Success Story/Happy Ending The difference between the hard Street life and the good life
Rescued this cute little girl and her mama from a junk yard. She wouldn't get within 10 feet of me, but followed when I would go to feed her. Trapped her right after her mama, I felt bad she was living all alone but I couldn't let mama get pregnant again! She took a long time to trust, but you can see the stress in her face just faded away. 🥰 Now she has a BFF!

They're gorgeous! And you're right, the anxiety on their faces is gone. It's nice when a cat just get to cat. Good job!! ❤️

Thank you for the title of this post. I am struggling extremely right now because I have four cats that I TNRd and the intent was always to get them in a rescue. I was told the other day that there is room (for two) now. I am in a lot of emotional pain because I don't know who I'm going to take in first and I'm going to miss them and feel guilty because I have to separate them. I know "street life" isn't safe for them. This is just so hard.

I'm so glad you've found a resource and stay positive because they may take the others very soon! That would be a hard decision, but listen to your heart in deciding who needs to go first. Don't be sad, any number of circumstances on the street can separate them tragically, this is a beautiful separation. And it's ok to miss the ones you love, letting them go makes room to help more😊. Be happy for yourself, you've achieved your goal and you are doing a wonderful thing! We always miss the ones that go, it's just a testament to the love you poured into your work.. 🙏

Two of them went to the rescue today. I'm feeling pretty sad because I miss them and the other two miss them. I came back to read your comment to remember why I did this. A beautiful separation, right? If you are a praying person please pray that they can take the others soon and they will be reunited.

It's bittersweet😔 I will pray that those babies can be rescued also. You did a great thing. Remember, you did it for them to have a spoiled, comfy, warm, carefree, loving home, it's a very selfless thing to pour your heart and soul into their care 💕

Aw so cute. Looks so much better. Do you have mama and baby? Thank you so much for rescuing them both. Inside is so much better. 💜
