Cedar City, Utah Cats
This is Ziggy. She was living outside my house when my neighbor poisoned her and 8 other cats in the area. Once they were poisoned, they all came to my porch to die. I tried to help, but within 2 days, I watched 8 young kittens die a horrible death. I was able to save one of them. Though Ziggy is partly paralyzed. She can walk, but it is different than most. She struggles, to say the least. But she is safe and lives a restful, safe life with me.
Please be kind and do something to help instead of torturing and killing animals in an inhumane way. Just get them fixed and let them live their lives. It will be short outside anyway. $25.00 to get fixed and vaccinated. I take care of the rest.
If you want to help, donate at my venmo:

Living through an experience like Ziggy's truly changes your perspective on animal rescue. When I first learned about the poisoning incident in Cedar City, it struck me how vulnerable outdoor cats are to cruelty and neglect. From my own experience volunteering with local rescues, I've seen the importance of community involvement in protecting these animals. One of the most effective ways to reduce suffering is through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs. Spaying or neutering cats not only prevents unwanted litters but also reduces aggressive behaviors and the risk of future poisoning or harm. At just $25 for fixing and vaccination, this is a cost-effective way to promote their wellbeing. Caring for injured or partly paralyzed cats like Ziggy requires patience and compassion. Providing a safe, restful environment and ongoing care helps these cats regain some quality of life. I've found that creating a quiet space with easy access to food and litter, along with gentle encouragement, can make a big difference. Supporting local rescues financially or through volunteering can amplify efforts to save more cats. Even small donations contribute to food, medical care, and shelter for those in need. Sharing stories like Ziggy's raises awareness and encourages humane treatment in the community. Above all, this journey has taught me that kindness in action—whether it's spaying, rescuing, or educating others—is key to giving these cats a chance for a safer, happier life. If you ever get the chance, consider getting involved in your local rescue; the impact you can have is truly meaningful.
