Kind rescuer fails to catch stray ginger tomcat for 4 years, one day finds an adorable note attached to their fence saying: 'Folded ear cat has been rescued, $2000 vet bill, is safe and sound, and is living the good life'

Catching stray cats for TNRs is not nearly as easy as it may sound. We speak from experience. You, as the rescuer, know that your intentions are the absolute best. You know that if you catch the sick stray kitty that lives around your apartment complex, TNR it, take care of it, possibly get it adopted or adopt it yourself, then the cat will live a life better than it has ever known. You know it… the cat doesn't. And so the cat runs, and the cat gets older, and the cat possibly gets sicker, and you can only hope that one day, you will be able to catch it and give it the life it deserves.

We hope that every story like that ends like this one. With the happiest ending. This rescuer had been after this tomcat for four whole years, and they have not been able to catch the elusive ginger. But someone else did. Someone rescued this senior ginger cat, who has been living on the streets for ten years, and gave him the life he deserved. And also left a note for the rescuer. An amazing note.

These are the kind of stories that make us so, so happy. There is so much kindness in this story, it's actually surprising. From the person who spent 4 years trying to catch and TNR this tomcat, to the person who actually did, to the fact that the person who did made the effort to contact the first person and update them, knowing that this kitty mattered to them too. Amazing. More of this please.

Yes, he finally can. Living for so long as a stray cat… we can only say that at this point, he truly deserves some rest. We can only imagine all the adventures he has been on. Time to retire and be spoiled for the rest of his life.
