Our staff and volunteers work tirelessly—from coordinating lifesaving pet transfers to post adoption check-ins—to provide compassion, care and resources to every pet and person we serve.   We are so thankful to supporters like you who power this work — giving the lasting gift of love and companionship to families and their pets. And we are grateful for the pets we serve, who bring so much joy to their families.   We’re so pleased to share a heartwarming adoption update we recently received with you, our Rescue Squad, about a kitty named Pluto and a little boy that really needed him: I wanted to take a minute and update you on how Pluto is doing and, more importantly, thank you for the gift you gave our family. We brought our boys with us to Seattle Humane to meet some kittens. Our oldest son was bullied very badly at his school the previous school year and though he was in counseling, he still was struggling with feeling value. One way we teach our kids to deal with the negativity in this world is to give back. He had been volunteering, which helped his self-appreciation, but those were all short-term assignments and did not bring comfort when left alone with his thoughts. With the overflow of kittens we were hearing about from all over the country, we felt adopting one kitten might help. Truthfully, we went to Seattle Humane thinking we were doing a good deed that would provide some fun distraction in our family. We had no idea how much one little kitty could give back to our family. We call Pluto our therapy cat. He cuddles with my son, greets him when he comes home and sleeps with him at night. Pluto has been a gift. The purring, gentle snuggles he offers when my son is feeling bad seem to quickly calm his anxiety and caring for him gives purpose beyond himself to pull him from those moments. Thank you for all you do in providing a gift to so many homes. We can never say thank you enough for our sweet kitty. Thank you, Pluto, for being this little boy’s light in his dark moments and to you, our supporters, for saving the lives of pets like Pluto and giving them families to love. We will be sharing more sweet stories like this all day long during a special Giving Tuesday campaign on November 29.
