Raleigh friends rescue cat family in sealed box

Walking through Wooten Park in Raleigh, two friends spotted a clear plastic box with no air holes, taped shut in the parking lot. Inside, they found a mother cat, her daughter, and four tiny kittens—abandoned but alive. Thanks to their quick action and a call to the SPCA of Wake County, the whole feline family is now safe, cared for, and on the road to recovery. Cedar and Mahogany, the adult cats, will be adopted together, while the playful kittens will soon find new homes. It’s a powerful reminder of how a little kindness can change lives.

Why 'Kill Shelters' Aren’t the Villains

Animal rescue star Isabel Klee just dropped a truth bomb: 'kill shelters' aren’t evil—they’re just open-intake, taking in every animal, no matter what. Unlike 'no kill' shelters that can turn pets away, these places are overwhelmed and forced to make heartbreaking choices. Isabel says the real enemy is overpopulation, not the shelters. Want to help? Support your local shelter—ANY shelter—and consider fostering or adopting. The animals need us all, not more finger-pointing. #Pets #AnimalRescue #ShelterPets

Abandoned dogs left in Amarillo heat

Finding dogs left outside Gracie’s Project Store in Amarillo, with no food, water, or shelter, is heartbreaking—especially in this summer heat. Volunteers are scrambling to care for these abandoned pets, even when space is tight. It’s not just about one or two dogs; overpopulation and neglect are growing problems here. There are affordable options for spaying and neutering, but too many people aren’t using them. Leaving pets outside puts their lives at risk. What can we do as a community to help stop this cycle and support responsible pet ownership? #Pets #Amarillo #AnimalRescue
