11/30/23 Manatee came to us at the beginning of October in 2022. It didn’t take long. A month later, she found her forever 
home. Manatee ended up losing an eye, and this poor girl has had one medical condition after another. Her family loved her fiercely throughout it all.
Sadly, her body gave out, and she just couldn’t breathe. We know Manatee did not have a good life before she came into
rescue. We know that based on the condition she was in. We also know we found the absolute perfect family for her, and we will be forever grateful for the love they poured into her.
Manatee was with me to start, and then a longtime adopter fostered her and had a hard time letting go. He soon came to realize the family chosen for Manatee were top notch and he saw her blossom in her family. We are heartbroken for them and are very sorry for their loss. Rest in peace Manatee, sweet baby girl.
