She called me right away, and told me that this cat was in trouble and asked if could I help. This is a reminder to be a responsible pet owner, and to have a plan

FLORIDA RESCUE RANGER Meet Julie! Julie was rescued from a dump truck parking lot, very pregnant. I didn’t have the heart to abort the babies, because she was so close to delivery. Being that she did not have the nutrition during her pregnancy to have healthy babies, I was taking a big chance. Sure enough, once she gave birth, every single baby all six of them looked exactly like her. It was so adorable, until my heart was broken watching the babies die one by one. I c

FLORIDA RESCUE RANGER As we move forward into the year 2026, I find myself reflecting on a rescue on Christmas of 2026. The smell of rotting leftovers, and the damp of a Florida December shouldn’t be the first memory of a kitten‘s Christmas, but for one little Family, the dumpster behind a local Burger King/Wawa gas station was the only home they knew. Mama, a surprisingly, gentle soul despite her circumstances. She did her best to kee

FLORIDA RESCUE RANGER - November - 2025 Meet Glory! The late afternoon sun beat down on the shimmering asphalt of a Home Depot parking lot. A tiny, terrified three month old calico kitten was huddled up against a stack of mulch behind the building. This was Glory terrified. With a coat of color that was faint, like a sunset, matching the mulch and the concrete, she was difficult to see. I heard her small meows, as I was out feeding a colony of feral cats. Glory was dri
