#Repost @pawsofwar with @instarepost2016 ・・・ Soldier Becomes Angel to Injured & Abused Cat, Wants Him to be Her Companion While she didn’t set out to be, Army Sergeant Rode became an angel to a cat while serving in the Middle East She’s on a mission to help Paws of War with the costs of rescuing her cat, which she named #Bubba, back to the states with her since she has received new orders. It’s a mission that #PawsOfWar can help her pull off, but only with the support of the community. This type of effort takes a village, & the organization is asking people to support #SgtRode, who is serving her country. When Sgt Rode first saw Bubba, he had given up. Bloody, frail, & injured, the cat ran from everyone. It was clear that he had been fighting for his life for a long time. Sgt Rode knew she had to help. She became Bubba's angel, & he became her greatest joy while serving overseas, & they were essentially inseparable. Worry came back to her when she received new orders to head home, & it was clear that she would not be able to take Bubba with her. She couldn’t stand the thought of leaving him behind to fend for himself or to try to find someone else to provide him with the love & care that he has grown accustomed to with her. “Bubba is such a wonderful cat, & he greets me every time he sees me & purrs loudly whenever I pet him,” says Sgt Rode. “I have formed such a great bond with him, it took me so long to gain his trust, & I can’t fathom the thought of leaving him behind once I get deployed back to the U.S. He has been a wonderful companion and provides me so much comfort when I need it most. I could not leave this cat behind to suffer and die. He trusts me, and I won’t let him down.” To learn more about Sgt.
