I am a volunteer for my local Humane Society. When I started in 2013, I was cleaning up after and loving on the cats they had up for adoption at Petco (they have since moved to PetSmart). Runt was one of four orange male cats that I took care of. One day I walked in and he sneezed. I reported it and to err on the side of caution, they took him back to the shelter where he SAT! Since I was in and out of the shelter as well, I would make a beeline to his cage to see if he recognized my voice. They then put him on their Mobile Adoption Trailer at an adoption event that I also volunteered. No one adopted him or a kitten that day, so I decided he was going home with me to be a "little bud" to Trey who I also adopted from a rescue. I renamed him Trevor and within a short period of time, this one year old ginger grew into a therapy cat for me (I have PTSD). He has turned my life around. No longer am I crying every day at a drop of a hat. And since he was dumped at the Humane Society (for spraying the house of his first owners who did NOT neuter him or get him his shots, plus they had dogs!), who rescued who here? And though he and Trey tolerate each other (with this little devil starting the play fights), having two now is just priceless. Trevor was the BEST twenty-five bucks I EVER spent!
