Wholesome hooman rescues kitten under dumpster, worried when she doesn't eat initially, but kitty ends up eating all her food: 'I'm super relieved'

Stray animals are everywhere, and as big as one's heart may be, their home and ability to care for animals is finite. When this woman in the story below finds a stray kitten under a dumpster, she tries everything in her power to help the poor baby. She claims she's rusty when it comes to pet adoption, as it's been many years since she dealt with anything like that. After 36 hours of the skittish kitten hiding in crevices and corners, she finally starts to open up a bit. She wasn't eating initially, worrying the protagonist. But once the kitten started opening up, she devoured her portion of food, relieving the hooman who saved her.

I've never had the experience of taking an animal right off the street, but my parents did. When I was a little girl they adopted a calico cat from the streets. We named her Kiki, but I honestly don't remember much, only that she stayed pretty sick. Hopefully the kitten in this story regains her health.

It's so wholesome to see the people online kick into gear to give advice to a stranger about a stray kitty. This is what the internet is for, for building community to help animals and people.
