You Gave Hinda Her Best Friend Back

| September 4, 2025

When Hinda brought home her cat, Naya, she was facing one of the darkest periods of her life. Naya—a gentle, affectionate, and endlessly loving companion—was the light she needed.

“She saved me,” Hinda told us.

So when Naya began showing signs of serious dental pain, Hinda was devastated. The surgery would cost thousands of dollars—far more than she could afford.

“It’s devastating when your animal is hurting and you can’t help.” – Hinda

But because of supporters like you, Naya didn’t have to suffer. Through our Public Veterinary Services clinic, she received the surgery she needed. Today, she’s pain-free, playful, and back by Hinda’s side.

Hinda says, “It’s like I got my best friend back.”
