Would you carry a frightened cat to safety even if it scratched you?

Twenty-one years ago, when I was 15-years-old, I picked up the local newspaper when I got in from school and I saw an advert that read "Three ugly kittens in need of good homes." Can anyone ignore that? Certainly not!

So the phone was picked up, number dialed, and me pretending to be my mother. I gave my mother's name, date of birth, etc, etc, and bagged a time and day to go see these ugly kittens...

One September, I lost my best friend, Tiggy, to chronic renal failure. He died 10 days before his 20th birthday. I was devastated. This cat had grown up with my son and had comforted me as he left home for college and I became an empty-nester. I knew when Tiggy passed away that I would get another cat, but I needed to grieve first.

I soon found myself on the internet looking at pet adoption sites to see who had orange tabby cats available for adoption. I began following one large litter of them at one shelter. I believe there were six!

One by one, they were adopted, until there was one left. This was in late November. I called to inquire about Pippin. Yes, he was still there and would be at our local adoption fair that Friday night.

Not really certain if I was truly ready to bring a new cat home, I went out there to visit him.

If a stray dog sat quietly beside you would you listen to what they needed?

Would you stop your day to save a kitten stuck under a car?

Apparently he had been breaking into my house for some time. Slipping through the cat door, he’d been eating my cat’s food while I was at work. An aging tuxedoed tom, he was obviously homeless and starving, covered with infected sores and bald patches.

If you saw a dog shivering behind a fence would you check on them?

I truly believe that I met and adopted Riley through the hand of God. My beloved cat Sam succumbed to feline leukemia in 2010. I was emotionally shattered. But soon I knew I needed another cat in my life, so I began scouring the internet. I saw one shelter cat that looked promising, but when I went to see her, she kept running away and hiding from the staff.

After a few minutes of this, I thought she may not have been the best choice, so I started to leave the shelter, which had probably half a dozen different aisles to the door. I was walking down one aisle when something caught my eye. Right there, to my left at eye level, was a very handsome cat on a perch. I reached out to pet him...

Would you slow down traffic to help a cat trapped in the road?

If a dog looked at you like you were their last hope would you walk away?

Would you cross the street to comfort a scared stray cat?

Dear Dolly is a darling little one-eyed kitten that found her way to rescue safety because she was born into a colony that fortunately had a TNR caretaker. Too many cats and kittens have no caretakers or support systems, and they can suffer greatly with injuries, illness, and harm. Dolly was born under a shed near a busy traffic intersection and although found dirty, her mama cat did what she could to put her in a safer place. Dolly was a very tiny kitten when she was found and brought to The Cat House on the Kings with her eye glued shut with infection.

Although every effort was made with treatment to save her eye, it was determined that she would heal and grow better with the eye being removed...
