#24 My Daughter And Our Cat Just A Few Days After We Found Him : He Was Left Starving In The Streets.
#25 This Was The Same Night We Got Her
She was a stray along with her sister that someone found in the neighborhood. Someone posted on Facebook if anyone could pick them up since it was on there property but not their cats. They were covered in fleas and bleeding all over from bites. On top of that it was summer time in Georgia so it was really humid and wet. We picked up both of the sisters and brought them home and this one has never left my side since. They seemed even more happy whenever we got the fleas removed for good. This was 2 years ago and now every night she’ll curl up under my armpit and sleep with me all night.
