The Story of Gerard The Rescuer


Today, we feature Princess, who is one of a multitude of animals rescued by a dear man, who was a neighbor when we lived in Seminole Heights. Gerard had a large yard and house and he never turned away an animal. He helped to catch feral cats, so they could be neutered and vaccinated, kept food dishes outside for the feral strays and helped to catch and place countless dogs. His yard and house were full of animals that people had deserted. He recently moved to an acre of land in Tennessee, so I'm sure the local strays are already finding their way to his door.

The picture above is of Princess on the back deck at her new house in Tennessee. She was a drop off at someones front gate in Seminole Heights. She was about 2 months old when they found her, a black and white ball of fur with a severe case of mange. Gerard took her, nursed her back to health and she grew into a beautiful, loyal and protective companion. Princess is now nine years old and enjoys being copilot to Gerard when he travels in his RV.
