I like when I go into the shelter not knowing whom I'm going to rescue. I have a few open foster spaces and was trying to find a good match for them. What I didn't know, is that I might just fall in love with little "Gabby":
Gabby is only about 16 weeks old and she was sick at the shelter. Because I'm a new rescue, I have a duty to insure I have enough money to care for our current foster cats in our care. I felt pretty confident the shelter would euthanize her tomorrow. My heart was breaking. I sat on the floor with her trying to figure out if I could knowingly take on a sick cat. While I was doing the mental math an email came in that I had a donation! There's no such thing as a coincidence. I had goosebumps...
Little "Gabby" was rescued, taken to the vets, given medication, fluids and currently at the House of Turner. You'd never know she was sick:
This little girl just wants love and wouldn't sit still long enough to receive it. (kiss me! Love me! pet me!) I haven't fostered a black and white girl in a long time.
She's going to be a tough one to give up. I can just feel it.
This is so amazing! And you know that even if she had not been euthanized, she would have only gotten sicker at the shelter. I am so happy you were able to rescue her.
Awww, she reminds me of one of our previous fosters, Tortellini. She got so excited and rolled and rubbed so enthusiastically when we patted her that she often rolled herself right off our laps/the couch.
She's awesome! Every house should have a black and white cat (or 3...). You say she's going to be tough to give up but do you have to? I mean, have you already got one in this colouration? :-)
I find that one can never have enough tuxedo cats ;-)

You should set up a section on your website about stories like this in "how your dollars help"

Gabby is magnificent! What a love. I'm jealous!

Gabby's cute but who else did you rescue?

It was her lucky day. She'll make someone very happy, I'm sure.
