Sometimes miracles do happen! This rescue story is very special, not only because these two ARWOB kitties had a rough start, but because Red was adopted in April 2022 and then Rigatoni joined the same lovely family in September 2022. We just love repeat adopters! The cherry on the top is that their adoptive mom also became one of ARWOB’s lovely kitty volunteers!
Red had been rescued by a good Samaritan, who found him lying in his back yard. ARWOB was eventually contacted and we took him under our care. It was later discovered that Red had an old pelvic fracture that had somehow healed on its own. He was not a candidate for surgery at that point and it was determined he was not in pain and was able to move around on his own. Red’s adoptive mom was touched by his story and found him to be super sweet. She started a foster-to-adopt trial in March and and finalized his adoption in April.
Rigatoni also had a very rough start! He came under ARWOB’s care along with his 6 kitten siblings when they were only a few weeks old and less than 200 grams. Rigs was diagnosed with FIP in late 2021. He was successfully treated and fully recovered, thanks to the new treatment options that are now available for this condition (ARWOB was determined to help Rigatoni beat FIP and we raised funds to treat him). Rigs waited over a year to find his “purrfect” forever family and we are so glad he waited! He joined his loving family in September and now lives the good life!
Red and Rigatoni joined the household with their feline companion Mouse and their adoptive mom has said all 3 kitties are living happily together. Their adoptive mom sent us these cute photos of Red and Rigs showing how they have become BFFs over the last several months. Yup! Miracles sometimes do happen!
