00:00We pretty much saved her life by giving her, you know, something new to love and not just giving up on her.
00:07Julia was looking for a cat when one in particular on the euthanasia list caught her eye.
00:12Something like resonated with me when we saw her at the shelter.
00:15They told us about her history being pregnant and she's very young.
00:21She just like was very malnourished from being on the street and so her babies like didn't survive
00:27and that really like touched my heart but they told us that she had like some severe behavioral problems
00:34and that she wasn't technically adoptable but I said is there any way we can adopt her anyways?
00:39And she took Callie home with her that very day.
00:43And she was actually pretty sweet the first few days and then she started getting more and more aggressive.
00:52She even thought about the possibility of taking her back but knew she couldn't give up on her.
00:58And when Julia found out she was pregnant, everything changed.
01:03And she started like actually cuddling with me and she never cuddled before.
01:07She would like make biscuits on my stomach and she would purr and when I had my baby,
01:15she like immediately just wanted to be with the baby.
01:18Julia told us it was all because Callie got the second chance she deserved.
01:24She changed so much but she was labeled as this bad thing and now she's probably the sweetest cat to ever exist.
01:31She's very patient like she knows that my daughter is a baby and a toddler.
01:38Like oh you're a baby like I love you and I'm never gonna hurt you even if you pull my tail.
01:44My daughter does like to pull her tail and she actually enjoys it.
01:49But if I were to pull her tail, she'd probably turn around and bite me.
01:53And even two years later, Callie still likes to put little Emma to bed and wake her up in the morning.
02:01It's very touching to the heart seeing her play with my daughter and seeing her comfort my daughter.
02:08I cried a little bit the first time that we saw her doing that.
02:13I was just like I can't believe like we pretty much saved her life by giving her, you know,
02:20something new to love and not just giving up on her.
02:23I feel like animals have feelings just like us.
02:26I think she was grieving her kittens that she had lost and she was probably very confused.
02:31Even when humans lose a baby, especially like miscarriages or like stillbirths, it's very hard.
02:39And there's really no pain that compares to losing like your child.
02:44And she lost her children when she lost her kittens.
02:49Hi!
02:51Aww, so sweet.
02:54And then my daughter being born really helped her heal in the fact that she ended up getting like her rainbow baby,
03:03like her baby after loss.
03:05And I think my daughter just healed her in that way.
