Cat lover's deliveries of feline food keep getting stolen, so one neighbor goes out of their way to secretly replace her lost packages with expensive cat food: 'I'm no saint... but I just really hope that it was useful'

A good deed is its own reward.

One of the things that people never think about when it comes to helping cats is how costly it can be. Feeding one stray cat quickly turns into feeding the whole colony, and those cats are hungry. The ones you can take in to your house you can, and then you have to buy extra litter boxes, litter, toys, and beds for them, on top of all the food you're still buying. Then you have to add in the TNR costs and vet fees… it adds up pretty quick. But we don't do it to save money, we do it because it's the right thing to do and if we don't do it, who will?

We don't know if you've ever tried to carry bags of cat food in bulk, but unless you're a bodybuilder, it's nearly impawssible. This is why most of us get our food delivered nowadays. But, the problem with deliveries is the possibility of them being stolen. It's the unfurtunate reality we live in that people would resort to stealing packages, because it's so hard to catch them in the act. If you haven't had a package stolen at least once in this day and age, consider yourself lucky.

In the grand scheme of things, if you stole the book we ordered, we would be upset, but not angry. But if you stole our deliveries of cat food, we would be feline furious. One cat lover, who cared for many of the neighborhood cats, wrote notes all over their building asking the thieves to please return their cat food, as it was costly and they didn't have the money to buy it again. Taking pity on this purrson and, after seeing their five cats look sad in the window, one neighbor went out of their way to secretly replace her lost packages with expensive cat food.

They didn't get anything from doing this, other than the satisfaction of knowing they did something good. We're sure both the cat lover and her kitties purrfectly appreciated this random act of kindness, and if we all did something like this every now again, the world would be a much nicer place.

We hope this story inspires you to go out and do a good deed today. You don't need a reason to be kind. But if you do, trust that it will be given back to you tenfold in the future.

This isn't the same, but literally yesterday, we saw an improperly delivered letter sitting outside our building's mailbox. If someone took the time to hand-write a letter just for it to get delivered to the wrong building just sat with us the wrong way. There was no way that letter was going to get to the right address on its own, so, we took it upon ourselves to deliver it. It wasn't even that far away! We found the address that was written, dropped it in their mailbox, and walked back. It wasn't much, but we truly hope they appreciate opening that lost letter.
