    • I care for feeding TR Colony daily. They are so thankful. My outside kitty was shot by my neighbor. He has slugs in him, but with all of the love and Vet care, I have given him he is able to climb and jump, even with the limp. We cannot give up on these babies. #RescueLife 😻 #SoMuchLove

    • I didn't find him, but we adopted a cat (William) that needed physical therapy like that too. As well as stretching his legs, I had to walk around the apartment holding a towel in either hand, with the middle part under William's belly, so he could move his back legs without any weight put on them
