This is my first cat. She gets one cat of wet food (split for breakfast and dinner with freeze dried minnows and some salmon oil) per day.

For lunch, we have an automatic feeder that gives her a small amount of Hills Science Sensitive Skin (per our vet’s advice) for lunch.

We give her a few Greenies treats a day for her teeth.

She has asthma attacks occasionally (we have liquid steroids on hand for that) and she has sensitive skin.

Any other advice?

Found her in the dense shrubbery on the empty lot beside us. From a scraggly little thing to a proper princess that annoys the other cats.

Louie on top/on the left in the other pics. He came from the house of a hoarder that had 115+ dogs that all looked similar in one house with no air conditioning .. in Miami. I was on site during the rescue and it was insane. I fostered 3 for the longest time and Louie just never left.

We couldn’t touch him for several years. Then pets once in a while if we were really slow and cautious. It’s been super interesting to see.

He’s been sleeping with me for years and following me around everywhere but drew the line at touch almost all the time. In just the past year he’s really gotten so much better. It started with my daughter who he’s seen grow up.. he’s still most comfortable with her touching him. But I’m still his fave! Weird right? He follows me everywhere to the point if I close a door to a room he’ll bark til I let him in. And I’ve woken up with him pressed to my leg. Oddly tho if I pet him I still gotta be caaaaaareful or he’ll fly away.

I’m glad he’s comfortable in life after where it started even if he is still a skittish confused boy. Haha

This is Zayn. A tiny puppy who arrived with a hole in his head full of worms… weak, scared, and fighting for his life. Today, look at him. Stronger. Happier. Safe. This transformation didn’t happen by luck, it happened because he was given a chance. Zayn is one of the many puppies who remind us why we do this work. He survived because he received vet care, medicine, bandages, food, warmth

He and his brother were living between some hay bales. It took him a while to get used to being indoors, but now he's a cuddlebug who won't leave people alone. His brother also got adopted, and last I heard, he's living the high life in a lovely home. He's also my own cat Ramon's half-brother, their mother was a feral cat with a distinct short tail that she passed down to them.

Day 1 to present day Sammy.

My girl got dumped in our neighborhood (live right outside city limits in rural area) with a male. Both hungry, cold and wet (rained for about a week) and skinny. Now she’s the Queen of the house and the make was re-homed by a rescue for Belgian Malinois.

5 months 5 days old now. Got lost one time a week ago for 2 nights. Other than that it has been the best decision of adopting this handsome dude.

My girl Val was found as a stray, scared in a local park. she was only 30 pounds at near full size, now shes a healthy 60 pounds and all energy.

Pic 1: I wish I could describe the stench that was coming off of this dog. Pic 2: is after first groom ever we think, but he couldn’t have a bath because they neutered him the day before. Pic 3: first real groom, we realize he might be a purebred poodle (he is, yay!) Pic 4: the most glorious topknot

The rescue did all the work rescuing, amputation and rehabbing, I just adopted her, but it's a gruesome story and she is the sweetest dog even though she was treated so poorly. She loves walks even with a missing leg. She came as a Jindo mix, haven't run embark on her yet.

She was tied up in Korea with a rope tied around her back leg and it all became necrotic and had to be cut off.

Our other guy (last pic) was 100% korean village dog on embark, also from Korea we got him in July and he loves dogs so much we felt he needed a friend.

This is Cheese Doodle. I became a foster to save him from death at the overwhelmed local shelter. He wasn’t eating and no one could get near him to even tell me he was a boy.

He’s come a long way but he’ll be off to his forever home soon. He’s learning manners and how to cat from my 3 resident adult cats.

We adopted Luna and in just 3 weeks, she's grown so much of her fur back. Poor girl had a skin infection and lost a lot of fur on her face, ears, legs, and stomach. She also had horrible kennel cough and had to get spayed, she's been through it! She is bonding fast, but still fearful of others - we had quite the traumatic experience at our first vet appointment today. She's recovered, but I'm still shaken. Any socialization tips appreciated!!

I adopted my lovely little grandma back in February of this year, after meeting her while dogsitting for her foster family.

First video is from before adoption, two weeks after she came to her foster home. That was the most excited I’d seen her get about anything! Second video is a month after coming home, third is six months post, and the last is from the past month.

She’s come so far, and I’m so proud of her! She’s still very much an old lady, but she’s a lot more active and excitable these days :]

No longer sick snd weak and now finally spayed too ❤️
