​SOUTH CAROLINA RESCUE
​
PUZZLE AND HER PIECES STORY
Puzzle found herself out, and alone.  A young calico, she either got out or was put out, when she went into season.  She had her babies under a deck, and a tropical storm was coming.
The homeowner, hearing tiny kitten sounds, investigated.  She befriended Puzzle, and crawled under the deck to retrieve the four little puffs, still with their eyes unopened. The homeowner brought the family inside, installed them in a bathroom and began to look for help.
The tiny babies, 2 girls - a stunning little tabby with white, and a solid black with a white chest feather - and 2 boys, an orange tabby, and a white with 2 orange tabby spots on his head, were about 8 days old.  Puzzle is also young, and though likely this is her first litter, was a good mom.  She was protective and attentive, but allowed her new caretaker to handle her babies without any aggression from her.
Save Our Strays became aware of Puzzle’s plight through a community Facebook page, and plea and reached out to a rescue partner in the area to investigate, and look for foster options.  Sometimes, the planets just align.  Foster was available, transport was arranged and the little family was brought under our wing.
Puzzle, and her little pieces will need to be vetted.  They will need their required vaccinations, their spay and neuter surgeries, flea prevention and microchips to be able to campaign for their forever homes.  We are asking for your help to be able to provide these needed services.  This family is safe.  With your help, we can get them into homes where they will be safe for the rest of their lives, and open up space for the next lost family.  With your help, and every dollar counts, Save Our Strays can continue those so needed services.  We are committed to helping all we can.
