Farewell to Our Station Cat 🐾

Today, we say goodbye to a very special member of our EMS family. Our beloved station cat has been a source of comfort, companionship, and joy for everyone who has walked through our doors. From greeting crews after long shifts to keeping watch during quiet nights, she truly became part of who we are.

As she enters her final days, she will be leaving the station to be lovingly cared for by Jo Ann, who is giving her the peace and comfort she deserves. While we will deeply miss her presence at the station, we are grateful for the memories and the many little moments of happiness she brought us all.

Thank you for being part of our family. You’ll always be remembered with love. ❤️🐾
