Man Saves Every Stray Cat He Finds in His Village and Turns Their Lives Around...
Source: LoveMeow
A man, Uli Sharbinie, with a humble beginning and a tremendous heart for animals has been on a crusade to save stray cats in his village.
When he was young, his grandfather brought home stray cats and cared for them. It was instilled in Uli that with love and compassion, they could make a difference for these animals. He saw what a little bit of kindness could do to help those in need, and he has been on a journey to rescue local strays ever since.
Uli lives in a village near Bogor, Indonesia. It is rural and covered with dirt roads. He brings home sick, injured cats and kittens from garbage disposal, traditional markets, schools, streets and parking lots.
Now at 47, a father of five children, his wife Desi and his mother, 90 years old, all live in one room home, but Uli is building a new home for the cats. "In 2011 I started building a small shelter to give home for stray cats," Uli told Love Meow.
But soon he realized that it wasn't enough as the number of needy cats kept increasing. Then he met an Angel named Kristen Larson who lives in Oxnard, California.

There are currently 33 cats living at the sanctuary. Uli and his family also care for cats living outside to make sure they are fed, vetted, and spayed/neutered.

This story tugs at my heart strings. I have six rescues currently. I lost my oldest and dearest friend, 12-year old Arlo, last March to cancer and I still mourn for him. All my cats were throw aways and have taken up space in my heart and home like family. We try to TNR (Trap, Neuter and Return) any strays that venture onto our property and a couple of them have stayed with us. This man is a hero and my hope is more people will try to keep the stray population down so there will be fewer animals dying in shelters ~ millions every year in this country alone.
