Meet Chuck And Purrle, The Newest Members Of The Defector Pet Family | Defector
Briefly

The author reflects on a lifelong relationship with cats, noting significant moments such as adopting her first cat in the 1990s and the challenges of living without any after the passing of two beloved pets. Following the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, she felt compelled to foster and adopt again, recognizing a shift in the pet adoption process brought on by social media. The experience leads her to explore new methods of connecting with cats, acknowledging both the emotional benefits and the changing landscape of animal rescue.
When I decided to let cats back into our lives after the fires, I realized pet adoption had evolved with social media, transforming the way we connect with animals.
Thankful for the wonderful memories of Katharine and Lilly, I embraced the idea of fostering and adopting cats as a meaningful way to combat the loss we all experienced.
