Elise Fero never experienced a normal life. For people like her, anxiety, depression, and discrimination were part of her daily life. But during times of hardship, she always found herself in the company of animals.

As she said, “When my head was shaking and the world screamed at me, my dog Peanut would sit with me and lick my tears away— a comfort I couldn’t attain from people, a connection that was completely made of love and support, held together with no judgement or hate.”

She asked other people who experienced the same situation like hers and found that the best way to cope with the condition was to get an emotional support animal or ESA. That’s when she and Winnie met, a shelter cat that quickly learned how to provide support for Elise’s emotional needs. Now, she has found a new purpose in life – to keep on living and provide a good life to herself and Winnie.
