Rescuers deserve a special spot on earth, and if you're a pet lover like us, we bet you agree too. Their sacrifices are a huge reason millions of cats enjoy love and warm hugs in many households today.

Taking a cat from an otherwise terrible situation is one thing, but providing shelter, food, water, and medication while nursing them back to health is no easy feat. Yet, rescuers do this almost daily and even help more people enjoy this unique experience.

If you've ever adopted a pet, then you understand that giving a second chance to a neglected animal is a truly beautiful thing. What could compare to the joy you see on the face of an abandoned animal when they realize they're loved again?

Unfortunately, not all cats can fit into regular shelters. Some require extra help, and that's where places like Milo's Sanctuary for special needs cats come into play.

The rescuers at the sanctuary specialize in assisting cats with behavioral and physical abnormalities. And that's why we think these guys deserve an extra special spot on earth.

If you're not a firm believer in this, we have a story that will change your mind. You just can't see this and not feel your heart melting.

Scroll down to read this wholesome story! Get ready for your heartstrings to be tugged at!

Meet Earl

Howdy out there! This is Earl, and I’m popping by to introduce myself and say ‘thank ya kindly’ for all your donations, love and prayers. I had given up hope and was in so much pain. Just an old beat-up cat no one wanted, and now I’m on my road to recovery and feel wanted and loved. I have all of you to thank for that.

Earl is a ten-year-old cat who was unforgivably dumped on the streets near Burbank, California. As a result, he got hit by a car which caused significant trauma to his head and a broken jaw.

The elderly cat also had a "major hematoma" and an abscess under his left eye. Consequently, he needed expensive medical care, lengthy treatment and multiple surgeries.

Help comes along

He’s a great guy and has had his first of a few surgeries. He is taking it all like a champ and purring his way into all the veterinarian’s and staff’s hearts.

Earl was only hours away from being euthanized due to his severe wounds, but Milo's sanctuary took him in. Earl and other pets’ care required them to raise over $10K. Thankfully, they were able to exceed their goal.

A thoughtful message

He’s doing great and is the sweetest boy! He’s truly magical, and we are so honored to have him in our lives.

After reaching the goal, Earl thanked everyone on the sanctuary’s Facebook page. By this time, he had had his first surgery. 

Live update

Pet lovers live for updates, and Milo’s sanctuary didn’t fail to share a video update showing how great Earl was doing. You’ll be happy to know that he looked like the champ he is!

Milo’s Sanctuary want to introduce you to another cute critter, 8-year-old Frankie

As you can see in his picture, Frankie is a total character! This shy boy warms up to people and turns on the charm! A favorite with staff and volunteers, his shy smile, shaggy fur, and loud purrs make Frankie the total package!

If Earl’s story wasn’t enough to change your mind, then Frankie’s certainly will. The 8-year-old cat was rescued after someone noticed him walking the street with an infected eye.

Like Earl, he suffered from severe injuries and was missing some teeth and an eye. With the rescue organization, he too got a second chance at life. 

We bet you’re completely in love with Earl and Frankie now. Aren’t you? All cats deserve a second chance at life. Don’t you agree?

Thankfully, places like Milo’s sanctuary strongly believe this and are ensuring that felines get the love and attention they deserve.
