BRONSON UPDATE We are so proud of how far Bronson has come in a

little more than a year since he was rescued. Here is a before pic at 31lbs with no use of his legs, tied to a tree and left for dead, to now where he has filled

out and his coat is shiny! He has manners and knows commands. Bronson is a happy healthy

chunky little boy. Saving Souls Rescue is still helping him learn to trust people… little by little!

Keep up the good work Bronson. We love you!

Thanks to all who donated for Bronson’s care.

His recovery is because of you!

A letter from Pat Yannotta, a dedicated volunteer

whose passion is TNR. We are grateful she is on the Pluto team!

In August of 2017 we were called by a colony

caretaker to rescue an orange kitten who was unable to eat because she was being trampled by adult cats

in the colony. We trapped the kitten we named Tigger and a few adults. We eventually

spayed/neutered 14 cats in this colony, 11 of which were females. Due to Tigger’s poor health she was

with us for some time but has recently been adopted. If everyone would step up and take some responsibility, just some, for the outside cats, i.e.

spay/neutering, financing medical care, feeding and providing winter shelter, someday there will be no outside cats There will be no freezing, sick, starving or dying kittens, no adults having litter after litter of kittens, no males fighting each other and spraying around. If everyone takes care of just one, maybe

we won’t have to take care of 14. Certified volunteers are always welcome.
