Lilly was almost crushed to death …

Updated: Aug 1

Moments before a car was meant to be crushed at a junkyard, an employee opened the hood to remove the battery … and found a cat! 

 

"As he popped open the hood, a bundle of fur jumped out and took a blind leap of faith into his arms," according to the Charlotte Observer. [1] 

 

The employee hung out with the cat for the rest of his shift, and then brought her to a nearby animal rescue center.

“She looked at him with soft eyes, thanking him with slow blinks and soft purrs. It was almost like she knew that her life had been saved,” said Brother Wolf Animal Rescue in North Carolina. [2]

 

A few hours later, the animal rescue center received a call from the junkyard from a man looking for his lost cat, Lilly.

According to the rescue team, Lilly “melted into his arms” when they were reunited.


It’s not clear how Lilly made her way to the junkyard and into the car. But Lilly is extremely lucky she was rescued in time … and that she had a guardian looking out for her.


Thanks so much for caring about animals!


 

The terrible reality is hundreds of millions of stray dogs and cats will never know the love of a dedicated guardian.

 

Even worse, many will fall victim to intentional cruelty. Approximately 50 countries have essentially no laws against cruelty to animals. Strays are killed by inhumane methods including being poisoned, beaten, or crushed to death.


Here in the U.S., hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats are killed in shelters every year simply for being born.


All dogs and cats deserve to know love and safety. That’s why our mission is to end the number 1 cause of suffering and death for dogs and cats -- overpopulation -- by developing a permanent-lasting birth control cookie that will only need to be eaten one time, and it will in effect spay or neuter -- without surgery.


Help end the number 1 cause of suffering for dogs and cats ... for as little as $1 a month.
