Project Report | Jan 10, 2026
Gatsby is Home Because Of Your Support!

By Paula Lucas | Founder

Gatsby, a cherished family cat, is safe at home in the United States thanks to your support!

When Lauren needed to flee domestic violence with her daughter Ashley from Switzerland, leaving Gatsby behind was not an option—he was a vital source of comfort and stability during a frightening time.

Pathways coordinated safety planning, complex logistics, and international pet relocation so Lauren, Ashley and Gatsby could escape together. Safe at home and secure, they spent a lovely Christmas together.

Gatsby provides daily reassurance as the family begins to heal and rebuild their lives. Your generosity ensured this family could find safety without sacrificing the bonds that sustain survivors, honoring the role that beloved pets play in recovery and resilience.

And, Gatsby thinks you are purrrfect!

Thank you from the Pathways Team!
