Both of my recent cats were second hand rescues...adoptions from NEED.

I adopted the first cat, which had been rescued from feral cat life by one of my clients FIRST.

When my client was sent to a nursing home, the cat was so old that no shelter would take him. I didn't even want a cat at the time...and had to pay apartment management a fee so that I could take him in.

When my first cat, Oscar, passed away, I missed him so terribly I wanted another cat to love...so I adopted Scout.

HE had been rescued by a vet from a kill shelter in New York, and she had an adoption day. I drove three hours to attend the adoption day...and my little boy Scout was there...six years old, and no one else wanted him. He had been a stray in his previous life.

I loved him VERY much. He was my "baby".

Yes, I went to a shelter that was overflowing with kittens, and saw a big, fluffy orange cat who was chirping (not meowing) at everyone who passed by her cage. People were choosing kittens, and my friend commented, nobody’s going to adopt that huge adult cat. The cat had golden eyes, and she chirped at me, then put a paw through the bars. A shelter worker gave me a discount on the adoption fee, and I took her home. I really got a bargain in every way—she was 2 when I adopted her and she lived with me for 14 more years. I couldn’t have found a sweeter cat. 🥹😸

All of my animals have been rescues & strays, the unwanted. I accumulated a lot considering I worked in the field.
My hubby has always supported the idea & loved them. Last year he wanted to buy one and I cringed.

Yes! Of 3 cats one was born in my yard the other 2 are rescues. My dog was rescued from a puppy mill he is extremely loyal and a talker.

Yes. He was malnourished and his fur was unkempt. It took a while for him to trust a stranger, but such a loveable soul he is.

Absolutely. Form the Humane Society. She was a couple of weeks old, or same day she was allowed to leave post surgery. She now rules the house.

Yes he was. His family moved when he was a kitten and left him alone in the empty house. Fortunately a neighbor noticed him.

All our dogs, nine of them over 45 years, have been rescues.

Our dog is a rescue.

I rescued this bundle of love and she gave me 3 pups.

I dont know if you can call it a rescue, my cat just kind of showed up and moved in.

Yes, she was like nine months old when I got her and the kitten mill where she was born had already tried to breed her. Now she sleeps all day while I paint things like this for her

11 of our dogs have been rescued.

All 7 of them lol

Mine was a freebie at a yard sale
