#1 My Boy Yuzu Was A Stray Found By A Friend Of Mine With The Worst Case Of Scabies We've Ever Seen (We're All Vet Students).

Luckily, more and more of us are willing to take on this risk and become life-saving heroes. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has estimated that every year, a staggering 3.2 million animal shelter inhabitants find new homes. 1.6 million of them are fur babies. The most important part is that "pet euthanasia rates have plummeted in big American cities in recent years, falling more than 75 percent since 2009." The numbers show that we are on the right track to giving a second chance at life to those who truly need it.
#2 This Is Barley! My Son And I Found Her By The Road. She Had Been Abandoned. So Thin... Covered In Fleas. The Last Photo Was 3 Months After We Found Her. She's Simply The Sweetest Little Cat Ever
The very first encounter with abandoned cats can be truly heartbreaking. Reddit member, snerdie, claims that they "found Melvin in a trash heap", while a member named saludete found Kira dying from starvation in a cow farm. ASPCA’s National Rehoming Survey shows that pet behavior and health problems are among the most common reasons why owners decide to leave their pets.
Adoption success stories prove that any adorable cat can be tamed again. In addition, the physical and emotional transformation of these cats can take your breath away. Take a look at Cousteau, a newly crowned little prince from Paris, not unlike the one from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's famous book "The Little Prince".
Some cute cats may come with unexpected surprises. A cat named Trojan gifted her parents not one but four baby kittens and made a solid contribution to the family gang. After the street cats are rescued and placed in loving homes, the change is almost instant. Many believe that adopting from a cat shelter is one of the best decisions of their life.
Will you be the next hero to save a lonely feline soul waiting for you out there? The answer is meow.
