Today is Giving Tuesday- this year we are sharing the story of Fluffy and Luna. These two cats were featured in our annual appeal letter. Your donations make stories like Fluffy and Luna’s possible.

Fluffy arrived at the ARC already having experienced life on the streets and being in a loving home. Her owner passed unexpectedly and the ARC stepped in to help Fluffy find her second family. Upon arrival she was given the standard items all of our intakes receive; a warm and cozy bed, toys, treats and a medical examination.

After her medical exam Fluffy needed medical intervention for an undiagnosed, life-threatening blood condition. Through the work of the veterinary staff and volunteers, Fluffy received the medical care necessary to restore her health.

Jessica and Chris Friedrichsen were looking to add a furry member to their family. Jessica’s sister recommended adopting a cat from a shelter because they were already chipped/spayed, affordable and found it an incredibly rewarding experience. Upon their first visit to the ARC, Chris fell in love with another cat resident, Luna, while Jessica fell in love with Fluffy. Luna went home with the Friedrichsens that day. Fluffy was still healing from her medical treatment and was not ready to be adopted, but Jessica could not stop thinking about Fluffy and a few days later called the ARC to adopt her. Soon after, Fluffy was medically cleared to be adopted and left to join the Friedrichsen family forever!

On their cat adoption journey, Jessica said, “There were many wonderful cats to choose from at the ARC and I know a lot of them would have fit in with our family. The two cats we adopted both came from people who passed or transitioned to a nursing home. It made us feel really good bringing them home and making them part of a family again. Both cats have brought so much joy to our family!”
