Jet & Oliver were rescued by us a second time after their beloved foster mom, Melissa,was found dead in her apartment with them during a welfare check.
They were seized by animal control and placed on a 14 day hold. We got them out after their 14 day hold. Our amazing volunteer, Amy, transported them from Long Beach to their new foster home in Pasadena.
Their foster parents fell in love with them instantly. Two weeks later, they decided to adopt them 💜💜💜
Melissa can rest in peace now, knowing that they are safe and loved FOREVER.
Backstory:
Melissa and Oliver lived in a tent in Long Beach for a year and a half. We helped her get an ESA letter for Oliver to secure housing (their full story is one of our highlights). As soon as she was housed in December 2023, she offered to foster Jet who had been in a cage at a high kill shelter for 433 days. She spoiled him and was so patient with him. She loved these boys with all her heart. We miss Melissa and her compassionate heart 💜 We'll never forget you, Melissa.
