I had rescued a robin bird once but will think twice before doing it again haha. I had to go out and hunt worms for it because it was so little and I used a heat lamp and not knowing anything about feeding them I got up through the night every couple hours to feed it. After a couple weeks it started flying a bit. I was careful not to touch it with bare hands though and when it started to fly I put it back with the rest of it's family and to my surprise the momma bird actually started feeding it! I was so releived of my worm hunting and feeding duty and so releived that the momma took over and surprised.

When I was younger, I went to the humane society and picked out a kitten. The people there told me i had to wait a couple of days to take her home because she had to get spaid (spelling???) and her shots. I went back a few days later to pick her up and they informed me that she had gotten an pneumonia and that she had very little chance of surviving and for me to pick out another kitten. I felt so bad for the kitten, since they probably would have just put her to sleep, that I took her home anyways and kept her in a room away from the other animals. I sat with her daily, got some medication for her, and pretty much nursed her back to health! It was an incredible feeling to see her running around and feeling better! She definately would have died if I hadnt taken her home. I love animals and could never walk away from a sick animal or an animal in need!

ohhh that is so great! I would take all the animals from a shelter if I was able. I adopted our doggy from the shelter too and I felt so bad having to leave the others behind, it is sad to wonder about what all they went through and how they ended up there and what will happen to them. I am an animal lover.

No, but I would like to tell a story. I saw a girl rescuing a turtle in the middle of the highway and putting it in the bushes. I started crying a lot. I was on my way to college. It reminded me when I used to have a turtle, her name was "LOLA". Actually I didn;t know if it was a female or male. LOL

I'm not sure if you'd call this 'saving an animal' but I fed a stray cat for about two years. However my parents were completely against having animals in the house therefore we just put out some food and it drank it. I had to avoid petting the cat too. Well, it was fun while it lasted. I eventually moved countries leaving that cat behind.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Prairiedawn31 (1167)  3 years ago

ummmm you left it behind to starve??? It was good you did give it food to start with but then it depended on you for its food and you left it behind?:-(

Just last week, i saved a cat's life and made a post about it. I was hoping enough people would see it. I pulled a plastic ziploc off a cats head. It must have been digging in someone's trash. It really freaked me out!

Way to go on saving the bird.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Prairiedawn31 (1167)  3 years ago

ohhh my gosh it is lucky you seen it way to go! I never thought about them getting their heads stuck in bags like that. I try to keep the lids on our cans when I set them out but I usually see the neighbors garbage all over the place torn into. Good job for that! Most cats are strays around here and would run away. People need to take care of their animals or have them fixed.
