Last post I got into some deeper detail about how we work and why. And you got to learn about a recent successful adoption story with Rocko.

Haven’t read that one? Check it out here.

If you follow the many amazing rescues organizations of San Diego (or elsewhere) on social media you are well aware there are a lot of urgent and sad situations they deal with every day.

Early on Andrew and I made the decision that we would keep our environment and our social media feeds strictly a place of happy and inspiring content – because let’s face it there is a lot of dark in the world right now.

Any little bit we can do to brighten someone’s day we believe is ultimately in the best interest of the cats we are trying to place in happy forever homes.

That said, I also believe it’s important to understand a bit about what goes on behind the “happy cozy” cat cafe scene – specifically what sort of situations the animals we all work together to help have encountered before coming to our foster environment.

Which brings me to Danny….

Beautiful Dani

Dani is a beautiful 3 year old orange tabby gal. However her story – as far back as we know it – had a difficult start.

Dani – then called “Danny” somehow ended up at a high-kill shelter, ill and rapidly declining in that environment. Thanks to hard working volunteers who work with shelters to network for cats they believe can be saved, someone put an urgent plea out for her…

This is the actual post…

She’s not meowing in this photo, she can’t breathe due to a really bad upper respiratory infection. Not much different than when an infant has a bad head cold.

Luckily she was pulled into foster thanks to the plea for help.

Once in foster, it still took this poor gal over 8 weeks to get healthy enough to be fit for adoption.

And then she came to us at Cat & Craft.

Now she’s known as “Dani” – same sound but a new name for a new start. And as you can see her shadow days are far behind her.

The truly happy ending to her story will be when her forever family comes in and decides to adopt her! But she’s well on her way to a wonderful life from here on out.

Think you might be her purrfect home? Then come on in and meet her!

With Love and Light,
