Sweet boy Tommy is so very grateful he was rescued. He was living near a rundown shack where there was glass, rusty nails & crumpled cans from frequent partiers. His guardian angel noticed that he had sustained some injuries so he was quickly taken to the vet. His wounds were cleaned up & from there he went to a foster home, where unexpectedly his health quickly declined. So much so that we weren’t sure he was going to make it. He went back to the vet for further testing & it was found he had tetanus, very rare for a cat to get. But with much love & care, he has bounced back & is ready to be someone’s forever buddy. It’s very possible he belonged to someone at some point, as he is so sweet & just wants to give love. This baby deserves nothing but the best from now on. He has a friend that he has bonded with, Angel, the calico posted here. It would be so great if he could share a forever home with her. Anyone got room for two best buddies??

Rescue Group Info...
Paws4Life, Inc. was established primarily to help care for homeless, abandoned, stray, & feral cats in Union County, NC.
Our county shelter's kill rate is currently 78% (over 90% for cats). Without TNR, stray & feral cats will continue to reproduce & continue adding to the overpopulation & high kill rate. Too often & too quickly animals that once had a home are abandoned for numerous reasons & le...ft to fend for themselves, opening their lives up to many new & unfamiliar challenges with the previous owners "hope" that they can make it on their own. I currently care for 4 homeless cats on a regular basis with a few others that "appear" from time to time. The 4 regulars have been spayed/neutered & should anymore come around regularly, they will be altered as well. They also are fed daily, have basic shelter from the elements & are given medical attention if needed. There were originally 6 regulars but recently we had to find one of them a home due to him developing allergies, & then one went missing for 2 weeks & upon return was limping. It was determined by the vet that she had been shot & sustained nerve damage to her leg.
Paws4Life, Inc. would like to encourage & be able to assist others with TNR missions & possibly start a program in the community that would assist other feral colony caregivers with the basics of caring for their homeless colonies.
Often times there are pleas either through e-mail or Facebook posts for financial help with urgent animal abuse/neglect cases or for assistance with transport of an animal being adopted. Paws4Life would like to contribute towards such situations if there comes a time when that is financially possible.
By example & through outreach, Paws4Life, Inc. hopes to educate more people in the local community about the responsibility of animal ownership & the importance of spaying/neutering. So often people just "didn't know" & if they can be taught & are willing to learn, not only does it benefit them but the community as well & ultimately, the animals. I 'didn't know' about the high-kill rate in our county's shelter until I asked. Maybe if more people knew the facts, more people would be motivated to work towards change.
ALL animals deserve the chance to live out their lives & I believe it is our responsibility, as the more intelligent species, to have regard for those lives. It is my hope, my wish, that more compassion & regard would be given to the lives of those who depend on us; That more people would stop & just "pause for life"!!
Amor conquista todo!!
