Meet Coop, A Cat Abandoned By His Owners Who Found His New Loving Family
Julia Davis moved into a new home in Birmingham, Alabama, and discovered that there was a cat living in the garden chicken coop. It turned out that the cat belonged to the previous owners, who had left it behind when they moved out. She decided to take care of the feline and provide him with necessary vet care, despite already having a cat and dog of her own. With the help of the community on social media, she named him Coop, inspired by the chicken coop he lived in. Later, another feral cat named Roof came along, who was often seen hanging around Coop’s wooden house.
The story doesn’t end there, as Julia found two baby kittens hiding under the chicken coop, one of whom was adopted by her parents and named Sadie, while the other, CJ (Coop Jr.), stayed with Julia and they both are now grown-up cats. This experience inspired woman to start a foster home, called ‘Coop Kitties’, for rescue cats and kittens, and she now helps many of them find loving families. Initially, she started a GoFundMe page to pay for Coop’s vet bills, but now all the donations help her take care of other rescue cats and give them a second chance at life.

I can totally understand that there are situations where you can't keep your pets and have to rehome them. But just leaving them behind or abandoning them somewhere is something I'll never be able to understand. That's just cruel. At least give them to a pet shelter.

When I moved into my house 7 years ago, I found the previous owner left a stray, who was pregnant as well. I did what I could, rehomed momma and 2 babies, and kept one baby for myself. It's a shame there are such heartless people out there.

I could no more leave my animals behind than my husband! In fact, he knows they’d be first! 😂

There was tornado weather and the first thing I did was figure out how I was going to get 2 guinea pigs and a dog (who is afraid of basements) in the basement. I've never made a plan before I had pets.
