On November 8th I was tagged in a Facebook post asking if I would donate a compassion groom to a dumped cat found in a park. I was on the way to my daughters birthday party but I had to respond. I noticed through the picture this cat had some matting and so I decided why not. Helping is what I do after all.
I reached out to the amazing good Samaritan en route to her birthday. A kind woman who had saved him after another man walking his dog saw him being thrown out of a car. She explained to me the pictures were misleading and he was covered in thick matting. As a pet stylist of 29 years I hear this often as most people think matted pets are far worse then they really are. I figured it was no big deal boy was I was wrong!
I had her bring him to the sanctuary the following day (Sunday) and figured I'd call Monday morning and beg our good friends over at Midway Animal Hospital Inc. to get him in for a well check and rabies vaccine so I could safely groom him. Almost immediately after Judy his savior dropped him off my volunteers called to inform me of 2 things. First he was huge and Secondly he was so matted he could barely move. He was so matted in fact he couldn't even have a bowel movement because that entire area was matted shut! I started to worry maybe I had bit off more than I could chew.
Shelbie called Midway Monday morning and thankfully they squeezed him in for his check up and rabies vaccine. I can't thank them enough for always going above and beyond on short notice for our animals.
After a full day of grooming as my last client went home I finally got to see this cat and at first glance my heart broke.
To say he was in bad shape was an understatement. Covered in thick matting and feces I smelled him long before I even saw him. As I placed him on a beach towel on my grooming table I could feel the tears welling up. I kept reminding myself crying isn't going to help and I was going to fix this! About 2 minutes into his groom I started crying

Check out Boo with his new pet parent! Since adopting Boo they have been inseparable! These are the forever stories we strive for as animal rescuers!
Little Boos mom was abandoned at a property alongside her kittens. We got them the vet care they all needed and let them decompress and learn what it means to be loved!
It was love at first sight for these 2 and we couldn't be more thrilled!
Did you know sharing your life with a cat has so many amazing benefits? Here are just a few:
Stress relief
Cats can help reduce stress and improve your mood. Just 15 to 30 minutes of quality time with a cat can calm your nerves.
Companionship
Cats can provide quiet support and a sense of never being alone. They can greet you when you come home and enjoy being pet and cuddled.
Low maintenance
Cats are low maintenance compared to dogs, as they don't need to be walked or let outside to use the bathroom. They are happy to use a litter box and entertain themselves with toys or scratching posts.
Better sleep quality
Sleeping with a cat can improve your sleep quality. Some cat owners prefer to sleep with their cats than partners because they sleep better.
Improved immune system
Studies have shown that cat owners tend to have better immune systems and recover faster than non-cat owners.
Helps kids develop empathy
Growing up with a cat can help children learn about feelings and develop empathy.
Prevents allergies
A 2002 study found that infant exposure to multiple pets, including cats, can help prevent pet allergies and sensitivities to common allergens.
We have so many phenomenal cats and kittens waiting for their forever homes! You can see an updated list of our adoptable animals at petfinder.com or our website operationsaves.com.

Here is the outcome: Congratulations to Top Flight Kennels PayPal, the winning recipient. Please contact us to schedule a convenient day to claim your prize.
It's amazing what 2 days of decompressing, love, and lots of treats can do for a defeated dog. Katrina and Jackie worked with these amazing gals tonight and as you can see they are doing amazing!
They are ready for foster homes this week but we prefer these girls to stay together. Maude is quite bonded to Mavis and we are learning they do so much better together ❤️.

In the coming weeks they will need to be spayed, get caught up on vaccines. And heartworm checks. If you would like to donate towards their care you can do so at out paypal. Paypal.me/operationsaves Or Venmo-@operationsaves
As a volunteer based rescue every penny donated goes directly back into saving animals. We couldn't save the lives we do without the generosity of our community and for that we say thank you. 🥹
