‘I've grown attached’: Resident feeds outdoor cat for months while suspecting it belongs to a neighbor, decides to take the cat as she moves instead of looking for owner

Befriending outdoor animals is the best possible way to feel like a Disney character. Who doesn't love helping out tiny furry friends in need, getting to feed them, and slowly gaining their trust? All we need is a heartwarming song and maybe the ability to whistle, and we've got ourselves a Disney classic.

Unlike a Disney classic, however, many of us want to do a lot more than just befriend a stray animal in need. Helping them out from time to time is great, but it is much better to actually do the work and help them find a furrever home.

Take the lovely hooman in the story below as an example. She befriended an outdoor cat right outside her house, classic Disney princess. She feeds the friendly feline every day, and she watches him slowly gain health and become more and more trusting in her. Now, she is facing a move to a new place and is considering taking the cat with her, even though there might be another owner somewhere in the neighborhood.

Should she take that final step and bring the kitten to her new house? Keep scrolling to read the full story and decide for yourselves.
