‘[The kitten was] screaming at the street as people passed by’: Hearty hooman shares how she saved an abandoned kitten in a two-day rescue mission

There's nothing like a successful Cat Distribution System™ story to warm our cold little hearts. When we heard about Pickles, her sling, and her new work buddy status, we had to ask around the office: "So, how did the CDS deliver your cat?" Turns out, almost every cat pawrent here had a tale to tell - and it usually began with "I wasn't planning to…"

  1. "I was just dropping off old clothes at the donation bin and heard a tiny meow from inside. Next thing I know, I'm elbow-deep in a pile of sweaters and pulling out a kitten. She was full of static and attitude. I named her Socks and donated half my bed to her ever since. Thanks, CDS."
  2. "A coworker said, 'Hey, you like cats, right?' That was the moment my fate was sealed. He opens his backpack. His backpack. Out comes the tiniest orange goblin I've ever seen. I blinked once and he was in my arms. His name is Noodle. He screams at birds now. Perfect cat. 10/10."
  3. "The CDS dropped my cat through the ceiling. Literally. There was a storm. Then a crash. I ran to the kitchen and there she was, soaking wet, furious, and meowing from inside a shattered ceiling tile. She's never left my side since. I named her Stormy. Because obviously."
