Trigger Warning! This episode discusses grief and loss, cancer diagnoses and treatments,and emotional stories of pet loss.

In this episode, I welcome my guest, Sally Williams. She has dedicated her adult life to cats and nonprofits. Sally is a lifelong animal lover, former pet sitter, cat behaviorist, cat advocate, Founder of The Brodie Fund, speaker, proud cat mom and Founder and President of Mission Meow. She lives in New Jersey with her husband of 30 years, Scott. They have 4 amazing cats, named The Pawsome Foursome, and includes Jonesy, West, Henry and Jameson- you’ll hear everything about these amazing cats in the next episode!

In this episode you’ll meet Marlin and Brodie, the two cats that truly changed Sally’s life. Sally details the stories of how both cats found her, developed their bonds, their cancer diagnoses and treatments. We talk about how those tremendous experiences led Sally to create a nonprofit to help other Pet Parents dealing with cancer in their cats. Sally and I also discuss the grief we feel when dealing with the loss of our pets. From anticipatory grief when our pets become ill and need medical treatment, to the actual loss of our fur babies. I hope you enjoy this incredible conversation and emotional experience between the two of us.
