Her first thought was about Kramer. “I don’t have children of my own, so my cat is like my child. I became very sad,” said Donnelly, 50. “What if he didn’t make it ” Once she arrived home, Donnelly asked firefighters (消防员) to get her cat, but they were busy trying to control the fire. Then Red Paw Emergency Relief Team arrived. The organization helps pets and their owners for free when disaster strikes. Jen Leary, who set up the group, helped find the animals once the fire was out. “Everyone who received their pets started to cry,” said Donnelly. No one was hurt, but the Donnellys’ building was badly damaged, and they weren’t sure where they were going to stay. Donnelly was excited to learn that Red Paw could provide free short-term care for Kramer, her 17-year-old cat. “When someone loses everything in a fire, they shouldn’t then be forced to lose their pets — their family members — as well,” Leary said. “Letting them know, ‘We’ll take care of your animal like it is our own’ means the world to people.” After a big fire in 2011, Leary formed her organization. Since then, Leary and her group have provided help to nearly 1,000 animals and their families throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. Like the Red Cross, but for animals. Red Paw cared for the Donnellys’ cat for more than three weeks. “I cried when we were reunited,” said Donnelly. “They went above and beyond the call of duty. I am so thankful.” For Leary, helping families and their pets is what her work is all about. “My hope is that it’s a start, and they can move forward together,” she said. “After going through such a sad thing, it’s so good to have a happy ending.” 21.
