My cat Pearl is a family member. Chloe was too, but passed away last September. I got Pearl from a rescue also, at age 1. She's two years old now. She plays and makes me laugh! She's always by my side, just like a dog. When my MS is acting up she's so comforting. Whether it's a cat or a dog, or a bird. These pets I think really help us, at least me, as I live with such a variable and nasty disease .

Oh, I want a cat so much. I am 74 and live alone because Ron went to Glory in 2023. I was always afraid a cat would trip him up. I guess it could do so to me as well, but still....This program shows a pic of Ron and me together, and bears his name. My name is Lynn. Thank you all for welcoming me here. ❤️

I adopted Goby from a shelter when he was 10. He was adopted once and returned 24-hours later. Mine was his third home.

After 6 years he keeps me on a tight schedule. I swear he has a military clock somewhere on his body. I work from home and he makes sure I get up on time and lets me know when the workday is over. He also makes sure I take breaks. We are together 24/7. He’s a fluff monster who loves cuddles and pets but won’t do laps.

I feel the feeling is mutual he has a home where he is loved unconditionally and he keeps me company on my MS journey.

My dog Judah is such a huge part of my life, I can't imagine him not being here. He makes me laugh and feel safe. I love him so much.
