This Was Meant To Be A Quick Warm Up, But It Turned Into A Comic That Ive Wanted To Draw For A While.

This was meant to be a quick warm up, but it turned into a comic that I’ve wanted to draw for a while. This is something that is extremely important to me, and I appreciate it if you read it.

A while ago, I heard a story that broke my heart. A family went a cat shelter to adopt. The daughter fell in love with a 3-legged cat. The father straight up said “absolutely not”. Because he was missing a leg. That cat was that close to having a family that loved him, but the missing leg held him back. Why?!

Many people have the initial instinct of “nope” when they see an imperfect animal. I get it, but less-adoptable does NOT mean less loveable. 9 out of 10 people will choose a kitten over an adult cat. And those 10% that would get an adult cat often overlook “different” animals.

All I want people to do is be open to the idea of having a “different” pet in their lives. Choose the pet that you fall in love with, but at least give all of them a fair shot at winning your heart.

Don’t dismiss them, they deserve a loving home just as much as any other cat. They still purr, they still love a warm lap, they still play, they still love you. Trust me, next time you are in the market for a new kitty, just go over to that one cat that’s missing an eye and see what he’s all about!

Hey, hi! Im really sorry for sending this, i just hope im not overstepping any boundaries as I'm about to ask help which is very important right now: our cat, Sleepy needs an urgent vet care. She is pain and I can't afford to pay the vet to help her so l'm reaching out to ask for help, I mean even if you can't help monetarily, reblogging or sharing it would truly mean a lot. She is my daughter's best friend and she's all I have left of my mom who passed away last 2021. In case you'd be insterested to help, I have pinned the post on my blog, please try to also answer the ask privately as some people tend to get weird on this stuff. Please send us prayers, be safe.

... I have no idea how to answer privately, sorry. Luck in your quest. Pet pain is family pain.
