From Lonely Heart to Loving Home: Sunny's Story

When 14-year old Sunny came to Cat Care Society, she was heartbreakingly fragile — facing advanced kidney disease, severe anemia, constant vomiting, and dangerous weight loss.

But even in her weakest moments, Sunny's spirit never wavered. She purred through exams and headbutted our staff’s hands as if to say, “Don’t give up on me.” And we didn't.

Sunny quickly became a staff favorite at Cat Care Society. We welcomed her into our “Lonely Hearts Club,” a special group reserved for cats who need a little extra help finding their perfect match. These are often older cats, those who have been with us for a long time, or cats with complex medical needs. 

After 5 months of care in the shelter, Sunny found her perfect match — a local veterinarian who could provide the ongoing medical attention she needed and a loving home for her golden years.

“Sunny is doing great! She is a very sweet girl, loves pets and cuddles, and has adjusted well. Her kidney disease is also doing well, her anemia is holding steady, and her weight has continued to go up.” -Dr. Hale

Today, Sunny is no longer a Lonely Heart. She is safe. She is cherished. She is thriving.

And it's all because of donors like you.

Your support provides the medications, fluids, lab work, and specialized care that give cats like Sunny a second chance. Right now, there are 54 senior cats currently in our care — waiting for someone to see them, love them, and take a chance on them.
