Judy, a purebred pointer, was the mascot of several ships in the Pacific, and was captured by the Japanese in 1942 and taken to a prison camp. There she met Aircraftsman Frank Williams, who shared his small portion of rice with her.
Judy raised morale in the POW camp, and also barked when poisonous snakes, crocodiles or even tigers approached the prisoners. When the prisoners were shipped back to Singapore, she was smuggled out in a rice sack, never whimpering or betraying her presence to the guards.
The next day, that ship was torpedoed. Williams pushed Judy out of a porthole in an attempt to save her life, even though there was a 15-foot drop to the sea. He made his own escape from the ship, but was then recaptured and sent to a new POW camp.
He didn't know if Judy had survived, but soon he began hearing stories about a dog helping drowning men reach pieces of debris after the shipwreck. And when Williams arrived at the new camp, he said: "I couldn’t believe my eyes! As I walked through the gate, a scraggly dog hit me square between the shoulders and knocked me over. I’d never been so glad to see the old girl!"
They spent a year together at that camp in Sumatra. "Judy saved my life in so many ways," said Williams. "But the greatest of all was giving me a reason to live. All I had to do was look into those weary, bloodshot eyes and ask myself: 'What would happen to her if I died?' I had to keep going."
Once hostilities ceased, Judy was then smuggled aboard a troopship heading back to Liverpool. In England, she was awarded the Dickin Medal (the "Victoria Cross" for animals) in May 1946. Her citation reads: "For magnificent courage and endurance in Japanese prison camps, which helped to maintain morale among her fellow prisoners, and also for saving many lives through her intelligence and watchfulness".
At the same time, Frank Williams was awarded the PDSA's White Cross of St. Giles for his devotion to Judy. Frank and Judy spent a year after the war visiting the relatives of English POWs who had not survived, and Frank said that Judy "always provided a comforting presence to the families."
When Judy finally died at the age of 13, Frank spent two months building a granite and marble memorial in her memory, which included a plaque describing her life story.

Dear cat owners,

Most declawing veterinarians don't want you to see this post.
Why? Because they make easy and good money barbarically amputating your beloved cat's toe bones and claws like the ones in the photo. (Scalpel declaw)

The facts are that declawing is inhumane, cruel, and ALWAYS causes negative issues for your cat's long term health and well being.
There are credible and recent peer reviewed studies that prove this.

If you really love your cat and want what's best for them, please take the humane path and use the easy, humane alternatives to declawing like sturdy scratching posts, scratching pads, nail trims, deterrents like double sided tape and Feliway, Soft Paws, etc.

Below is the info that declawing vets do NOT want you to read. Also, a study showed that declawing causes chronic stress.
Remember, cats are masters at hiding their pain and suffering so they silently suffer for the rest of their lives from walking on those 10-18 amputation sites.

Here's everything you need to know about declawing. https://citythekitty.org/declawing-facts-vs-myths-humane-options/

If your vet declaws cats, please ask them to honor their veterinary oath and stop. If they won't then it's best you take your pets to ethical and humane vets who put the welfare of ALL animals over profits.
Send us an email if you go to or work at an AAHA Accredited Animal hospital that declaws cats. We will keep your info anonymous. [email protected]

Please go to citythekitty.org and sign all our petitions. No need to donate any money when you sign them since the money goes to change. org.

Fly High, Nikko and your friend.

Spoke to Dr Anna this morning and it wasn’t good news. It appeared as though Nikko has Panluke. We helped him get his wings this morning as he was suffering too much. And the tuxedo cat that we posted the other day with Nikko was found deceased this morning as well. Panluke is a very nasty illness that kills so many cats. We lost close to 20 at one location last year. It’s a very hard day, please keep these babies in your thoughts and prayers. This is the side of cat rescue that crushes your soul. 😿

Well done, David! 👏

Johnny Depp and Rod Stewart collaborated at a private benefit concert, raising $300,000 for Celia Hammond’s cat and kitten rescue. The two legends performed to support the British 1960s supermodel’s Animal Trust, with renditions of Rod's hits like "Maggi May," "Forever Young," and "First Cut is the Deepest." At 81, Celia Hammond founded the charity in 1986 to care for cats and kittens and help control the pet population with humane neutering practices.

My dear human, I see you crying, because it's time for me to leave.
Please don't cry.
I want to explain some things to you.
You're sad that I'm gone, but I'm glad to have met you.
How many dogs like me d-i-e every day without having met someone special like you?.
I know you are saddened by my departure, but I had to leave now.
I want to ask you not to blame yourself.
I heard you sobbing that you should have done something more for me. Don't say that, you've done a lot for me!
Without you, I would have known nothing of the beauty I carry with me today.
You must know that we animals live intensely in the present. Our lives begin when we know love, the same love you gave me, my wingless angel.
Please don't cry anymore. I leave happy.
I remember the name you gave me, the warmth of your house which at that time became mine. I hear the sound of his voice talking to me, even if I don't always understand what he is saying to me.
I carry in my heart every caress you gave me.
Wash your face and start smiling. There are many like me waiting for someone like you.
Please give them what you gave me, they need it like I needed you. ❤️
If dogs can talk... 😭😭😭😭💔

POETIC REST IN PEACE— According to National Geographic, they filmed an Anglerfish for the first time in broad daylight and near the surface. It was an abyssal anglerfish, it was the second time that one had been captured on camera and the first time that it was recorded near the surface, this situation had marine life specialists baffled, it happened near the coast of Tenerife, Spain. In the end the fish died and will be studied by experts But the thing about the fish rising to the surface full of light to die after living in the darkness of the depths is perhaps the most poetic image possible that could occur to nature.

She saw the light 🖤

People that call rehabs and are concerned wether or not they should bring the found fawn in can look at this. The very first question is look at the ears. Are they straight? Or are they crumpled?
If straight , was the deer laying down or standing up?
This year every deer we have taken in has looked like this. The ears are crumpled and the deer was standing up and crying.
The crumpled ear tips mean that the fawn is dehydrated and mom is gone.
The baby needs help!!!
🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
If you are EVER in question about wether or not you need to help the baby , this is the answer.
If you find one with these crumpled ears , get that baby help!
We always advise if you get the fawn and can’t get it to a rehabilitation facility right away, NEVER feed the fawn ANYTHING but unflavored pedialyte.
