Sox and Sunny Bunny are inseparable Maine Coon-mix brothers, who lived with their mother through tough times. As her health began to fail, the trio found themselves living in mom’s car. Socks is a very gentle older brother who likes to groom Sunny, but he started to struggle with all the noise and activity of homelessness. This family needed relief, and found it with People for Animals.

We placed Sox and Sunny in our Foster care, while we helped their mom recover in the hospital. Our Foster volunteers were kind, generous, patient, and incredibly supportive of Sox and Sunny’s mom, so she could focus on fully healing. Now she’s overcome her issues and has a new home for herself and her cats!

Buffy and Jayda love their papa, a proud working veteran; even though he had a job, he still struggled with affordable housing and sadly became homeless. Buffy and Jayda entered our Foster care, while we helped their dad, who still insisted on trying to pay for their veterinary expenses. With the help of PFA, he now has an apartment to share with his two precious cats, and all three are cuddling together in their very own home!

Mittens and her mom went through a tumultuous time; after a plan to relocate for a job fell through, mom was left scrambling to find her footing. She was able to find temporary stay with a family member, but there was no place for Mittens. To make matters worse, her other cat Onyx sadly passed away from a heart attack, earlier in the year. Mom found steady work and the plan was for Mittens to only need a short stay in Foster, but it ended up taking her months to find an affordable apartment, and the separation took its toll on the two of them. Thankfully, Mom has finally saved up enough for a new home for her and Mittens together!

Gianna is a two-year-old Border Collie who has only known life with her dad. When he started having health troubles and needed to enter the hospital for an extended stay, he reached out to PFA for help. Gianna is a social butterfly who loves to play and gets along well with children and cats! But the new environment made her nervous; our Foster was kind and gentle to this girl, and helped her work on her potty training. This relief was vital for Gianna and her human, who is now back home with his pup!

Just before Thanksgiving 2025, all six pets wrapped up their Foster stays and were reunited with their families!

With renewed health and new beginnings, these four lucky families celebrating their holidays together!
