'I heard a faint meow in the distance': Kind Goodwill shopper spends hours rescuing a terrified unique bobtail kitten that was all along hiding in a drain pipe, eventually catching her and giving her the life she deserves

Life for stray cats is difficult as it is. Dealing with weather changes, with humans, with other animals, looking for food and shelter all the time - that is difficult enough. Imagine the same thing for a kitten though. A tiny adorable kitten who is just starting to discover the world. The rate of survival for stray kitties is unfortunately not particularly high. But for a beautiful kitten, for a striking, unique kitten that stands out in the world like the one in this story, the chances would have been much, much lower, if she had no been found in time.

A white bobtail kitten, that is what this kind person found in a drain pipe near Goodwill. The kitten was terrified, and animal services refused to help because the kitten wasn't stuck, she was just scared. But the rescuer knew, the same way that we know, that this kitten had to be rescued, that there's no telling how much longer she would have survived out there all on her own without help. So, they spent hours, sitting there, trying their best to get the kitten to trust them long enough to bring the kitten home.

It does not matter how insane people might have thought you are, you so did the right thing. Such a striking kitten would have been a target for pretty much any and every animal in the area. There's no telling how long she would have survived without help. You didn't just rescue her, you saved her life.

We are so happy to hear that she is happy and healthy! There's no telling, with some bobtails, how affected their spines may be, but this one… at least from what we can see, looks like a stretchy, bendy, purrfectly healthy unique little feline.
