“I’m Pearl, and I was living out in Pingxi when a kind passer-by grew worried and called for help. I had no strength left to run—my legs hurt, my eyes were cloudy, and I carried wounds from old scraps—so when the rescuers came, I simply sat quietly while they gently lifted me into a net and took me to the vet.

I share my life with Calico, and the two of us come as a pair. We rest side by side and feel safe whenever we’re together.

All we’re hoping for now is one calm home where we can stay together.”
