Almost a year ago, Selina Kyle now (Lucy) and Lady mew now (Gidget) left our shelter in Punta de Mita and started a new life in Maryland. None of us knew their journey would eventually take them all the way to Portugal.
Their family moved overseas and brought more of the cats’ belongings than their own. Beds, blankets, trees, toys, everything these girls loved. They told us the cats complained a little on the flight but handled it like champions.
Lucy shocked everyone. She used to be so shy she’d hide for days, but in Portugal she walked into the hotel like she owned it. She settled in instantly and has turned into the sweetest, most affectionate girl.
Gidget did what Gidget always does. She inspected their new home from top to bottom and approved every corner.
Their family told us they can barely sit down without a cat on their lap. Lucy sleeps with them now, loves kisses, and even asks for belly rubs. Gidget wants attention from anyone who will look at her.
And then there’s Casper, the resident cat. They adopted Gidget as his playmate, but Lucy surprised everyone and became glued to him. Now all three nap together, explore together, and live like a tiny sunbathing squad.
Their mom said, “Thank you for bringing the girls into our lives,” but the truth is, families like this remind us why rescue work matters.
This is the kind of ending every shelter animal deserves.
