Meet Cemen! We found him in the cemetery he follows us going to my Dad's grave until we get back to the highway and he tried to jump up to the car so we decided to bring him home. He is now in his forever home. The last picture is his first bath.

Success Story/Happy Ending This cat was dumped at the market while pregnant, went into labour on a cold and windy day and couldn't find a spot to have her babies. I brought her in, and she delivered on my bed.

Success Story/Happy Ending Cranberry Sauce is ADOPTED!

Just thought I’d share an update since a lot of you donated and supported Cranberry Sauce while she was in foster with me. She went to her forever home this morning and it’s almost too perfect to be true. She now has a tortie sister and a one-eyed brother! She’s the combination of both of them. 🥹 Most of her wounds have healed up and even though she still has an abscess on her head that’s draining, her parents were more than happy to continue her care so she doesn’t have to be in foster for much longer. Thank you everyone who donated to her vet bills. She deserves this happy ending. 💕💕💕

Success Story/Happy Ending 🧡 A update on Red, the cat who was dumped. He found his forever home! 🎉

559 Upvotes

Previous post: Link here

UPDATE! Red is SAFE and in a forever home! He no longer will be living on the streets. No longer will go to sleep hungry, have to worry where his next meal will come from, where a safe place to rest his head will be, protecting himself from predators and cruel people... he's safe. And he's the happiest I've ever seen him in the entire 2 months he was living in my mobile home park. He always walked around with a an exhausted and despaired look on his face, and who could blame him? He doesn't have to worry about any of that now. He found his people, he found HIS home. So many people rooted for him, and those positive thoughts and wishes worked in his favor. Red truly deserved this amazing outcome. 🥹

I want to thank everyone for caring so much about this sweet boy and for being so patient regarding my responses to know if it all ended well. It definitely did. He lucked out with the perfect home, and it truly couldn't have been a better match. Between networking to find Red an adopter/or foster, coordinating transport, communicating with the amazing TNR caretaker who offered to board him for a week while I figured out a plan, and caring for a TNR'd feral for a week + a one-eyed cat for 5 days who was just picked up by the rescue this morning and is being transported 6 hours to his foster home... plus caring for 5 of my own... it's been a bit chaotic! But it paid off and my heart is full and happy, as I'm sure so many people will feel the same way once they see this video of him in his new home.

This is why rescue is so important, as well as spaying and neutering. To promise that each cat, especially the ones dumped/abandoned, find their forever home and can leave a lasting imprint on so many lives. Please consider adopting from your local county shelter or fostering a cat from your nearest rescue, and don't forget to spay and neuter your pets. If you can no longer keep an animal due to personal circumstances, reach out for help. It's out there, I promise. Don't dump them and leave them to survive on their own, because chances are they won't make it very long. Together we can make a world of a difference for so many.

Love you, Red. May you enjoy your new home, you sweet beautiful orange boy!

Success Story/Happy Ending What my little boy looked like the days he came into the our clinic doors

Akela was dropped off in a trap to my job emaciated, covered in fleas, sky high liver values, and a horrible corneal ulcer.

We didn’t know if his eye could be saved.

After 3 months of what felt like around the clock eye meds, a liver supplement, getting neutered, and finding his forever home with me, Akela was safe. No more wondering where his next meal is or getting into fights with other ferals.

Looking back, I don’t even know how he made it on the streets, he is the most timid, clingy, affectionate loving boy there is.

I rescued her and she was in bad condition with one of her almost gone and I didn’t have any money to take her to the vet. After posting here u/jaimymorgan came forward and helped by giving some funds and i could take her to the vet. Safe to say she is all healed now and tomorrow she is going to her forever home! Thank to everyone who prayed and specially u/jaimymorgan for helping out. I could save her thanks to you!

This beautiful girl was stuck in SBCAS (San Bernardino City Animal Shelter) since 9/29/24. After her new mom spotted her here on Reddit on a post she reached out to ask about adopting her. The wheels were then set in motion. After agreeing to adopt her we then pulled her. Callie turned out to be an extremely sweet healthy and friendly girl. After a short weather delay last weekend we were able to team relay her to our transport pick up starting point here in So California. From there she rode first class in the trucks cab with a few other kitties all the way (all day) to her new home. By midnight (yes long day manning the group transport chat) she had finally reached home! She immediately got comfortable and started making herself at home lol These are the best happy endings! Congratulations Callie, you hit the lottery! Her new mom is lovely. Look for more Callie updates from her new mom. Thank you everyone who took part in rescuing this little angel! Best wishes Callie! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🧸❤️

About four months ago, we found this mangey guy in a hole in the grass next in a park. His eyes were so irritated they wouldnt open all the way, with no hair around his ears face or neck and so much flea dirt he left a trail wherever he went. He didnt care though, all he wanted to do was cuddle us and flop around. And one can of tuna later he was in my car, traveling to the ER vet since nowhere else would take him. There they diagnosed him with FIV and said he was 7 pounds and probably about one year old. They said if he had stayed out on the streets he likely wouldn’t have made it through the winter. Now he’s 10.5 pounds, happy, and sleeps on our faces every night. He never nips or scratches (unless food is involved) and finally learned how to play. His coat has fully healed, and despite losing a few teeth to gingivitis, he is a happy and healthy cat without any issues. I never thought a feral cat could be this loving, but hes proven me wrong. I love him a lot.

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!

It’s crazy what a little love (and a lot of meds) can do for some of these super sick babies! My foster Jillian is officially up for adoption today and I couldn’t be happier. I truly thought she wasn’t going to make it when I first got her, she kept crashing and was just in awful shape. But after spending many sleepless nights syringe feeding her and making sure she stayed warm enough, it’s finally all paid off😻 I am so grateful to be able to foster and help give these babes a chance at a happy and full life. Onto the next one!

Nips loves 2 things.

1: His mom (and "family"). 2: Food

Nips has CH and is currently battling FIP (which used to be 100% fatal a few years ago!)

He's being treated and the medicine gives him the munchies.

So everyday around the exact same time, he knows it's almost time for meds and food/snacks, and this is what he does.

(Treatment is going great for Nips! He is up almost 2 pounds already!)
