And Then Came Maple

Everyone deserves a second chance – humans and pets alike! A true down to earth yet heartwarming story about forgiveness, personal growth, and relentless positivity.

When Esther needed a hand the most, Felix, a stray cat, came into her life and gave her his big, soft, pink toe beans. In the heart of this big, strong, and sometimes ferocious cat, Esther found a true friend, a companion... and new hope.

Felix and Esther were inseparable. He was with her during her teenage years and well into her late twenties. He even helped her choose her husband! Their life was perfect after adopting two senior cats from a local shelter. Everything was good.

That is, until it wasn't.

Death too soon came knocking on their door and took two of their cats away in the span of just two brief years. Felix was taken from them - gone from their lives, but never their hearts.

They thought they had already hit rock bottom. Little did they know just how rocky rock bottom could be. A bottom which Maple, their newest rescue cat, showed them was still a long way down. Everyone knows rescue cats often come with a lot of past trauma. In a moment of blind panic, Maple bit Esther hard - 10 times! - and nearly put her in the hospital.

Undeterred, with hearts full of love and a hand full of bandages, Esther and her husband were determined to do everything in their power to give Maple the second chance everyone deserves.

Share in the furry hero's journey as Maple - once feral, fanged, and frightened of everything - blossoms into the loving tabby she was meant to be... and discovers newfound curiosity about what a world beyond fear has to offer.

This is Maple's story. An inspiring, heartfelt message for all animal lovers, a true story about hope that never gives up, mutual rescues, and their priceless love.
