She even just purrs and purrs at the vet after being poked and prodded. Such a good girl!

Background: Ibu was found in a chicken fast-food drive-through—she was probably hoping for scraps. Thankfully, someone from the Houston dog rescue didnt look away, and she was scooped up. From there, the rescue hive mind connected her with both a cat and dog rescue, and now shes safe and settling in with her foster mom.
