Papyrus’s Letter To MEOW Supporters

Dearest Supporter,

My name’s Papyrus! Today seems like the perfect time to share the tale of how MEOW Foundation helped me on my journey to find my happily ever after!

My story begins when I was transferred into MEOW’s care from a partner agency because I live with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Cats with FIV can live long, happy, healthy lives, and I was very excited to start my adoption journey with some other FIV friends at MEOW.

To ensure other cats stayed healthy, I got the most prestigious accommodation: the office cat suite. The suite included unlimited snuggles and pets, or at least that’s what I assumed during my stay. It was hard for MEOW’s team to appreciate my good looks when I showed up looking rather silly, being hairless, but nevertheless, I still stole the hearts of all the staff and volunteers.

Other things weren’t quite right with my body. I was underweight — eating up all my food and trying to sneak the intake staff lunches— but not gaining any weight; I was very itchy, and my coat just wouldn’t grow back properly. MEOW’s team figured out I had environmental and food allergies.

I was put on a new diet; it was soooo yummy. Soon, I wasn’t itchy, and my hair began to grow back, healthy and thick. I finally looked like my handsome self. I was ready to finally get adopted and move on from this chapter of my life.

Many cats who live with FIV stay a little longer in MEOW’s care than other cats. So, I ran weekly staff meetings, enforced some very strict cuddle and pet rules, shared my input and told the funniest stories.

Finally, on a warm summer day, about four-and-a-half months after my arrival at MEOW, someone came to meet me. ME! She fell in love with my charming personality, and I was adopted! I finally went home with my perfect match and favourite friend. Every day we tell each other all our stories, snuggle up and live happily ever after.

Today I’m writing this letter beside my human, all because of MEOW Foundation’s hard work.

But none of this would have been possible if not for supporters like you!
