Dog Meets Foster Kitten And Decides He’s Keeping Her For Good

I’ve heard the term “crazy cat lady”, but I think this story is a little bit on a different level! Now you need to meet Skeeter. He’s a young dog who has a very special place in his heart for any and all kittens that he meets.

He loves kittens, and he protects them as if they were his own children. Unfortunately for Skeeter, most kittens aren’t into have a big scary dog around them 24/7.

Now it’s time to meet Roo.

Roo and her two siblings ended up in the Animal Welfare League of Arlington in northern Virginia after being discovered on the streets by an animal control officers.

The staff at that shelter noticed that something was up with Roo. She was underweight and walked oddly. After a vet trip, it was discovered that Roo was missing her elbow joints. She went to stay with Russ, a co-founder of the National Kitten Coalition.

Russ was used to extreme and challenging cases with kittens, and she was pretty sure that she could handle a young kitten missing joints in her front legs.

Russ did more than just handle Roo. Within weeks Russ had fallen in love with Roo and decided to adopt her.

And that’s where Skeeter comes back in. He’s Russ’s dog, and he finally found a loving kitten partner. Roo absolutely adores Skeeter, and the two are always together.

It’s amazing to see these two have each other. Each has improved the other’s life immeasurably, and we’re glad that there’s people like Russ out there, bringing animals like these together.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment . I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry, and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth on Instagram and @justice4earth on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...
