A few days ago, a fellow rescuer reached out to us about an emaciated, friendly cat who was struggling to survive on the streets of Hazelwood.
And while we have a definite soft spot for half-bald, ridiculously skinny cats, we also knew the reality: we had absolutely no foster space.
So we reached out to Christa from Kitty Queen Cat Rescue who has one of the biggest and most generous hearts in rescue, and asked if she could take this little girl in. She said yes.
So, along with two other rescuers, we headed out to Hazelwood and spent time combing the streets looking for her. But she was nowhere to be found.
We searched and searched, but there was no sign of her.
Eventually, we had to walk away wondering if she had been too sick and died somewhere alone. Then, two days later, we received a screenshot. There she was. At Humane Animal Rescue.
We reached out to Shannon at Humane Animal Rescue and explained the situation. Shannon was very kind and worked with us so we could pick her up and bring her to Kitty Queen.
Today, we transported her.
Her name is Beauty.
Beauty is only about a year old and weighs just 4.5 pounds. She is fully grown, but life on the streets has taken a toll on her. She has been through the wringer!!
But despite everything, Beauty is sweet. She is friendly. She is happy to be safe.
This is what rescue looks like. Sometimes it takes several people, several organizations, and a whole lot of persistence to get one tiny, half-bald, 4.5-pound cat to where she is supposed to be. ❤️
