FLORIDA RESCUE - MAY - 2026

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 couldn’t believe it.  It was horrifying, and this is what happens when these cats get pregnant in the wild.  They just don’t have the nutrition that it takes to have a healthy pregnancy.  After they all died, I felt that her emotional state was not well, but Save Our Strays stepped in and had her spayed and her shots were done.  She had not only physical scars to heal, but mental scars as well.  I could tell that it was torture for her, watching those babies die one after another, over a two week period.  It  was a big lesson for me, whether to abort or not.  It’s a hard decision either way, but

when you find yourself in this situation, you must weigh all the pros and cons.  Julie has recovered, and is living a happy life in her adopted home.  With Mother’s Day coming up, please help support Save Our Strays so that cats like Julie can get off the street, and get the medical attention that they need and deserve. And remember an animal is not a gift, so do not gift out a cat for Mother’s Day.  Please make sure that they are a wanted pet, and let Mom pick out her own cat.
