The Greatest Gift of All – Life
Coming into work
Off - Leash
on the hot August morn-
ing, Director of Animal
Protective Services Ilka
Daniel saw a plastic bin
by the Shelter’s gate.
Opening the closed lid,
she realized the sealed
container had housed a
cat, but was now empty.
Miraculously, the
cat had been able to escape from the suffocating box. Ilka
began to look for the cat and spotted her in nearby woods.
Ilka saw she was in distress. Overcome by the ordeal, “Bindi”
seemed to welcome the help; she never moved while Ilka
made her way to her through thick brush. Purring in gratitude
as Ilka took her inside, she soon began to give birth to the
Bindi had fought for her life and that of her kittens, and
with help from the Shelter all had survived. Bindi and the kittens
are now available for adoption.
You can give the gift of life this holiday season by adopting
one of these loving pets or through your generous donations.
