6. Good for you! It's not easy to bring an animal from overseas, but I'm so glad you did!

I rescued my Japanese Bobtail from the pound (it was her last day) from a PCS turn-in. Izzie lived with me 'til she was 23.

I rescued another cat who had been abandoned *in the house*... but not before the family who left her had had her declawed!!!! ARGH!!! Despite her rough beginning, she lived to be almost 20... and was the most loving cat to every dog we had! She very much preferred them to any of our other cats! (LOL)
