Help Keep Families Together - Katy

This year, I am fundraising for Colorado Pet Pantry, because I believe that pets and people deserve to stick together. Will you help me in meeting my goal of $2,500 to continue this critical work?!

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE dogs. I have my mom to thank for instilling in me a deep love of animals, but especially dogs. I have carried that with me into adulthood. When I adopted my Jackson back in 2013, I never would have imagined the trajectory he put me on. He has been my steady companion, being by my side during some of the highest and lowest parts of my life. From moving to Denver, to the sudden loss of my beloved mom in 2016, to navigating career changes... I can't imagine my life without him. His "sister" Abby joined our family in 2016 and made our family complete. These two have been a steady source of unconditional love and laughs; a tail wag and mealtime excitement are guaranteed sources of daily smiles.

In addition, Jackson & Abby have put up with all of my crazy, which has entailed welcoming more than 60 foster dogs into our home since 2018. Being a foster mom has allowed me a front row seat in further witnessing the human-animal connection, even beyond my own personal experience. It has been my great honor to have played a role in so many happy endings and second chances. The idea of these bonds potentially being broken due to financial hardship weighs on my heart... no one should be forced to make the impossible decision to have to give up their family pet. 

WE have the ability to help bridge this gap and keep pets out of the shelter. Colorado Pet Pantry is celebrating 12 years of helping Colorado pets stay with their families, where they belong. They do this through more than 100 monthly statewide pet food pantries!

Because most of the pet food they distribute is donated, they’re able to feed a dog or cat for only $5 per month. Colorado Pet Pantry has developed an efficient distribution system, leveraging more than 1,000 volunteers, so they can keep the cost of feeding pets low.

Your donation also gives relief to our state’s hard-working animal shelters and rescues, by keeping loved pets in their homes.

Please, join me in supporting Colorado Pet Pantry's mission to help keep people and their pets together. 

Thank you!!!
