Source: LoveMeow
It was a note that led a team of people in an rescue effort to save three tiny kittens that found their way under a woman's car.
Nur Izzah Zabidi from Malaysia shared the story on Facebook how her mother found a note on her car this week.
When she returned to her car, she found a note alerting her to check for kittens underneath her car before turning on the engine.
The note says: "Dear sir/madam, there is a sound of little kittens underneath your car. Appreciate if you can check before you start your engine. Thank you so much."
Nur Izzah's mother immediately called the fire department to help with the search. A few students also stopped to offer a helping hand.
With help from everyone, they were able to retrieve three tiny ginger kittens who were stuck underneath the car. They were no bigger than one week old.
The mother cat was nowhere in sight so they found the kittens a new home where they will be loved and spoiled.

#ProjectB2: Strangers unite to form chain to get rescue cats home in 300-mile relay
A pair of rescue cats were driven 300 mile to their new home in a four-stage relay made up of strangers – who came forward after seeing their plight on Twitter.
Benny and Barney were driven for nine hours from Keighley, West Yorkshire, to Portsmouth, stopping off at Doncaster, Birmingham, and Oxford.
The cats were originally taken in by Keighley Cat Care rescue centre (KCC) after they were rescued from a home in a joint operation to take in 30 cats from a squalid home.
But after six months Benny and Barney had still not been adopted and an appeal was put out on Twitter.
Welfare officer at KCC, Angela Gray, said: ‘The problem was that they were so inseparable that they had to be re-homed together.
‘Then with the added complication that they are elderly and have some health problems, it meant that they were still here six months later and we were desperately wanting to get them to their forever home.’
Benny is 14-years-old and Barney is also thought to be in his teens.

When the centre appealed on Twitter they managed to find a perfect home within a month – the problem was it was almost 300 miles away.
But amazingly, without any prompting from the centre, followers of their cat call on Twitter started to get together, creating their own group to orchestrate their journey down south.

Source: The Orphan Pet, MARCH 6, 2017
Two of SCARS rescue cats, Iron and Powder, found in each other all the love, the warmth and the tenderness they were deprived off during most of their lives. They love each other so much, eat together, play together, and sleep in each other’s arms in front of the window, where the sun keeps them warm.
They were both strays, and were rescued by SCARS volunteers within weeks from one another.
Powder
Powder, the white one, suffers from skin cancer and is FIV positive. For him, every day is a bet he needs to win. The FIV has affected his kidneys, he has lost his appetite and is not gaining weight. He was on IV for a few days and the volunteers are doing their best to keep him healthy and happy. If he gains back his strength, his ears will be amputated.
Iron
Iron’s condition is devastating. He suffers from everything a cat can possibly suffer from: FIV, fungus, Two broken legs, a mutilated tail. Pus keeps coming out of his eye and his ears. He was found very week and starving, and he has managed to survive for about a month now, against all odds.
Their meeting
At first, when Iron was rescued, he was put on a crate in the same room where Powder was (also in a crate). The volunteers started noticing that the two cats kept purring and meowing at each other, rubbing their bodies against their crates and trying to get closer together.
So at first, the two crates were placed one next to the other, and the two boys could not be happier. They would sleep next to each other, “talk” and purr constantly. After a couple of weeks went by, a room was emptied in the cattery, so that they could live together – and nothing could make them happier.
Today
Today, the two cats share a room, a life, and a friendship rarely seen among male cats. Neither of them is neutered, because their health does not permit them to undergo any operation yet. So we are waiting, and so are they – although they do not realize that they are in a temporary place and that SCARS plans to make their lives much better once they recover.

Man Saves Every Stray Cat He Finds in His Village and Turns Their Lives Around...
Source: LoveMeow
A man, Uli Sharbinie, with a humble beginning and a tremendous heart for animals has been on a crusade to save stray cats in his village.
When he was young, his grandfather brought home stray cats and cared for them. It was instilled in Uli that with love and compassion, they could make a difference for these animals. He saw what a little bit of kindness could do to help those in need, and he has been on a journey to rescue local strays ever since.
Uli lives in a village near Bogor, Indonesia. It is rural and covered with dirt roads. He brings home sick, injured cats and kittens from garbage disposal, traditional markets, schools, streets and parking lots.
Now at 47, a father of five children, his wife Desi and his mother, 90 years old, all live in one room home, but Uli is building a new home for the cats. "In 2011 I started building a small shelter to give home for stray cats," Uli told Love Meow.
But soon he realized that it wasn't enough as the number of needy cats kept increasing. Then he met an Angel named Kristen Larson who lives in Oxnard, California.

There are currently 33 cats living at the sanctuary. Uli and his family also care for cats living outside to make sure they are fed, vetted, and spayed/neutered.
