Somehow, no matter how many rescue stories we read, we never get tired of them. Reading about every cat that gets rescued and finds a forever home is like a little ray of sunshine in our day, reminding us of the kindness of humanity and giving us a little hope. It can be heartbreaking and heartwarming stories like the kitten that was found 'in rough shape' and made a huge transformation after getting rescued. It can be beautiful stories about bravery like the one about the kitten that was abandoned in the cold yelling for help until a man rescues it. Or it can be stories that are almost funny like the one about the woman who rescued a kitten that was set to be euthanized only for the kitten to become an "absolute terror". 

Knowing that these cats found their forever homes brings us joy, because we know that however they may feel now, they are certainly happier now than when they were outside alone. And that's certainly true for this cat.

    Cat - PAWSChicago PAWS CHICAGO @PAWSChicago Our team found Tom, sick and alone, and eating rat poison. He'd been living as a stray all 5 years of his life so far, and well...it shows. His survival skills must have been to make friends with every creature he met, because this cat doesn't have a mean bone in his body! 1/4 2:14 AM - Dec 31, 2022 2.9M Views 2,895 Retweets 484 Quote Tweets 42.3K Likes O wwww

    Quite frankly, with this kind of behavior - eating poison and attempting to make friends with people - we are honestly surprised that this precious cat survived as long as it did. But we're so glad that he did. Seeing him in that second picture, happy and content, getting petted by kind humans who care about him, makes us so dang happy.

    Font - PAWSChicago PAWS CHICAGO @PAWSChicago 2/4 He was, however, in desperate need of medical attention. And the odds were seriously stacked against him. But Tom's faith in our medical staff never faltered, because he took any opportunity to ham it up for a little extra love and attention! 2:14 AM - Dec 31, 2022 142.4K Views 74 Retweets 5,191 Likes

    Cat - PAWSChicago PAWS CHICAGO @PAWSChicago 3/4 Now, we're thrilled to say he's ready for a home! Tom is FIV+ and FeLV+ which means he's looking for a cat-free home, or fellow FIV/FeLV+ cat home, and our Adoption Team will be happy to tell you all about what that looks like. 2:14 AM - Dec 31, 2022 169.2K Views 211 Retweets 23 Quote Tweets 5,741 Likes

    We hope that this sweetheart finds the loving and warm forever home that he deserves and that he continues to live a long and happy life. And thank you, of course, to PAWSChicago for taking care of him and nursing him back to health.
