Senior Chiquita Needs Care After Losing Her Person

This sweet senior girl is now known as Chiquita, and her world was turned upside down overnight.

Chiquita was found alone inside a home beside her deceased owner. Confused, grieving, and suddenly without the only person she had ever known, she had nowhere to go. Thankfully, one of our own—a Saving Sage Animal Rescue volunteer, who was the sergeant on duty at the scene, made sure Chiquita was not left behind. After contacting next of kin and learning there was no one able to take her, Leah brought this precious girl straight into our care.

Despite everything she has endured, Chiquita is incredibly gentle, loving, and trusting. She seeks comfort, affection, and reassurance—even while navigating unimaginable loss.

Chiquita will need full veterinary care, including exams, bloodwork, vaccines, and a much-needed dental procedure to relieve discomfort and prevent further health issues. Aside from her dental needs, she appears to be in good health, especially remarkable given her age and the trauma she has experienced.

Senior pets like Chiquita are often overlooked, yet they have so much love left to give. We are committed to giving her the care, comfort, and dignity she deserves—but we can’t do it alone.

We are asking for your help to cover Chiquita’s veterinary care and dental treatment so she can begin this next chapter pain-free and surrounded by compassion. Every donation makes a difference. Every share helps her story reach someone who can help. Please help us show Chiquita that even after loss, love still exists
