Tazz the 21 year young wonder cat

Read heartfelt stories of rescue, and share your rescued animal stories with others.

Tazz has been an exceptional cat from the start, very personable with a strong presence. He belonged to a family member who left him after a divorce. He lived here and there, mostly outside in Montana and I think from his scars and torn ear that he had to defend himself more than once from other cats and dogs. Just before he came to me he was living outside in a camp where the temperature was in the single digits. At that time he was 17. I've had him 4 years now and he just turned 21. He is healthy and happy and brings us a lot of joy..

We got him some sweaters to help him stay warm in the colder weather. He joins two other household member cats who wandered here, 14 miles from town in the rural mountains of N. Idaho. Love goes a long way in keeping animals healthy and their love goes just as far in keeping us healthy.

About The Animal Rescue Site

The Animal Rescue Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need — providing food and vital care for some of the eight million unwanted animals given to shelters every year in the U.S., as well as animals in desperate need around the world. Over four million animals are put to death each year in the U.S. alone because they are abandoned and unwanted.

Each click on the purple "Click Here to Give — it's FREE!" button at The Animal Rescue Site provides food and care for a rescued animal in need. Funding for food and care is paid by site sponsors and distributed to animals in need by Rescue Bank, The Fund for Animals, the Petfinder Foundation, North Shore Animal League, International Fund for Animal Welfare,and other worthy animal rescue organizations supported by GreaterGood.org.

In addition to clicking the purple "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button, visitors can help more by shopping in The Animal Rescue Site store. With each item purchased, shoppers generate funds for the feeding and care of animals in shelters and sanctuaries.
