Travis adopted in December of 2019 from the Humane Society of Pinellas in Florida.  We’ll provide you with contact information in case you need to contact veteran for further follow up.

Pet's Name
	Kitty kat
A little about me
	Medically retired from the US Army, moved to Florida after separation. Currently working for Pinellas County Utilities.
My military experiences
	Served during OIF, OIR. Spent time in Taji and Al Taqaddum, Iraq. Served as a 92G in the US Army.
My most memorable experience from my time in service
	Serving hot breakfast to the Marines who spent all night on the lines. They were thankful to just have a hot meal.
Why I chose to adopt a pet
	We were looking for a pet to complete our family. Our kids have all grown and moved out. Time to fill that empty room with none other then a cat. She has definitely adopted that space as her own.
Why I chose to adopt through Pets for Patriots
	Google! We heard a story about pets for Patriots and decided to see if we even qualify for the program. Took us awhile to make the decision of what pet to look for.
How my honorably adopted pet has changed my life
	The cat has allowed us to step back and relax. We use to spend hours just watching Netflix. Now we have to take turns entertaining the cat.
What I love most about my new pet friend
	She is super friendly. 5 minutes after bringing her home she started to rub herself on everything she could. Made herself right at home.
What I would tell other veterans or service members who might be thinking about adopting through Pets for Patriots
	We selected a 6 year old cat. Most people tend to over look the older animals. Yes an older animal could have health issues, or concerns, but just like humans they become themselves. A young animal doesn't know its personality, or behavior yet. You may get a wild child.

Passionate about pets being a family member. Will be our baby in a fur coat.
