Wendy gently stroked Lucky, the cat she’d adopted from the shelter, whispering, “This is your new home.” Despite her tight budget, she couldn’t turn down her friend Hannah’s plea to take in the older, scarred cat.
As Wendy struggled financially, she noticed Lucky’s strange behavior and rushed him to the vet. After treatment, money began mysteriously appearing around her house, and Wendy grew suspicious when Lucky brought back more bills.
One day, she caught Dr. Perry, the vet, giving Lucky money. He revealed he’d been secretly helping by having Lucky “collect” donations. He admired Wendy’s compassion for animals, recalling his own painful childhood of losing pets to his stepfather.
Wendy agreed to let Dr. Perry assist with food and vet care, and a fundraiser he organized helped with costs. Two years later, he opened a shelter in her honor, continuing her legacy of rescuing cats.
Lesson: Don’t be too proud to accept help, and consider adopting a pet—you might just be their savior.
