A lot of cats were at the verge of death before being rescued. It is upsetting when we see or hear about an animal in distress, but let’s face it, not many of us can actually reach out to help. However, thanks to the hard and wondrous work of animal rescue organizations and kind hearted people, many rescued cats were given a chance to have the life they deserve.
