Sergeant Alyssa is facing an unthinkable heartbreak: leaving behind the one friend who has stood by her through everything–Shmelly.

When they first met, Shmelly was a tiny, injured cat struggling to survive. Alyssa couldn’t turn her away. She cleaned Shmelly’s wounds, cared for her and gave her a chance at life.

In return, Shmelly became more than just a companion–she became Alyssa’s lifeline. A source of comfort, strength and unconditional love during some of the darkest days of her deployment.

But now, Alyssa’s time overseas is ending.

Military regulations prohibit Alyssa from bringing Shmelly back with her when her deployment ends. Alyssa doesn’t want to lose the cat who helped her survive. She wants to give Shmelly the safe, loving home she deserves. But she needs your help.
