On Monday April 23, Mary was diagnosed with anal cancer that had spread throughout her abdomen. Although the news was not good from the veterinarian who examined Mary, the decision was made to take her home. And that's where her story begins.

For the rest of her life, all of us at CAPE have dedicated ourselves to giving Mary enriching, fun and loving experiences. In this blog you will be treated to seeing Mary as she meanders through her days living at the CAPE Animal Sanctuary with our executive director JP Novic and her husband Josh Novic.

On the couch with her are Maia and another foster Dottie. Mary is settled in, comfortable and carefree.
