Twig the cat has always been deeply attached to his canine companion, Meadow. Whenever Twig’s owner, Lee, leaves the house, the devoted cat can be found at the window, almost as if he’s wondering why he wasn’t included and when Meadow will return. Each time they come back, Twig is there at the door, eagerly waiting. It became clear that Twig wanted to be more involved in Meadow’s daily life. Curious about how Twig might enjoy participating in Meadow’s activities, Lee decided to take him outside along with Meadow.

To everyone’s delight, Twig quickly adapted, and their outdoor time soon became a cherished morning routine. Seeing the bond between the two pets grow was heartwarming, especially after the unexpected loss of Willow, Lee’s service dog, in 2020. Both Lee and Meadow were devastated, and it became clear that Meadow needed a new friend.

From the very first day, Twig and Meadow showed a strong interest in each other. The following morning, Lee found them sleeping head-to-head, a touching sign that bringing Twig into their lives was the right decision. Since then, the two have been inseparable, forming a close relationship that continues to deepen. They do everything together, relying on each other for companionship.

When they play, there’s a clear understanding between them—they never hurt each other, showing how well they’ve learned to interact safely. Knowing that Meadow and Twig have each other for company when Lee is away is a source of comfort.

What these dogs went through must have been terrifying and painful. That's why we're demanding true and complete justice for these pups and their family.

One day, Lee decided to take their adventures a step further by placing Twig in a bag for a longer walk outside. Twig loved it, and the trio began exploring together, with Twig peeking out to watch Meadow walk.
