The Wrong Turn That Changed Everything

Spencer from SB Mowing spends his time finding overgrown lawns and mowing them for free. A few months ago, he made a wrong turn while driving to a job. This mistake led him to an abandoned house with weeds so tall they blocked the sidewalk. People couldn't walk by easily. Spencer knew he needed to clean it up.

An Unexpected Discovery

While cutting through the tall weeds, Spencer spotted something unusual - a cat curled up and barely moving. The cat allowed Spencer to pet and pick him up, which was strange for a stray. Spencer soon found the reason for this behavior: the cat had a bad injury under one of his legs.

Searching for Help

Worried about the injured cat, Spencer called around to find help. Only one place said they could take the cat - Edgar & Ivy's Cat Sanctuary in Corpus Christi. The sanctuary's director, Anissa, immediately took the cat to their medical center. Doctors treated him for severely infected wounds.

A Grateful Gesture

Spencer felt so thankful for the sanctuary's help that he wanted to give back. He offered to share a donation fund with his one million followers. His goal was modest - raise about $10,000 for the sanctuary.

The Secret Struggle

What Spencer didn't know was that his timing couldn't have been better. Anissa was actually about to close the sanctuary due to money problems. She had told Spencer that $10,000 would change everything for them.

The Overwhelming Response

Spencer's followers showed incredible generosity. Instead of $10,000, they raised an amazing $185,000 for the sanctuary. This massive support completely changed the future of Edgar & Ivy's.

A New Chapter

With this financial help, the sanctuary didn't have to close. In fact, since Spencer first brought in that injured cat, they've been able to rescue 630 more cats in need.

Esbee's Happy Ending

The cat that started it all got a forever home at the sanctuary. Now named Esbee (after SB Mowing), he's fully healed and healthy. He's even formed a special bond with another cat at the sanctuary.

This chance encounter between a lawn mower and an injured cat ended up saving hundreds of feline lives and keeping an important rescue organization open when it needed help the most.
