‘He is chipped, but not registered so no verifiable owners and with the way he looks he's definitely been outside for a hot minute.’: Mysterious cloudy-eyed, matted stray cat proves her resilience and settles into a new home, eager for affection

There is something so heart wrenchingly fragile about a kitten who has been abandoned. Almost as though, a puppy is more capable of surviving the outside world (perhaps due to their cuteness and more universal societal admiration), but there is something undeniable about an abandoned kitten which invokes urgency in our souls.

As it did for our brave rescuers, who stopped everything they were doing to make sure that this cute kitten would not meet a fate that so many other kittens had unfortunately met after being thrown out. It is a truly uplifting story and one that serves to remind us that when something is important enough, like the life of a kitten, there should be nothing in this world that stops you from lending a helping hand. So settle in and prepaw to have your heartstrings pulled on extra hard. Just consider blocking your local shelter's website in case you get too excited to spontaneously save a kitten yourself.

    I took a look at the box and there was sheet, a very little bowl of water and a little bit of solid cat food in it. I immediately called my girlfriend (it was her day off) and

  • Well, well this is one heck of a speedy response team right here. Who would have thought that anyone would have the resources to jump into action at the drop of a hat to save the life of a cute kitten that was carelessly left by the road like this.

    She spent about an hour and a half staying close to the box and trying to get the baby's trust. Once I got off work, I joined in the effort

  • We cannot be sure, but we strongly believe that there is nothing more heartwarming than a kitten getting to finally be a kitten. Not having to worry about survival, or braving elements that it is not yet ready for. Just to live its little life, playing and palling around.

    We decided to name him "Spyke" and that little devil is just the most photogenic kitten I've ever seen. I can't seem to take a bad picture of him. He's just a blessing from morning to bed time.
