So far I have saved 3 cats, one was almost killed in a shelter for not being adopted, another thrown from a car window as a kitten, and the last was being abused and wasn't being fed in my neighborhood. I took her from these people and brought her home. She almost died, but we were able to help her. Since she has had 2 litters of kittens with one of the other cats we rescued, and all the kittens are successfully in good homes.
