I am very fond of the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation and do whatever I can to support them. Their work with senior pets as well as the way they help people care for their pets is very admirable. The nonprofit was created to honor Catherine who died at Sandy Hook School in 2012. She loved animals and is a little hero.
