Being married to a veterinarian, I’ve learned that you can’t save them all—but you can certainly try.
Yesterday, while visiting family in Tampa, my nephew rescued a tiny kitten that was hungry, exhausted, and covered in fleas. Devon, the girls, and I spent hours giving flea baths, combing through his fur, and removing hundreds of fleas.
Through it all, the little guy never fussed. It was almost as if he knew we were trying to help him. He patiently endured every bath, every comb, and every flea we picked off.
Last night, thanks to Devon’s kindness, he had a warm, safe place to sleep—probably the first truly comfortable rest he’s had in his short life.
We may not be able to save them all, but for this one little kitten, yesterday changed everything. And that makes my heart incredibly happy. ❤️🐾
