Cookie is Seeking Hospice Placement or Foster-Based Transfer
Cookie is a gentle, spayed cat who recently had a mammary tumors fully excised. While she's currently comfortable and enjoying life's quiet comforts, her diagnosis carries a limited prognosis—most cats with this condition have a median survival time of two to three years.
She's still friendly, affectionate, and very much engaged with the world around her. Cookie isn't available for standard adoption, but she would thrive in a peaceful, loving home where she can spend her remaining time surrounded by warmth and kindness.
We're actively seeking a compassionate hospice placement for Cookie—or a transfer to an approved foster-based rescue partner who can provide her with the comfort and care she deserves. All medical history will be provided, and we're happy to support her care however we can.
If you're open to giving Cookie a soft landing, please reach out. Her journey isn't over, and she'd love to spend it with you.
