Little is known about the very beginning of Winkie’s life, but he certainly has had some rough early years. When he was young, he was hit by a car, which broke his back, bent his nasal cavity, chipped off some of his teeth, and stole his sight. When he was brought to the vet, one of his eyes had to be removed completely. The other is still intact but is marbleized and mostly (or possibly entirely) useless. He now walks with a sort of hopping limp, has a snaggletooth, and needs nasal medication at times to help him breathe.

Sadly, Winkie’s owners never showed up to collect their pet or pay his bills, so he sat caged up at the veterinarian’s office for years...

Spot, an 11-year-old cat, was dropped off at the Lichfield and Tamworth Branch of Cats Protection in England. The battered senior was extremely skinny, with dirty fur, rotting teeth, and ears so infected they’d swollen twice their normal size. Rescuers could tell this poor senior cat had spent most of his life on the streets.

But this rescue organization — despite being fully run by volunteers — wasn’t about to let this old cat suffer in silence. After sharing Spot’s story around the community, rescuers had raised more than $2,300 to give the cat a full-feline makeover featuring dental work, neutering, vaccinations, a microchip — even plastic surgery.

When the makeover was complete, everybody was amazed by Spot’s sudden transformation from battered stray to beautiful cat.

Look at Spot now! Photos in comments ⬇️

During college I worked at a local animal hospital. One weekend, I stopped by and was told of a kitten that was scheduled to be euthanized. I went to find the kitten but only found what seemed to be an empty cage. Back in the corner of the cage was an orange ball of fur. The kitten was barley moving and seemingly lifeless.

She had been struck in the head by a dog at her previous owners and could no longer walk. The owners choose euthanasia instead of treatment.

I asked the veterinarian to delay the procedure till Monday and I would foster her through the weekend. I wanted her last days to be filled with love and affection.

I spent the weekend taking care of her. She would eat if food was held to her mouth and go to the bathroom if she was held up in her litter box.

Despite all of this, she still could not move. She would simply lay motionless whenever she was laid down.

Sunday night arrived and she still hadn’t walked, I had lost hope. I knew that a life of being helpless and immobile was not fair to her. I laid down with her and said a prayer while she purred next to my cheek.

Monday morning arrived and my family and I began saying our goodbyes but then...

A plea: Adopt, don't shop — give a homeless animal a second chance

"She's the last cat in the cage. I think she's too ugly," my friend said.

That was all it took. I dashed to the pet shop and bought her. And so Strudel, the ugly cat with a beautiful heart, came home with me.

This beautiful soul lived with me for 20 years. And every night for twenty years...

Meet Luna. The young feline was involved in an accident that would have resulted in her death.

Luna arrived at the shelter paralyzed from the waist down with an open spinal wound. They told us, "Her hind legs and tail were immobile and cold, but she could still feel them—our hearts were breaking. Luna's eyes were full of pain and exhaustion.

Luna couldn't defecate on her own and was on the verge of euthanasia...

Rescue isn’t about finding the perfect pet. It’s about giving a forgotten one a chance to feel safe again
