"I can't thank you enough for helping me care for my cats in need of immediate medical attention. I'm sorry to be such a burden, but I've fallen on hard times and there was no one to help me." - Name withheld

"I could never thank you all enough for saving Caress, Jewel and Simba. You saved my life as well, because I couldn't go to the hospital until I knew my babies were taken care of. You were the only place willing to help me. You are angels in a world that rarely reveals such goodness!" - Name withheld
