No good deed goes unpunished

"Good boy, Lucifer" is just pure gold

Oh dear, Lucifer's poor pathetic meows in the bath.

"The happy hoodie made him give up on life which is very convenient" I love your humour so much

Lucifer is SO sweet. I have a soft spot for black cats. Too bad he was so matted, I bet he looks stunning with a full coat of unmatted fur.

I think George was happy-licking his paws. He was inspired to look after himself because someone was helping him with his very discouraging mats. When my cat got old and got poop on his butt but couldn't clean it off himself anymore, I'd get a warm, wet cloth and wipe it for him, and he'd go from looking utterly depressed and lackadaisical to purring and happy and licking his paws right away. Kitties like to be clean and are depressed when they're dirty and can't do anything about it.

"Lucifer, can you be bribed?" "Not with mere Churu, mortal!"

Who knew that the Prince of Darkness could be so easily subdued by a happy hoodie? 😂😂

One rescue channel I used to watch said that they never shame the owners who surrender a neglected animal because they don't want others to be afraid to do the right thing if they can no longer care for their pet. I think about that often.

Love how you raise compassion for people having a hard time too. Thank you

Thank you! Someone recently posted a story about a dog who had been put up for adoption after the family had a baby. People were all over this family, how they couldn’t be trusted with a kid if they would rehome their dog. I knew a couple who had to rehome their dog after baby came. Baby and mom both had severe complications during labour and delivery. Mom took months to get better, baby will never fully recover. Overwhelmed dad was trying to do for his wife and new baby and after awhile it became apparent that this family simply didn’t have the time or energy for the dog anymore. He wasn’t receiving the love, time, energy and attention he deserved and they knew it just wasn’t going to go back to the way things had been. So they made the hard decision and sought a new home for their beloved pet. Because it’s what was right for all of them. Sometimes life happens. It doesn’t mean these pets aren’t loved.

I was a hospice nurse for 8 years so I can understand how the animals can be neglected unknowingly. Many of my patients were challenged just to take care of themselves. It's sad that this happens but it does. For those patients, I would try to give the animal attention if they woul allow and I would feed them before I left.

The first cat was so sweet, his little meows broke my heart.

Maybe something changed in these kitties environments and it is stressful so they are hiding more and not grooming. You are such a kind and compassionate girl and I know every single animal that you do feels that. Cute kitties!!

My cousin is dying from cancer and she was so afraid to have her little dog groomed because she thought they would take her away from her because her back end was matted. My other cousin took the dog to the groomer and they saw her at a moments notice because we had to come from out of state. The groomer was wonderful and got her little dog taken care of. Thank you for all you do!

"You can see how the happy hoodie made him gave up on life." Amazing sentence

My first thought was, "Oh no she didn't trim the murder mittens". Thank goodness Lucifer is so chill.

Both kitties blinked once back in their crates. They're grateful.

Well, at least Lucifer seems pretty chill. Must be because there aren't any singing mice to drive him crazy.

I love how calm Lucifer was for his bath. I had a cat that used to like to roll in the most awful stinky stuff and needed bathed regularly but it was like washing a blender while it was plugged in and running trying to clean him.

"Wanna stay here with me?" I can understand why you'd like to keep him 😭
