I rescued my boy Ziggy in 2017. He was 2 years old at the time, and he recently turned 11.

Tan dog lies tucked under blankets on a bed, resting its head on the bedding and looking ahead.

A friend had moved here from Florida and had to leave Ziggy behind. She asked if I could take him because there was suspicion that he was being abused where he was staying in Florida.

I told her absolutely. They went to retrieve him and brought him to me.

Ziggy has stayed with me ever since, and this is where he will remain until the day he crosses the Rainbow Bridge.

Click to Help James

James and his blind brother, William, were found abandoned on the street when they were just four weeks old. James was born with one blind eye that started to cause him discomfort. Over time, that eye became increasingly painful and irritated. James is the seeing-eye cat for his brother, making his condition even more urgent to treat.
