He’s In The Air Force And Rescued A Kitty While Deployed In The Middle East: Now He’s Trying To Bring This Kitty Back To America To Give Him A Loving Home
Smithtown, New York. Guardians of Rescue is a wonderful non-profit organization based in Smithtown that helps rescue animals from many walks of life.
One of the situations that Guardians of Rescue truly specializes in though is pretty unique and different from other types of rescue organizations. Guardians of Rescue routinely helps members of our military bring small animals back to America that they have rescued from awful and life-threatening situations.
It’s not only an extremely expensive and complicated process to do this; it can be very dangerous too.
Right now, Guardians of Rescue is working to assist a member of our Air Force named Staff Sgt. Madd, who came across a kitty in rough shape while he was deployed in the Middle East.
One day at the barracks he was stationed at, Staff Sgt. Madd discovered a cat that was desperately trying to escape the 120-degree heat.
“As he gave him a bowl of water and could see he was underweight and his coat was dirty; no one had cared for him for some time – if they ever had,” Guardians of Rescue explained in a Facebook post.
“Over the next few weeks, the cat would return for shelter and eat scraps found in the mess hall, so Staff Sgt. Madd began giving him proper food to regain his weight.”
Staff Sgt. Madd decided to name the cat Stan, and Stan quickly became a welcome addition to the barracks.

Stan is so attached to Staff Sgt. Madd that every time he sees him, he runs over to him immediately.
“The pair formed a strong bond – as is common with those serving overseas and animals they rescue – and Stan became a source of comfort away from home for the man who helped him,” Guardians of Rescue said.
“Then Staff Sgt. Madd received news his deployment was ending and his first thought was of Stan. How could he leave him behind in this place where every day was a fight for survival? ”
“The thought was heart-breaking, and he reached out to Guardians of Rescue for help to bring Stan home to America to live with his family.”

Guardians of Rescue is committed to helping Staff Sgt. Madd and Stan and they are currently fundraising to help cover the costs of getting Stan home to America with the man who rescued him.
“…It’s a fitting time we give back to those who make sacrifices for us, and two lives will be helped by your kindness,” Guardians of Rescue continued. “Let’s make another happy ending a reality and get Stan to safety.”
If you would like to donate to help get Stan reunited with Staff Sgt. Madd, who is ready to give him a loving and forever home here in the states, you can see all the ways to donate to this worthwhile cause here.
