Little Ziggy has been an important part of her family since she was rescued two years ago, but when she was suffering from some eye issues recently, her family needed just a bit of support to help keep Ziggy's peepers healthy and comfortable. Thank you to each of you who supports BirchBark! You made it possible for Ziggy to receive the care she needed.

We have a special message from your pets: They have some holiday requests that they would like to share directly with Santa. Fortunately, this is a meeting that can be arranged easily, because Santa will be holding court at Toro Park Animal Hospital this Saturday (12/7) from 9 am - 1 pm!

Come by with your pet, and for a suggested donation of $25 to BirchBark, your pet will have an opportunity to chat with Santa and you will get a card-worthy photo of the encounter!

Pets of all kinds are welcome! We've seen many dogs, cats, and even some goats visit with Santa at this annual event!

Please RSVP by calling Toro Park Animal Hospital at (831) 484-9744.

We interrupt your Black Friday to share Wiz with you. This beautiful boy was abandoned by his family when they moved away earlier this year, but a kindly neighbor recognized how sweet Wiz was and offered him a home. Wiz's new family observed that his eye appeared painful, and they knew he needed help. Just as Wiz's new family had done for Wiz, our donors and veterinary partner, Toro Park Animal Hospital, extended a lifeline, allowing Wiz to have the surgery he needed to live comfortably.

Delicious scents will undoubtedly be wafting through your house tomorrow, but be careful that all the culinary temptations don't result in an emergency veterinary visit! Thanksgiving is a busy day for veterinarians, who inevitably see cases of pancreatitis, gastrointestinal obstruction, and toxicity due to dietary indiscretion, as well as car hits and other injuries caused by guests inadvertently leaving doors open. Enjoy the day with friends and family (furry included), and be mindful about how to keep those you love healthy and safe!

Last week, Onyx's family reached out to us because Onyx was extremely ill. He was suffering from one of the most common ailments we see among PetAid Financial Assistance recipients - a urinary blockage. Urinary blockages are very common in male cats, and they are not only painful, but also deadly. When he was seen by the vet, Onyx hadn't been able to urinate in two days, and he was systemically ill - unable to stand and barely able to keep his eyes open. He needed surgery, which was beyond grasp for his family, who live paycheck to paycheck. With assistance from BirchBark's supporters and our partner vet, Pacific & Santa Cruz Veterinary Specialists, Onyx was able to receive treatment, and is feeling so much better! We are as grateful as his family is.

As we move into the holiday season we want to acknowledge how hard holiday festivities can be when you are missing a loved one. This is no less true when that loved one is a pet. Pets enhance our holiday celebrations with their warmth, their sense of fun, and their supervision of kitchen activities. Tonight's pet loss grief support sessions are fully booked, but plan ahead for Thanksgiving week and snag a spot in one of our group session openings a week from today.

His name is "Little Boy," but we think he looks downright majestic! This little fellow is hugely important to his family, so when he was struggling with severe dental disease, as little dogs sometimes do, his family missed seeing his happy, healthy smile! Our supporters, our partner vet, and Little Boy's family all worked together to ensure that this handsome guy got the care he needed. Thank you to all who played a role!

Today is World Kindness Day, so we want to take a moment to appreciate not just the importance of kindness, but also what beautiful models of kindness our animal companions are. Pets share their love generously and without discrimination. They forgive readily. And you can just see in their eyes that they are driven by a desire to connect with and understand those with whom they interact. We can all learn from these wonderful, furry beings who share our homes and our hearts.

Every day we receive beautiful testimonials about what people's pets mean to them. This one, from Toast's mom, hit different, and we wanted to share it with you:

"From the moment I laid eyes on him I knew he was meant for me. He healed me in ways I didn't even know was possible. And he's always there to comfort me in hard times. He's so funny and genuine my heart literally beats for him. Every person who has ever met Toast has loved his quirky, unpredictable and beyond sweet personality. Even those who said they 'hate' cats ate their own words after meeting him. He is my best friend and has helped me overcome so many trials in my life. "

Thank you, Toast's mom, for articulating so beautifully the bond that you share with your sweet boy. Your words undoubtedly resonate with so many of us.

And thank you, BirchBark supporters, for helping Toast receive some important diagnostics when he recently had an upset tummy!
