Intrigued, Anna read Harvey's story and learned that when he was rescued from the streets, he was malnourished, riddled with fleas and tapeworms, had a broken jaw, and was desperately in need of medical attention. "Because his jaw was so badly broken, part of it and some of his teeth had to be removed in order for it to heal," explains Anna, "so his tongue always sticks out of his mouth."

Instantly, Anna felt a connection with the adorably different cat, and she was certain she would be able to provide Harvey — who was born in May 2016 — with the loving home he deserved. "Immediately, he pulled at my heart," says Anna, "and I knew I had to adopt him."
