Luce the lucky orange cat survives an eMEOWtional rescue on the Amalfi coast, gets a first class ticket to her furrever home: 'Here's to a chance at life'

Life sometimes gives us obvious opportunities to be a good person. And for animal lovers who discover a kitty in need on the side of the road, nothing else matters more than helping a cat on the brink of the Rainbow Bridge. 

For Tatyana, a cat lover and world traveler, she and her husband's vacation on the Amalfi coast of Italy was put on the back burner when they discovered a female cat in desperate need of hooman intervention. Luce the cat was found sleeping on a bench outside Tatyana's Tuscan-style hotel, fighting for her life with each laborious meow. She was nearly missing an ear, had half a tail, a terrible infection, and Tatyana suspected she might even be pregnant. Despite her health issues, Luce was the sweetest cat–coming when she was called, attempting to meow through the pain, and reaching out to the hoomans for a helping hand. 

Lucky for Luce, Tatyana was here to rescue her.
