A dog who never gets to run free is not living a life it is serving a sentence.

I had to send my long haul trucking buddy Thomas over the Rainbow Bridge in August of 2014 due to bladder stone complications, after he fought for two weeks for his life. I had been an emotional wreck since, but I was not sure I was ready for another feline in my life, either.

A job transfer moved me to Phoenix two months after losing him, and I would occasionally go the shelters to “get catted” but none were a real match for me.

On January 31, 2015, I went to the shelter with my best friend and visited with three cats. Then she said, “I think you should take a look at this one.”

While on the internet one day, I found an ad for a girl giving away kittens for free. I went to investigate.

This little kitten had two siblings, both fluffy and adorable and spoken for. She, on the other hand, walked and wobbled funny and was matted and pathetic-looking. And, of course, when I sat down and held my hand out, she came right to me, mewled, curled up in my hand, and tried to purr. I was told if I wanted her I could just take her. The mother cat had stopped feeding them and she couldn't afford food. So I tucked her into the pocket of my hoodie and brought the poor thing home.

It didn't take me long to get her cleaned up and to discover that she had ear mites, fleas and worms...

I catch and release and feed the strays and feral cats in my neighborhood.

One evening as I was getting ready to feed them, I noticed Scar. He was a big fluffy kitty whose eyes were dilated and looked to be larger than normal. As I watched him he seemed okay but I could feel in my belly that something was wrong.

I had to do something about it...

We had closed the doors due to a shortage of funds, carers and having almost 270 cats in care. Then I received a call from my vets.

A mumma cat had been found in someone’s yard with her little ones, and upon no neighbours claiming her, she was taken to a local vet, my vet. Beth, the vet nurse, texted me, “She is messed up so bad,” so I drove over there immediately.

I have struggled all day to write this post as the emotions that hit me over the next hour were just all too much. I went out back to meet mumma cat and her little ones before Beth took me to show me an x-ray. This poor sweet girl’s spine was totally severed. None of us had seen anything like it, and it wasn’t a fresh injury as she had awful sores on her legs and feet from dragging herself around trying to tend to her little family. She was incredibly thin, her gums were pure white, she was dehydrated and giving her all to save her babies.

I have seen a lot of horrible things in all my years of rescue, but this mum just broke my heart. She was simply amazing, fighting to keep going despite her spine being snapped in two pieces and she would have been in so much pain, but she kept going and going to save her babies. The sores were not fresh, so she had been like this probably since the babies were born.

I was picturing her in my head, crawling around on her front half searching for food and water, and going back and forth to her babies each day to keep them safe and make sure she was back to feed them and keep them warm. This just made me realise why I do what I do, and I knew even though I really should not take this family on I HAD to, I owed this mumma to take over and make sure these babies thrived and got to loving homes.

I sat with her for a while until the vets were ready to close for the day and watched her babies suckle as mumma purred. Tears filled my eyes knowing this would be the last time for this, as sadly mum’s spine was not able to be repaired and she was on her last legs having done so much for her little family. She had nothing left to give.
I stayed with her until the very end, holding her as she crossed the Rainbow Bridge, whispering to her...
