Angela Reynolds
"Tinkerbell was delivering her puppies by Cesarean section at Hobart Animal Hospital when a man brought in three abandoned kittens," Angela Reynolds tells Paw Nation from her home in Tasmania, Australia. The tiny kittens were just days old and very wet and cold. They had been found under the man's house. When Reynolds learned the hospital was going to euthanize the kittens, she intervened. "I said, 'No, I won't allow that. I'll take them home,'" Reynolds told us.
When Tinkerbell awoke from her surgery, Reynolds rolled the newborn puppies and orphaned kittens in a towel together and presented the bundle to Tinkerbell. "She accepted them straight away," says Reynolds. "Tinkerbell is a wonderful mother. She treats them all the same. If a kitten cries, she runs to them. If a puppy cries, she runs to them."
Reynolds is unable to work due to disabilities but has chosen to share the the little money she gets from public assistance with the animals she rescues. Tinkerbell, in fact, was rescued by Reynolds 18 months ago. "Various people had used her for breeding and gotten rid of her once they got a litter out of her," says Reynolds.
