Many of our adopters, volunteers, donors and friends send us stories and photos of the animals who give them so much joy. We dedicate this space to all of you whose lives have been changed by animals.

Flo
Hi! Flo (aka Florence Nightingale) here!
I've been living with my humans for about two weeks now. I was a quite nervous at first and hung out in the humans' bathroom for a couple days. But it wasn't long till I was ready to move into the main house, and boy is it fun!
I've got a cat tree, tunnel, and lots of toys and cosy beds. I love to hangout on the bedroom windowsills in the afternoon sun counting the birds and butterflies that pass by.
I'm making sure to give my humans lots of cuddles and I love to sit on top of them when they sleep at night. I'm feeling pretty comfortable with my humans now and it helps that they give me tasty treats. My humans think its funny that I don't know how to meow, but they think my "eek eeks" and big purrs are super cute!
All in all I'm one happy Flo!
My humans and I want to say a HUGE thank you to the kind person that rescued me under the hospital, and all the wonderful folks who looked after me at my foster home and at the Wellington SPCA until I was ready to find my furever home.
