Bugsy's Plea

Hi, I’m Bugsy. My story almost ended before it even began.

As week and a half old kitten, Good Samaritans found me soaking wet, ice cold, and barely breathing. My tiny body was shutting down, and I didn’t have the strength to cry for help. Most people might have thought it was too late for me.

But my finders reached out to Dallas Cat Lady, who sprang into action. They placed me in the hands of a foster mom who became my lifeline. She held me close to warm me, fed me drop by drop when I was too weak to swallow, and stayed up through the nights just to regulate my body temperature and make sure I kept breathing. She refused to let me go.

Against all odds, I survived. I grew stronger, my purr returned, and soon I was tumbling around like any other kitten—alive because someone cared enough to fight for me.

When I was old enough, I found a forever home. My adopter loved me dearly, and I thought my story had finally reached its happy ending. But life can be cruel—my adopter passed away unexpectedly. I was heartbroken and confused, suddenly without the person I trusted most.

That’s when Dallas Cat Lady proved that their promise is for life. They welcomed me back without hesitation, because once you are a Dallas Cat Lady cat, you are always a Dallas Cat Lady cat.

I’m safe again, but my second chance—and the second chance of so many cats like me—depends on the generosity of people who believe that every life matters, even the fragile ones who seem too far gone.

On North Texas Giving Day, you can be part of my story. Your gift makes it possible for Dallas Cat Lady to honor its lifelong commitment to every cat they rescue—from the ones barely hanging on like me, to the ones who need a second chance after life takes an unexpected turn.

I was once a shivering, silent kitten on the edge of death. Now, because of love, care, and commitment, I’m here to tell my story. Please help Dallas Cat Lady keep their promise—for me, and for every cat still waiting for their miracle.

PLEASE DONATE TO DALLAS CAT LADY THIS NORTH TEXAS GIVING DAY!
