National Cat Day Announcement

   
We are excited to share the news that our wonderful cat Guppy now has a sponsor, Ron, who is helping us out with her care and medical needs! And what better time to announce this than on National Cat Day, October 29, 2023. According to the National Cat Day website, this holiday is celebrated “to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued each year and also to encourage cat lovers to celebrate the cat(s) in their life for the unconditional love and companionship they bestow upon us." Guppy has certainly bestowed unconditional love upon all of us here at the FGSC, and we are so happy to know that she has someone looking out for her.

 

As many of you know, Guppy is our special cat with a cleft palate who you can easily recognize by her calico coat and her unique, friendly face. To learn more about how Ron met Guppy and decided to sponsor her, check out this Q&A we had with him:

 

Q: How did you find out about the Feline Good Social Club?

A: I first heard about the Feline Good Social Club through a friend. My girlfriend and I decided to go on a lazy Sunday to get some animal time!

Q: Tell me about the first time you met Guppy.

A: I first saw Guppy when I was sitting on the floor petting other cats. I turned around and she was sitting like a dog, staring at me with a bit of drool on her mouth. (She just ate)      I immediately fell in love with her and could tell she was a sweetheart.             

Q: How did you decide to sponsor her?

A: I decided to offer sponsorship to Guppy after doing a bit of research on feline cleft palates the night after I visited. I saw that there was a possibility it could improve her quality of life and wanted to offer my time to help make it happen.

Q: What does sponsorship mean to you?

A: To me, sponsorship is just a way I can volunteer in a focused way to help address Guppy’s individual needs. There is obviously so much good happening at the social club with all of the rescues, and I hope that my extra hand can help with some of the odd jobs needed to make it happen.

With Ron’s support, we have taken Guppy to get a new vet’s opinion about treatment options for her condition. The good news is that other than the cleft palate, she seems to be a healthy and happy cat. She is able to eat, drink, and clean herself, which is all comforting to know. She is definitely living her best life here at the FGSC! That said, we will continue to explore treatment options to see if there is anything that can or should be done for her condition.

We’d like to thank Ron again for all his help. He is turning out to be the purrfect sponsor for Guppy!
