Frankie’s Friends helped Jinkx receive a life-saving foreign body removal surgery.
“To the incredible strangers who stepped up for us:
I am writing this with Jinkx finally safe and purring beside me. Just a few days ago, I was looking at a medical bill I couldn’t pay, terrified of losing my best friend. As a student navigating the world on my own, the weight felt impossible to carry. But then I found Frankie’s Friends You didn’t just pay a vet bill; you reminded me that I am not alone. You showed a young social work student and aspiring therapist that even when we don’t have a traditional safety net, we have community. You became the family I needed when I needed it most.
Because of your kindness, a 14-month-old cat has his whole life ahead of him, and I have my companion back. Thank you for choosing love, for choosing to help, and for giving us this second chance. My heart is full because of you.”
“I wanted to share a final update and a sincere thank you. Following his surgery, Jinkx is home safe and is recovering well. Seeing him resting comfortably again feels surreal after how scary this all was!
I am endlessly grateful to you and the team at Frankie’s Friends. Your generosity and dedication to animals (and their owners) quite literally made it possible for him to receive the emergency care he needed. The first email I received from you was the first time I felt hope and continued to carry me through one of the most overwhelming moments I’ve faced. It continues to mean more than I can put into words to feel so supported during an incredibly vulnerable time.
Because of you, Jinkx is healing, purring, eating, and slowly getting back to his sweet and silly self. I will never forget the care and compassion that showed up for us when we needed it most. Thank you for being there with an open heart for my little family and reminding me how powerful community can be.
Have a happy, peaceful holiday!
With so much love and gratitude.”
