Together Again With Tiny Teena

Dear friends,

I hope this letter finds you all in good health and spirits. My name is Macaulay Ward, and today, I come to you with a heartfelt request for help.

Some of you may have heard about my little companion, Tiny Teena, who embarked on a grand adventure exploring the beauty of the southwest United States in 2022 and early 2023. Unfortunately, on February 25th, I lost track of Teena during our journey. It was a moment of carelessness on my part, and I have since learned from it and promise to be more responsible in the future.

Tiny Teena, the curious and playful soul she is, slipped out of the car unbeknownst to me. My daughter and I searched tirelessly for 24 hours, leaving our contact information with the kind locals in Eloy, Arizona. They, too, joined in the search, providing comfort and support during that difficult time. However, I had to return east for an honors college engagement that I had committed to.

Months passed, and on July 28th, we received a miraculous notification. Teena was found at the Advanced Veterinary Specialist office in Santa Barbara, California! It was a moment of joy and gratitude for my family. We all rallied together to figure out how to cover our responsibilities at home and raise funds for the trip to bring Tiny Teena back where she belongs - home with us.

As I write this, I am about to embark on a journey to reunite with my beloved feline friend. Today, Thursday, Aug. 3rd, I leave Indianapolis, leaving behind my one and only baby child for the first time. The journey includes a layover before landing in San Diego, CA , where my Uncle Ned will be waiting for me to begin the trip together back to Indiana with sweet baby Teena.

I am elated to share that ASAP CATS in Santa Barbara has assured me that Teena is happy and healthy. This experience has been serendipitous and humbling, and it has shown me the immense power of coming together as a community.

So, dear friends, I am reaching out to all of you, from every corner of life, to kindly ask for your help. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a significant difference in bringing this dream homecoming to fruition. Let us join hands and hearts to ease the burden of bringing our beloved Tiny Teena back where she belongs, surrounded by love and care.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you to all those who have already contributed to our cause. Your support fills me with immense gratitude, and I look forward to the day I can share the joyful news of Teena's safe return with all of you.

With warmest regards,

Macaulay Ward
