*Ren, *Rosco and *Luna
*Ren shares a heartwarming story about an unlikely bond between her cat and dog, and finding comfort in knowing they are together at Pet Refuge.
"We weren't sure how my dog, *Roscoe, was going to take having *Luna as a feline friend. We literally thought he might eat her. So we had her on a bed, but one day she fell off. And Roscoe swooped in, and I thought for sure, she's a goner. But he picked her up so gently and put her back on the bed. And I thought, oh wow, he's a real dad.
Roscoe is a big boy, and he weighs over 70kg. And Luna is tiny, she would only be a couple of kgs. So, it's quite funny when you see them together – an unlikely but inseparable pair.
I was in a domestic violence situation, and I had to leave my home. The violence was directed at Luna and Roscoe, too. There was nowhere for all of us to go together. And then, I managed to find Pet Refuge.
It feels good to know that Luna and Roscoe are at Pet Refuge together. It definitely helps me sleep better at night, knowing that I'm not going to lose them and that they will come home together. I can't wait until we're all back together again."
Letter from reunited families

"They’re not just cats. They’re our family.
That’s what made Pet Refuge so special – they understood that. They were a dedicated support for the pets. Once we got them into Pet Refuge, I felt like I could breathe again knowing they were safe, warm, and cared for. They even had their birthdays while they were there.
I’ll never forget the support Pet Refuge gave us. In the middle of so much chaos, they kept our cats safe so that our family could stay together" - *Maddy
