Early Saturday morning, April 19, an arsonist destroyed our 10,000 square foot animal clinic at 502 North Gilchrist Road in Tampa. We had just moved into our new home in the Summer of 2012 through donations and incredible support from the community. And now, everything was gone. We know that the material things can be replaced, but we lost much, much more than that.
In addition to destoying the entire clinic, including all of our medical equipment, and all of our supplies, this unthinkable crime took the lives of 3 of our beloved cats who called the clinic home. Jazz, Boy, and Mama were overcome by the smoke and were found dead after the flames were finally put out.
We are working to put together the pieces, but there are so many pieces that we are still overcome by the event and organizing our comeback plan. Initially, we will establish temporary facilities to continue our good work. Ultimately, we will replace what we have lost-our clinic on Gilchrist.
The support of the community is something we have always been humbled by, and the outpouring we have received since the fire has been a bright spot on a very dark situation. We have set up the Phoenix Fund as a central way for the community to help us on our way back to who we were before. We can only take monetary donations at this time, so anything you can give will help rise from the ashes and save animal lives again…because they need us.
Thank you for your love and support,
