Adoption Brings Sick And Lonely Cats’ To Dreams Of A Forever Home To Life
More than 3 million cats enter animal shelters and rescues each year. According to the ASPCA, 1.6 million of these cats found their permanent homes. So, one might argue that shelter and rescue workers are the fairy godparents who help cats realize their goals.
The wonderful trip to home is not simple for some felines. Many cats end up at shelters because they are sick, wounded, or terrified. Some people have never experienced what it’s like to be at home, while others have lost it. Whatever their backstory, many cats find their happy ending through adoption owing to the tireless efforts of cat lovers.
Cat parents have shared their experiences with rescue and adoption on social media, and the images are really stunning!
