Melissa - "MK" - Munchkin - Munchie

Your Pet's Quirks
None! She was perfect. MK had such a fun, happy personality. Never met a piece of chicken she didn't like. There was no baby gate high enough to contain her, even at 12 years old.

Your Pet's Story or Bio
Melissa was taken to CARA as a senior. Emergency surgery saved her life. She helped in the office until we adopted her. She had many health issues, including an enlarged heart. We didn't know how much time we'd have together but wanted to make every day count. She loved and lived every day to the fullest. She passed in January after battling chronic kidney failure. This picture is from Melissa's last visit at CARA taking Christmas treats to her shelter pals. We thought we were helping Melissa by adopting her, but it was the other way around. Melissa totally changed our lives, and we are richer for knowing and loving her. MK has such a sweet face, loving heart, and the cutest little bounce. Seniors truly are the greatest. Love and miss you our sweet Munchkin <3
