Rescue Stories That Will Warm Your Heart
Dear Friend,
A PETA Present is a powerful way for you to help animals and inspire those you share it with. Our featured Season's Greeting Present features the rescue stories of Missy—a spunky Lab-chow mix—and TikTok and Zoom, two adorable cats.
Missy spent much of her life alone in a junk-strewn pen. PETA fieldworkers checked on her frequently, providing straw bedding and other supplies, but years outside during withering summer heat and bone-chilling winters took a toll on her body.
During one visit, a fieldworker noticed that Missy's weight was dropping and she had a raspy cough—telltale signs of heartworm disease. If the dog had any chance of surviving, she needed immediate medical treatment. Her indigent owner agreed to release her to PETA's team, which quickly ensured that she received the medical attention she needed and eventually placed her in a loving home, where she'd never be forced to live outside again.
TikTok and Zoom's homeless mother gave birth to the pair under a shed in rural North Carolina during the pandemic. Without a place to call home, she was forced to scrounge for food, dodge cars, and avoid predators just to keep her babies safe. But when a kind person found the two kittens alone with no sign of their mother, the good Samaritan called PETA, and TikTok and Zoom were rescued!
Today, they're flourishing in their new home. Zoom is known to make origami animals out of blankets, and TikTok has the knack for DIY home improvement—check out what he's done to his kitty condo:
