00:00
He was found in the bushes by an independent rescuer.
00:08
She went to one of her feeding stations when she heard a cat meowing from the bushes.
00:16
She immediately noticed that it was injured.
00:20
She pulled him up and realized that half of his body had already rotted away.
00:30
The vet thinks that he was likely hit by a car and was laying there for weeks.
00:43
The vet said that they had very limited materials, so he had to get really creative
00:48
on making his prosthetic.
01:00
I found Taz on Instagram because she posts all of her rescue videos on there.
01:12
I was really looking for a black cat with a disability because they're the least adopted.
01:20
And then I saw his rescue video and I was like, that's him! That's the one I've been waiting for!
01:25
Taz did say that she was really concerned and questioning if he was ever going to be able to
01:32
find a home. So that's why I was willing to travel so far to go over there and pick him up.
01:38
So I'm at the Miami airport, Miami International, walking to my gate now.
01:46
And I have about a 15 hour plane ride ahead of me.
01:54
We've arrived in Dubai!
01:55
There was all that time and anticipation of waiting and wondering and excitement of going to see him.
02:06
We're in the parking lot now, about to come into the lobby.
02:10
I am so emotional about this meeting. I can't wait to meet him.
02:14
I was pretty emotional because I felt like I had already had this connection with him before I met him.
02:31
I felt honored that I would be able to be the one to help take care of him and give him this
02:38
really amazing life after everything that he had been through.
02:42
How did I miss you?
02:44
How's it feel to see him go to a home after everything you did for him?
02:46
Oh, I'm so happy. I'm so happy for him.
02:49
We're at the Dubai airport!
02:51
Welcome to your new home!
03:09
Hi buddy!
03:13
You need to check things out?
03:14
It took him some time, of course, to feel comfortable, but now he runs the house.
03:23
If you want something or he wants you to open the door or let him outside onto the patio,
03:29
he will meow loud and make you come do it for him now.
03:35
Hi Shay! You checking it out outside?
03:38
I knew from the moment that I saw Shay that we had this connection and we were
03:44
supposed to be together. He's such a symbol of hope and resilience right now for other people.
03:49
He is truly incredible.
