This is Denver. She was hit by a car, leaving her with multiple broken bones in her back leg. Due to the extent of her injuries, she was at immediate risk for euthanasia. She needs surgery as soon as possible so she can walk comfortably again. You can help her below ❤️🩹

This is Jade, the sweetest, most wonderful lady at our local shelter here in Burlington, VT. She is such a love but she's been waiting for a home for months because she's older and diabetic (well controlled with medication). She deserves a loving home of her own. 😢 www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

MELIA has guarding issues. Both with food & toys. She was abandoned by her "family" in their apartment. No food/water. Starving! She was rescued and put into foster. The foster being inexperienced with guarding she bit them. Melia will learn in her forever home she will never starve again. 👇

Oh my girl, 🥺 we're all hoping the next car you go in to have some peace and quiet will be the one to drive you home. MELIA is tired of the noisy shelter. All she needs is an adult only home, a cozy bed, peaceful walks, and someone to love her. She can live with cats. No dogs. Come on
