Hello, Furry Refuge.
As some of you may have heard, Mikayla from Save A Fox recently passed away. We want to take this opportunity to remind all of you that even when you don’t see a way out of your pain, there is always someone to talk to. Even if you don’t have friends, family, or a neighbor to talk to there is always someone you can call.
We want to share a few of these resources with you and tell you that your stories are not yet over. There is no shame in reaching out to someone for help, nor is it ever too late. We care about all of those who use our services and want all of you to thrive in life and succeed in your goals. If you feel like you can’t talk to anyone, please reach out to one of the following resources. Whether you are a survivor of abuse, a military veteran, or struggling with other issues, there is always someone who wants to help.
We love all of you and appreciate you continuing to use Furry Refuge for your socializing and enjoyment. Thank you for being with us.
