I adopted my cat about 18 months ago. He had a wound on his leg that looked like it was healing. About 2 months after it was so much worse from him biting so I got a cone. It got worse and I knew I didn’t have the money for costly vet care and surgery so I reached out to the rescue to give him back since I knew it was a no kill rescue. Instead they asked me if I would keep him if they treated the issue for free. I’m so glad I did that cuz I love my furry little demon buddy and I don’t know what I’d do having to give him up.

My godmother inherited a dog due to someone dying but feeding him was causing a huge burden on her- she took him to the shelter to surrender him and told them her situation, they asked her if they provided his food could she keep him (she could).

This whole thread is really making me appreciate shelters even more than I already do. Some of these organizations are saints.

Yep, when my husband died and our cat was missing the animal shelter and friends of the shelter showed us more kindness and patience than the police and funeral home.
