A stray cat stealthily enters a family’s yard in search of sustenance, forever altering their lives for the better, illustrating the transformative impact that a simple act of kindness can have on both humans and animals, fostering a bond of compassion and companionship.

An adult cat and a kitten were abandoned in cardboard boxes in front of a shelter, following the death of their owner. The very bad weather conditions put them in serious danger. Not to mention the risk of them escaping. Miraculously, they were still alive when shelter staff arrived for work. This story is reported by the Daily Echo .

Soaked and half-destroyed boxes

It was in England , in Fair Oak , that a shelter discovered 2 felines abandoned in boxes. The staff first spotted a damaged box at the entrance to their establishment.

It had rained heavily during the night, and the cardboard was soaked and torn. Inside, a cat was hiding, frightened. He was soaked from head to toe. He had survived a storm and strong winds.

A handwritten message was also left inside the box. It read “ Hello, my name is Lola and I am one year old. My owner, who recently passed away, thought I was a female – hence the name. I’m playful and kind, so please find me a new family .”

The animal was secured, dried, and fed. But a few hours later, staff discovered there was a second, smaller box in the bushes. The members of the shelter had actually heard meowing, and they came face to face with a small kitten hiding in the vegetation. Not far from him was a very damaged cardboard box, accompanied by a second handwritten message. We could read that the feline was named Bink and was 4 months old.

“ The kitten is very light, so it looks like her box flew into the bushes due to the horrible weather last night and this morning ,” the shelter shared in a Facebook post .

Bink was very thin and weak. It was a miracle that he survived. He was taken care of and the two felines were seen by a veterinarian. They were then welcomed by one of the shelter employees, because there was no longer any room in the establishment.

The staff wanted to show their dissatisfaction and send a message: “ If you are really desperate, at least wait until a rescue center is open and hand them over to someone. Don’t leave them in an unprotected cardboard box in the dark on a wet, stormy night! »
