This is the story of a friend who is a life saver.  Here’s the story in Amanda’s own words:

Well, not how I planned my day… Got up to go to Lansing. I thought I would detour though Ionia on my way and see my husband for a second… I pass by what I thought was roadkill, but see it move. I am NOT one to turn around or put something out of it’s misery… I kept driving, but it was killing me. It was a baby kitty…. So I got to the end of the road turned and texted my husband to call me so he could check it…. Well, he didn’t call me, I waited a couple minutes and had to go back. I was so scared of what I would see. I pulled over, cars going by both ways, and even straddling this poor thing in the middle of the road. I opened my door to go look and it started meowing!  Well, I put my big girl pants on and RAN! I grabbed this little baby and wrapped it in a sweatshirt and took off to the vet.

I was too scared to look. But didn’t “feel” any guts hanging out. Made it to the vet with just a couple of tears! So glad I went back! She was just scared and scraped up on her face! She’s at the vet clinic in Ionia!  They will be re-homing her.

Well, we blew it today! The dogs convinced Jason and I that they wanted a little sister… So it happen! We went and picked Portland up from the vet. She is doing well. Her little nose is pretty beat up, but that’s all. She loves to be held….a lot!

Bowser likes to sniff her and Benny isn’t sure what to think. He won’t look at her too long. Lol.

So that’s the story of how Amanda rescued Portland and gave her a new home.  Amanda didn’t want a cat.  She doesn’t like cats.  (Had a bad experience with one.)  With a heart as big as hers, Miss Kitty (Portland) found space there along with a new home and new friends that can protect her.
