about raya

Raya has a story that’s as heart-wrenching as it is inspiring. One look into her soulful brown eyes, and you’ll see her longing for a family who will fill her world with love.

Diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot—an extremely rare congenital heart defect affecting all four chambers—Raya’s condition is, unfortunately, beyond the help of surgery or medication. Most animals with this diagnosis live only up to two years, and we anticipate that within six months, Raya may face congestive heart failure or sudden cardiac arrest. Her heart condition has also prevented us from further investigating deformities in her hind legs, which give her a unique gait but add to her charm. Raya would thrive as the only pet in a quiet home with no stairs, where she can enjoy peaceful days filled with love and care. 

Could you be the one to provide Raya with the comfort, affection, and joy she so deserves, for however much time she has left?
