Katherine Citak, senior at WKU has had her emotional support animal, Zoee, since she was in 7th grade. Citak registered Zoee as a support animal last semester so she could keep her in her apartment. Citak’s grandmother and best friends’ father had both passed away, and she felt overwhelmed studying for the MCAT. “When it gets lonely, she’s there. I can cuddle with her and it just makes me feel better,” Citak said. “I love having her around. She’s just good company.”
