Cat rescue stories are rarely straightforward. To begin with you have to take into account that whenever someone who finds a stray in need of help and they turn to their local rescue, they are almost always turned away on account of them having no room. So the obvious and simply solution to the story is already out of the question before the story has covered any ground. Then you are left with a person who is no cat saving expert, but leans on their deep love of cats to do their best to save this cat and give them a better life than the one they were subjected to on the streets. A tough ask of anyone let alone a feline rescuing rookie. But nonetheless this caring and kind person steps in and does what it takes to help the poor catto.
Only to discover that there is an underlying surprise, sometimes it is a behavioral issue, other times physical, or as in the case of this story you have a babushka cat, in that you might think you are rescuing one, but she is pregnant with four more inside her! Culminating in the rescuer raising their arms up in the air with some form of despair much like a late 90s TV dad would when the kids start acting up.
