Some people are born to love cats, some people are born to love dogs, and some people are born to love dogs but also to save the lives of kittens in peril. And that latter descriptor is exactly what our protagonist is all about. For today we have quite the short and sweet tale to tell you about a person who is largely a lover of dogs, and the tale they have brought with them is not one of dogs, nor is it the usual tale of shelters being full and being turned away from rescues.

It is simply a tale of a hooman who will do what it takes to save animals in peril, whether they are cats or dogs. And through a series of surprising events it becomes more and more so clear that this kind and caring hooman has been marked by the Cat Distribution System as a shining beacon for all kittens who are in trouble to gravitate towards. There, under the care of this volunteer, they will find warmth, food, support and love for as long and as much as they need. Because sometimes love is not about species.

    I was walking the dogs when I heard a loud, desperate kitten cry that immediately grabbed my attention. I followed the sound until I reached the canal, scanning the area. The cry was coming from farther down, and there was

  • Goodness gracious, this is a scene straight out of one of those seriously wholesome 90s movies. You know the ones where nothing truly happens, the protagonist does not really go on a journey of any sort that develops them. But what they do is they end up in a series of wholesome events that happen seemingly by accident all around them and they just constantly help out. Showing the positive power of good will and kindness.

  • Seriously unreal stuff this is. No less for someone who willingly chose to adopt dogs in their life, to become the local carer of cats is quite the turn of events. Heck it almost feels as though the feline powers of the universe chose this person to be some sort of feline savior. To support any and all cats who need a home or some help. We thank them for their unreal service and hope they continue to be a shining beacon for the kitten community.
