier. He was immediately stressed and peed on me. Sarah and I were chatting about how Charlie had been doing so well with her and she should have put him in the carrier. This would have helped to lessen Charlie’s stress. This just helped to remind us that each animal, each story, each situation is so different from the next. We all learn from them and use what we learn to help the next person and the next animal.
This is a thank you card from Charlie’s person. You are so welcome. We got to have Charlie in our life for a short time and give you peace of mind.
