We rescued a cat last year, very cute longhaired tortoiseshell. My dad was showing pics to his colleagues and they were discussing what breed she could be, and he jokes "Oh, it's a koferman" Them: "Oh, must be very exotic, never heard of it before. Where did it come from?" Him: ".....guys, it literally came from a garbage can" (kofa=garbage can in our language).

We adopted this pupper today ^^ PUPPERRR-5...c14ba9.jpg

As someone who has rescued many cats and works with local charities to chip check, trap, rescue, re-home and reunite cats, I really cannot stress the importance of looking in shelters and rescues for a fur baby. It is so important the shelters have frequently empty cages to give these kitties a temporary safe place until a foster home can be found. It's so heartwarming to see many more people going to rescues and charities instead of feeding the awful breeding industry. One of the cats who chose me was left breeding until she was 8 years old and has had upwards of twenty litters in her life and each kitten was sold for £60. It's so sad.

Thank you. This was needed this morning.

I love these!

So much love in everyone's eyes , rescued and rescued, we save ourselves too, these animals save us all.

Both my dogs are rescues- one I found dumped by the freeway on-ramp (I found her"owner" who said that I could keep her...10 years of bliss and counting!) the other was abandoned in a foreclosure- she and Daisy met and fell in love at the dog park- her foster mom was so happy that she was getting a great forever home. We love love love our "dogters" - they're super snugglebums

I adopted a 14 year old cat surrendered from a deceased estate. She was adorable. Sadly I had to have her put to sleep as she had a stroke and could no longer walk or sit up straight. I always think she is now with her original owner sitting on their lap which she loved to do.

I am proud to say I have never purchased a single pet. They all found me! I say that because they truly did, every one of them walked up to my door or in my yard or followed me home from somewhere.

Loved these ❤️ Thanks to all who adopted 🙏🏻

Took my Richard the cat off street 11 years ago. Best decision in my life. 86730117_1...a2e867.jpg

Wife and I went in to adopt 1 kitten, but these 2 fuzzbots are siblings, and I just couldn't separate them. Taco and Shiva, they are much larger now, and still sleep on me like this... 13938272_1...12d8eb.jpg
