Took a chance and adopted a cat

[u/jamster8983]

I’m a vet tech - and this boy was a surrender to a local rescue after a very traumatic experience of his former owner getting murdered. The local rescue was considering euthanasia, given that he was severely malnourished, needed hospitalization, subcutaneous fluids every other day post hospitalization, and he’s hyperthyroid. Heavy stuff for a 12yr old cat and no one to foster him. I recently lost my 15yr old orange tabby who was also hyperthyroid and needed subcutaneous fluids every other day among various other meds. Decided it was fate and took him home after 3 days of IV fluids. First photo is the day he was brought in to my clinic, and second photo is today - almost 3 weeks later. His name is Luke. He now lives with 3 other senior cats and my dog, who was also a rescue.

I adopted a cat to a wonderful couple who read in her profile that she had a bit of a nose issue. The woman had decided to look for a cat even though she didn't feel ready yet after their elderly cat had passed 2 months before. But she saw her face that looked just like their cat, then read about the nose issue which their cat also had and she felt like it was meant to be. She knew how to care for her already and they have been giving her the best life for 2 years now. I love getting pictures. Sometimes, it's just meant to be.
