Why We Chose to Support the Eating Disorder National Association (NEDA)
​
At Sweet Giants Maine Coon cattery, we have always believed in the importance of giving back to our community and supporting causes close to our hearts. That's why we've chosen to stand by the Eating Disorder National Association (NEDA) as one of our primary charitable initiatives.
Our journey with NEDA is deeply personal. Our own daughter faces the harrowing battle of an eating disorder. This experience shook our family to the core and opened our eyes to the urgency of the matter. The emotional and physical toll, as well as the immense challenges she faced, inspired us to take action.
