🐾❤️ SIX MONTHS AGO TODAY… WE SAVED BILLY. TODAY, HE WENT HOME. ❤️🐾
Some rescue stories just hit a little differently. And Billy's is one of them. 🥹
For MONTHS, I tried to trap this handsome orange boy. Finally, on April 12th, we got him off the streets.
The original plan was simple. Trap, neuter, and return him to the only life he had ever known.
But Billy had a huge wound on his neck that needed time to heal. So instead of returning him, I kept him for two weeks while he recovered.
And boy, am I glad I did. ❤️
Because underneath that tough exterior was the BIGGEST lover. A boy who wanted nothing more than affection, attention, and someone to love him.
Then we found out Billy was FIV positive.
I knew finding him a forever home might be difficult. Honestly, I had accepted that Billy would probably spend the rest of his life with us. And that was okay. He was loved, he was safe, and he would ALWAYS have a home here.
I wasn't expecting any miracles.
But sometimes, the right people come along when you least expect them.
While at the vet for another foster's recheck, I happened to be talking with a vet tech. She mentioned that her coworker had been looking for an orange kitty.
And the rest is history. ❤️
Today, October 12th, exactly SIX MONTHS after we rescued Billy, I personally took him to his forever home.
He walked right in, started exploring, and happily accepted love from his new family. 🥹
No more living on the streets. No more fighting to survive. No more wondering where he belongs.
Billy, you were never just another cat to us. You were worth every minute spent trying to trap you, every vet visit, and every bit of love we poured into you.
Happy six-month rescue anniversary, sweet boy.
MY FOREVER STARTS TODAY. 🏡❤️🐾
And to Billy's new family, thank you for seeing the amazing boy we have loved for the last six months.
This is why we do what we do. ❤️
