After I consider Leia in our care, I take into consideration how she was discovered outdoor simply 6 months in the past, and now she has foam pet stairs to assist her climb into her heated mattress.
I take into consideration how she was by some means surviving on the streets along with her imaginative and prescient points, however now if her foster mother strikes furnishings misplaced, Leia meows at her till she fixes it.
I take into consideration the whiteboard in her foster’s workplace, the place she’s written down Leia’s day by day schedule, together with 3+ meals, snack instances, day by day treatment, and a weight monitoring chart.
Leia’s a bit outdated girl with an enormous persona — she has a scratchy little meow and lets her opinion be recognized. I like that she will get to really feel protected now. She’s nonetheless a kitten at coronary heart, and now that her arthritis treatment has helped her mobility enhance, she loves leaping and enjoying in crinkly brown packaging paper.

We now have a fantastic, inventive group of individuals behind Cat City, so we’re fairly often capable of finding some resolution for the primary two issues.
But when we don’t have the funds to cowl their care, it doesn’t matter how laborious we work or how inventive we’re — we merely wouldn’t have the ability to assist them.
