For anyone with a pet in the Lancaster/Millersville area, take them to River Hills Veterinary Hospital in Conestoga, PA (3 mi. from Millersville). And if you're outside of the area and not happy with your Vet, she is worth the drive. Not only will you're furry loved one leave happy, but you will as well. Brenda DeLuca is an amazing Vet, and a wonderful person. I learned this during my first visit with her for our semi-feral cat Prudence, but even more so now with lil Zorro. It has been a long road to recovery for him, not that we are there yet, but she has been there to help every step of the way, and has gone out of her way to help us get him treated at a reasonable price.
Among all of the amazing things she has done while treating him these past few months, she really amazed me today when she stopped by the local cafe that I work at. She immediately had a huge smile and asked how Zorro was doing. Her and the Vet she recommended me to (Chris Runnels of Lititz Vet Hospital) have kept in contact with one another and updated each other on his status (how adorable, right? Can't get much better care than that...or so I thought..) She can't believe how well he is doing and how much better he looks. She even told me that the new Vet can't fully understand what a miracle it is that he has made it this far, compared to how bad a shape he was in even just a month ago, let alone when she first saw him in July.
After chatting for a bit and making her a latte, she wondered when the surgery was. I told her it was just a little over a week away and then she told me she wanted to donate to help us. We are supposed to be paying her, not the other way around! How amazing, absolutely and truly amazing! I told her that I couldn't accept it after all she has done for us so far, but she wouldn't have it. She ended up donating $60 for the little guy, and we couldn't be more grateful. No matter how disappointing people may be sometimes, it's always great to be reminded just how amazing and selfless people can be as well. I am still shocked hours later that she was willing to do this for us. She deserves all the thanks she can get and I would love if people could send thank you's to her for us as well. On behalf of Zorro....

Her gracious and thoughtful donation brings us to $270 in total donations. That means we are half-way to our goal with a little over a week to go! Once again we are so grateful for your willingness to give and your selfless love for animals. Little Zorro wouldn't survive without this surgery so all of you have had a hand in saving his life. We (and he) will be forever grateful. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated. For those of you who haven't, please consider helping us to achieve our goal, and for those of you that have, please spread the word and love around. We are sooooo very close to meeting our goal, and every little bit counts whether it's $1 or in this case $60. Thank you everyone! : )
