Tiger - Bengal Tabby Cat

My story

MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE TIGER A HAPPY ENDING Tiger is a young cat with boundless energy and a gentle spirit. He’s waiting for someone special: *A family with older children to play with him. *A young couple who can match his playful energy. *Or a single person who will dote on him. Tiger has proven he can live harmoniously with other well-mannered pets. MY DIARY OF A RESCUE CALL A TALE OF COMPASSION AND HOPE I settled into a comfortable sofa chair in what I call, “The “Loving Room,” adjusting the pillows in order to sit alongside a cat purring beside me. The phone was ringing. The call would now connect us and the caller will feel hope that I might help her. She was eager to speak with me and began immediately with her tone laced with hope, “A cat surprised me stepping out of the bushes next to the driveway.” Then she paused, and my silence nudged her to tell me more. “I saw his eyes reflecting in the morning sun. He just looked right at me, ran toward me, and then backed away with uncertainty,” she said, her voice tinged with hope, wanting to believe that I could help her. She proudly told me, “It wasn’t hard to lure him into the garage with some tuna. I knew he’d be safe there, away from the coyotes.” Her voice carries emotion that tugged at my heart. I could feel her sadness. “I’m sure he belongs to someone, but my hope is fading,” she admitted, recounting her efforts to put up flyers and speak with neighbors. “No one recognizes him, and the shelter says no one has reported a cat like that missing.” “My dog’s vet says he’s under a year, not neutered, and there’s no microchip,” she said. “I’ve called all my friends and reached out to rescues, but no one can take him.” “I don’t know what to do,” she said, her voice growing somber. “People on social media tell me to keep him or suggest contacting the same rescues that can’t help. So, every night, I let him back into the garage. I’ve started calling him Tiger.” I WISH THIS WAS THE HAPPY ENDING But life doesn’t always come wrapped up neatly. THROUGH HER EYES She feels powerless. Her time is slipping away as she battles a terminal illness. “I opened the garage door to help him,” she said softly. “My husband, ever so practical, insists I take Tiger to a shelter. But I just can’t. Then he reminds me that we have a grumpy old dog.” So, the days pass, and every night she quietly lets Tiger into the garage. When her husband isn’t home, Tiger comes inside and curls up with a grateful purr near the grumpy dog. HER BURDEN Tiger’s soft purr calms her, but what will happen to him when she is gone? She prays for a miracle—that Tiger will find a forever home. AN ACT OF KINDNESS Opening her garage door to Tiger was much more than an act of kindness. Living with a terminal illness, her own life has limitations, but she hopes that, with your help, there will be a happy ending to Tiger’s story. Reach out if you can.
