‘He’s brought me so much joy already and follows me everywhere like a little shadow.”: A filthy, neglected stray’s journey from a garden bed to a beloved indoor companion concludes with a full veterinary makeover and a new, permanent name: pepper

There is no doubt that cat rescues can be dicey, sometimes it is because the cat themselves is a little bit of a menace and is unpredictable to the point where it might cause those around it harm. And other times it is because the cat is so tame and cuddly that you cannot be all to sure whether you are simply stealing someone's cat who went out for a walk and lost their collar.

This story is related to the latter type of cat albeit in a setting that you would not necessarily expect a cat to be cared for. More often than not, cohabiting young men are the perpetrators of catto neglect, not the saviors of cats from neglect. But this group of young people showed that there are indeed some well-mannered youths out there who will go above and beyond for the needs of a cat child.
