Toasty’s First Day as a Three-Legged Cat 🐾
hi everyone 🥺 This is an extremely personal update on Toasty’s journey as she adjusts to life on three legs after her recent accident. 2024 has been the hardest year of our lives, full of so much loss, devastation & grief, but seeing Toasty’s resilience and bravery has been truly inspiring, so I must persist. 💖
Help Toasty Heal
My friends @PantheraTheFeralwoodWitch & @doogsley were kind enough to set up a fundraiser to help cover the emergency surgery bills, and every bit of support brings us closer to giving Toasty the best care possible. If you’re able to donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cannot express my gratitude enough, but know that every little bit goes to making Toasty's life better.
