Sometimes the sweetest rescues are the scariest, and we do not know what is scarier than a bus screaming at you. Thank goodness for brave cat rescuers, that's all we can say.

Situations of the paranormal sort are not commonly come across in the world of feline rescues. But in this story we do actually have some sort of interaction with the netherworld. At least figuratively in our minds seeing as this story starts with a bush that screams like a kitten in peril. Which if we happened to walk past it would make us feel in peril too. But thankfully it did not deter this cat lover who walked passed it, and if anything motivated them to get stuck in and save the kitten who was calling out for help.

And thankfully what they pulled out of the bush was indeed a kitten and they went on to live a sweet and safe life together. So the moral of the story is that sometimes you need to ignore your better judgement and just save a life when it is needed.

  • We have to say this is quite the creepy/scary one, and we do not know how we would have reacted in the same situation. Like how are you meant to handle such a situation, we would be scared that it was the demon soul of a cat that would impound us in heck if we saw its face. But that is the nature of a feline fanatic, they will do whatever it takes to even just potentially save a catto’s life. Luckily in this case such bravery most certainly paid off and we are so grateful for brave rescuers like this one.

  • Well, well, what a turn of events this has become. What does your life have to come to in order to get stuck in a bush at such a young age? Like what travesties do you have to endure in order to get to such a point in life? We hesitate to even imagine what it takes. But one thing we do know is that this kitten is amongst one of the incredibly lucky ones. To have found for itself such a sweet and caring rescuer is one of the luckiest things that can happen to an abandoned kitten, and this one is most certainly a keeper.

    she should, she wasn't interested in water so I started mixing some water in her food which was some dry kibble that had been soaking in water and some wet food
