'I've always been a dog person': A heartwarming rainy day rescue gives burnt out worker new purrpose as a proud cat pawrent

There are cat people and there are dog people. Some exceptional souls are both. This furtunate tale follows one such hooman who went from dog devotee to full-time cat pawrent. After resigning from a stressful job, on the way home, this caring hooman spotted a tiny, drenched kitten stranded by the rainy roadside. Without missing a beat, they hit paws and turned back to rescue the little fluffball. No mama cat or siblings were in sight, so the kitten was gently tucked into a box and whiskered away to a pet store for all the purrecious necessities.

At first, this tiny feline was mistaken for a "her" and named Hela, but soon showed signs of weakness in the hind legs. A trip to the vet revealed the kitten was actually a "him" and needed some eye drops for an infection. Renamed Loki, this little mischief-maker has since made a pawsitive recovery and now zooms around the house like a true zoomie champion.

What started as a random rescue turned into a claw-some bond. Raised as a dog person and still mourning the loss of a beloved pup, this hooman never expected to fall head over paws for a kitty. But Loki proves love can sneak up and pounce in the most unexpected ways!
