Meet Bugs: From a cage to a best friend.

At just three months old, Bugs had already experienced more neglect than any animal ever should.

Flying Pigs Sanctuary found this exuberant little kitten in a horrific hoarding case, locked in a cage by herself, covered in feces and absolutely desperate for love. But the second that cage door opened, Bugs didn’t hesitate.

She came bounding out. 

She was so excited to see a human. So excited to be touched, held, and loved.

Before Bugs can begin her journey toward adoption, they needed to make sure everything happening on the outside hadn’t caused something serious on the inside. So they rushed her to the vet for an evaluation, testing, and the care she needed so they can be confident in moving her to foster care.

And Bugs has proven to be an absolutely AMAZING kitten.

Even more beautifully, she found Finley—another little survivor from the same horrific hoarding case. Finley lost both of her siblings despite everything we did to save them, and now Bugs has taken her under her wing. The two have become best pals, playing, snuggling and learning together what kittenhood was supposed to look like all along.

This is why they do it.

They can’t erase the cage.
They can’t erase the neglect.
They can’t give them back the beginning they deserved.

But they can completely rewrite the ending.

Please consider donating toward Bugs’ veterinary bills and helping Flying Pigs Sanctuary get this joyful little girl one step closer to the forever home waiting for her. Thank you.
