Most cat rescues are complicated, thankfully this one is rather less. You see, in most cases, the Cat Distribution System needs to see that the would-be pawrent has what it takes to care for a kitten. That means determination, cunning and patience, all the qualities it takes to get a cat out of its hiding place in your walls.

But in this case the CDS knew that trick would not work, namely because we are talking about a dog lover who would likely not go to the effort initially, but only because they needed converting. Which is exactly what happened when this doggo doter 'stumbled' upon a cute kitten dressed in a fancy sweater in the sweltering heat. And before she knew it, she became a cat momma and never looked back. The CDS never ceases to amaze with its unending power and potential to find the right home for the right cat child.

  • Holy tuna fish salad, the naivety of children is truly astonishing sometimes. To be more focused on dressing up the little thing to look cute and eye catching, rather than to seek to serve its most base needs is rather mortifying in the eyes of an adult, which we are all lucky that there was one present who could put this sweater wearing madness to an end.

  • While the ‘skateboard dumpster life’ might be a rather rough, if accurate depiction of the situation that this poor catto found himself in, we are just delighted to see that yet another feline soul has been saved. And best of all in doing so has converted yet another doggo doter to the feline side of life.
