Tulip, ASTER AND dAISY

When a senior lady in British Columbia was diagnosed with ALS, she reached out to My Grandfather’s Cat, hoping she could find a second forever home for her three beloved pets — Tulip, Aster and Daisy.

She began working with our volunteer, Melanie, to find them a second forever home. The trio was bonded, and the senior was hoping they could stay together. MGC and the senior were hopeful, but knew that it would be very difficult to find them a home together. With that, the search was on.

MGC started by sharing the trio, who by then were nicknamed The Flowers, on our social channels. A few weeks passed, and no applications came in. As the senior’s ALS progressed, we realized we had to do more.

The next month, we launched a massive outreach campaign. We launched reels, ads, and even reached out to the local media. With the help of our friends at The Vancouver Sun, we received over 30 inquiries for these sweet Flowers. Most importantly, six families were willing to adopt all three together.

The senior interviewed each applicant and held meet-and-greets, and chose Michelle and her fiancé, Darren to be their second forever family. The couple plans to visit the flowers over the next couple of months and officially welcome the trio into their home when the senior's ALS makes it no longer possible for her to care for them.

"We are so excited for them to join us. We're so happy to be able to help this lady. She's a pretty awesome lady."
