"I rescued the tattooed cartel cat that was living in a Mexican prison"
This is my baby, Kilo. In March 2023 I saw on the news and social media that a Sphynx cat had been found living inside of a Mexican prison… When I heard about him, I just knew I should at least try to adopt him… I flew to El Paso the day after I read about him, and met with some officials in Juarez to plead my case. I explained my experience with and love for the breed and even wrote a letter to the President of Chihuahua promising to care for and love him better than anyone else could. And somehow it worked!
When I met him he was absolutely filthy and totally emaciated. He had eye mucus buildup from infection, skin sores, and open wounds on his legs and paws… He bonded with my other cat so well and is warming up every day to my dog. It was a match made in heaven. Apparently I beat out 10,000 other applicants which feels like a sign from above that he was supposed to be a part of my family."

"From rough Dubai streets to the English countryside"
"Our new fur baby arrived yesterday from Dubai! She was found by rescuers dumped by previous pet owners as a 3 month old kitten.
I went to Dubai for a business trip in December and was really heartbroken about the state of stray cats in the city (and even the whole of UAE). I just needed to adopt one. Thankfully a few charities help with the process of relocation including all vet needs, paperwork, and flights. After a month of waiting, Roza finally arrived yesterday along with 17 other cats who found their furever homes in the UK!
She's settling in very well and we are managing slow introductions with our two other cats"

"Marco, our newly adopted cat"
"We recently adopted Marco, he's been with us for about 5 weeks. He's 8 years old and had been with the shelter for a few months. We were told he didn't look for attention, so thought he wouldn't be overly affectionate.
After a few weeks of hiding under the bed in the spare room, some patience and a lot of dreamies, he has really come out of his shell. To our surprise, he is actually really affectionate, always coming for head strokes and nuzzling us, so glad he is part of our family"
