🇺🇸 THE VETERAN WHO STARTED IT ALL & URGENT REQUEST FOR A VETERAN’S CAT 🇺🇸
We know the day is over in a matter of minutes. Another chaotic day of emergencies caused us to lose the day and even though most won’t see this, we couldn’t let it pass without posting.
Our Veterans Program began with Charles, a WWII Navy veteran I met nearly 11 years ago at Kroger — before this rescue existed. He saw my cart stacked with cat food for the stray route and laughed, saying, “You want some cats?”
Charles had a colony that made his porch their home — cats he loved but couldn’t afford to feed on his VA benefits. After his wife passed, he said feeding them gave him a reason to keep getting up every day. 💔 He said not many things made him smile but the cats did.
He never paid for food again.
As a surprise, the Holy Cross High School art class built him three patriotic-themed shelters that he proudly displayed on his porch. During one of my visits while he was sick, he asked me to take care of his cats if anything happened to him so he could go in peace when the time came. The next day his sister called me to let me know he passed.
I named his cats Nimitz, Roosevelt, and Franklin — all after Navy ships — in his honor.
That’s how our Veterans Program was born. ❤️🤍💙

Now meet Big Mike, the handsome senior giving his best grump face.
He came from a Vietnam veteran whose leg was amputated. We fed and cared for his cats daily until he entered a nursing home. Big Mike and his siblings became permanent fosters under the rescue so they could stay together.
Today, Big Mike was seen at Jaax Vet. What we thought would be a smaller bill turned into a $750 bill for him alone — after sedation, fluids, bloodwork, and cultures. We’re waiting on results, but he likely has a kidney infection or kidney disease, is dehydrated, and needs a full dental. 😿
👉🏼Nothing went as expected — our vet total today was $1,500, and our balance is now over $2,000.
We can’t have anyone else seen until it’s down under $1,000.
Thank you to everyone who’s already donated. We hate having to post again but we have cats who need to see the vet this week. We don’t expect people to donate again but ask that you please share — $5 and $10 donations add up and make a big difference. 🐾
This one’s for Charles — and for every veteran whose compassion outlived them. 🇺🇸❤️
