Remy B. Nobody Loved Him For 6 Years, Until We Did
M Adams 5 years ago
I love the ear! My cat was rescued from a dumpster as a kitten. Someone shot him and left him for dead. But the bullet only grazed his head and went through the ear. So I love his little janky ear and everything about him.

My Wife And I Rescued This Sweet Little Girl Last July. This Is Her Now
Bored Panda contacted Louise Lee, the media officer at the non-profit Blue Cross For Pets organization, which specializes in animal adoption in the United Kingdom. We asked Louise if more people are willing to take the “adopt, don’t shop” approach these days. Luckily, it seems so. “We rehomed over 9,000 pets last year, which has increased significantly since a decade ago.”
The stigma about rescued cats is slowly fading away. “Such misperceptions that these pets were all given up because of behavior and that they're 'broken' are gradually changing, and people understand pets are handed over for all sorts of reasons,” explained Louise.

It's Almost A Year Since My Friend Brought Home A Rescue Kitten, So She Decided To Recreate The First Picture She Took Of Him
Spikey Bunny 5 years ago
That's how I got my Mason... Unfortunately he succumbed to the same deadly heart murmurs that affect many Main Coons and died because something like a Stroke Shower. If you ever have a MC be prepared to have a cardiologist in your cat's life... and the added expense. I didn't believe the hype and absolutely regret my mistakes for him. Mason was well the best cat/dog I've ever had.

My Sweet Boy Keller. I Would Die For Him

Cool. 'little' guy that owns the house I presume. That's the way life is supposed to be. Thanks for adopting your buddy. I know , I adopted a dog. - he adopted me. Enough said ( lol) Be safe all. So glad we have a pet or more.
Louise said that “we’re working hard not only to change the perception of pets in rescue” but also to help people who can’t cope with their pet. “We seek to take the 'shame' away from people who are struggling to cope with their pet and decide to rehome or their circumstances change.” As a result, the adoption assistance team at Blue Cross never judges anyone.
But the pet adoption expert warns that it’s important to get the whole family on board when it comes to adopting an animal. “Make sure everyone in a family wants a pet and understands their responsibilities, the time needed, and financial commitment before getting a pet.” Even if taking in a pet will surely have an effect on your lifestyle, it really pays off seeing your kitty happy.

yxkb 5 years ago
AAbsolutly agree - the amount of necessary food, toys , medical costs and duties which will add when you have two cats is so little compared the joy of having two cats. If they are friends before addopting they will remain the best companion to each other. It is so sad when that kind of pairs will be separated.

Looks like our Ace. His mother was frightened away and we raised him and his brothers from a week or two old. One of his brothers didn't make it either.

My oldest cat was thrown in a garbage bag when she was 2 months old. Before that her little tail had been slammed in a door. She has a tiny break in it to this day. How can people literally just throw cats away? There are no words. (In case anyone reads this, she is 9 years old now and is a lovable diva! She insists on being carried to her food then won't eat til you pet her haha).

I love these monthly updates on Cats and Dogs that have bee adopted, saved from the brink. Just helps the agencies involved in rescue to encourage people to adopt. Brilliant!

I want to send out LOVE to my fellow cat adopters and rescuers. Extra special thanks to those who rescue our feline friends from horrific situations and nurture them back to health. You are AMAZING! All pets deserve loving care...
