Other Facets of the Silver Whiskers Program
Several times the Silver Whiskers Program has stepped outside the usual boundaries of placing seniors with seniors.
On two occasions the program was contacted by the families of two little girls...one was 8 and the other 7. Both had terminal brain cancer, and both longed for a pet. The Silver Whiskers Program arranged placement of a puppy with one and a kitten with other. Everything needed to care for them was donated as well. Seeing the happiness and distraction these pet companions provided was beyond heartwarming.
The families of both girls expressed their sincere gratitude for making the last weeks of their daughter's lives meaningful and fulfilling.
