Sometimes, the Cat Distribution System delivers in the most unexpected places. While checking on a quiet cemetery, this caretaker discovered a tiny, furry mystery. A carrier, four kittens, and one frightened mama cat. The kittens wasted no time claiming their new hooman, climbing pant legs and hearts alike. Mama, however, had clearly seen hard times and wasn’t ready to trust just yet.
One by one, the kittens found loving homes, but the caretaker couldn’t stop thinking about the mama left behind. Through rain, patience, and nightly visits filled with soft words and tasty treats, trust began to grow paw by paw. Then, one rainy day, she finally allowed herself to be scooped up and taken somewhere safe.
Now, she spends her time half-hidden under the couch, occasionally venturing out to test the waters of warmth and safety. When she finally curled up beside her rescuer, even for just a moment, it was a quiet victory. Healing takes time, but love and a little purrseverance can work wonders, even in the most unexpected places.
