You would be surprised how much politics play a role in animal adoption. You would think that animal shelters would take any animal that needs help, but that's where you'd be wrong. We once read a story of a purrson who rescued a puppy who was just outside of the shelter's "jurisdiction", and even though they had space, they refused to take the poor pupper based on a technicality.
The reality is, though, that most shelters are already overrun or over capacity. They simply can't keep up with the number of stray animals, and there isn't enough demand to adopt them since many people like to buy pets.
That's where this story starts - a caring purrson saved a skinny stray cat from their work, and after deciding that they couldn't keep them for themselves, they approached local shelters to take the sweet baby girl in. However, she was refused from every shelter because of overcrowding. She didn't want to release the cat back outside (especially with this terrible winter weather), and just when she lost all hope, a wholesome hero stepped forward to pawsitively save the day. The hooman not only works at an animal shelter, but was willing to foster her until they found her a furrever family. It's a Christmas meowracle! Read more of their story below, and stay warm out there.
