A heartbreaking scene \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>

Imagine the scene: two cats bask in their guardian\u2019s happiness as she packs her bags. They play in the cardboard boxes and paw at the bubble wrap. \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The first, Zygo, rubs up against his human\u2019s legs, while Zinnia, the second, chases a Styrofoam packing peanut at full speed. <\/span>Wherever their human wants to go, they\u2019re ready to be part of the adventure. <\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A truck is parked out front and the apartment gradually empties. There are fewer and fewer boxes. <\/span>Soon, all that\u2019s left is a litter box, a large bag of kibble ripped open on the kitchen tiles, and a trickle of water running from the bathroom faucet. \u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Their sobbing guardian places a kiss on Zygo\u2019s forehead, another on Zinnia\u2019s, before locking the door behind her. <\/span>It\u2019s at this moment that Zygo and Zinnia realize they are won\u2019t be going on a trip…<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Consider donating today<\/a> and give other animals like Zygo and Zinnia the second chance they deserve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We can only imagine\u00a0<\/h1>

We\u2019ll never know the real story of Zygo and Zinnia. However, after hearing hundreds of similar tales, this is what we imagine. \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Zygo and Zinnia were found in an empty unit in the Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie borough, before a kind neighbour brought them to the Montreal SPCA. \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe hear heartbreaking stories like Zygo and Zinnia\u2019s every day. <\/span>The rising cost of living and the lack of affordable, animal-friendly housing is putting more and more pressure on the organizations, like the Montreal SPCA,<\/span><\/b> that make up the social safety net<\/span><\/b>,\u201d explains Anthony Johnson, Executive Director.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Fortunately, these two felines spent only a few days at the shelter before being adopted by loving families.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Donate<\/span> today<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>ease<\/span> the pressure on the Montreal SPCA. <\/span>Helpless<\/span> animals<\/span> need<\/span> your<\/span> help <\/span>now<\/span> more <\/span>than<\/span> ever<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
