The world is full of compassionate souls and it’s incredibly inspiring to witness the stories of how they’ve made a difference in the lives of stray cats.
Brad is famously known as “Crazy Cat Man”, but don’t be fooled, there’s so much more to this guy than just his funny nickname. Behind it lays a big heart and even bigger love for his furry friends!
One day Brad witnessed a heart-breaking scene that changed his life forever.
He came to a playground near his place and spotted an abandoned calico kitten hiding underneath it. No one dared to rescue the poor thing, it seemed like no one cared.
This made Brad extremely sad. Deep in his heart, he knew he was destined to be her savior. Recalling the moment with tears in his eyes, he shared:
“I just knew that if I could get my hands on her I could change her life for her. No one took the time and effort to take care of her I could tell so badly she wanted someone to be with and she wanted someone to help her. I wanted to be the one to do it.”
Day by day, Brad returned and nervously watched the little one as she tiptoed toward a road, where cars sped by and danger was inevitable.
He tried to lure her by leaving some food and water nearby, but she would cautiously approach it only to retreat as he came closer.
Refusing to give up, Brad came up with a plan. He moved the food and water to a safer spot, patiently waiting for the kitten’s approach. His plan worked perfectly as he finally managed to scoop her up in his arms. He recalled:
“It was a great feeling when I grabbed her. There was no resistance. I could just tell that, for one, it was a successful rescue, and two, it was the beginning of a beautiful life for both her and myself.”
The caring man brought the kitten to his house. To his delight, she was so affectionate and playful, and they started bonding immediately. That’s when Brad realized that she had found her forever place by his side, sharing:
“She was becoming so comfortable and happy, I decided that the place for her to be was with me.”
Although he didn’t plan to adopt a pet, as he already had a gray tabby cat named Tom, Brad couldn’t resist the little lady’s charm. He knew that when the cat picks you, you just have to go with the flow.
He named her April and the two formed an instant bond. However, it was April’s connection with Tom that was truly heartwarming.
Not only did Tom welcome April with open paws, but he enjoyed her presence so much that they became inseparable. Brad shared:
“Immediately her and Tom connected. Tom took care of her 24 hours a day. He was always with her. He would do everything a mother cat would do… She wanted to be with Tom all the time and Tom was there for her all the time.”
Watching the two felines enjoy each other’s company melted Brad’s heart. It seemed as if fate brought them together, like they were long-lost buddies finally reunited after years of being apart. Every thought of finding April another home was now forever gone.
Once a tiny, vulnerable kitten, April grew into a beautiful, cherished member of Brad’s family. As he watched her blossoming, he couldn’t help but smile and say:
“We’re incredibly happy to have her and every day it’s a joy to be around her. I am totally a crazy cat man!”
Brad keeps his Facebook page buzzing with updates on April’s new life in his home. He also entertains his followers with funny cat memes, all the while sharing his deep love for the sweet creatures who captured his heart.
April’s transformation from a lonely kitten to a beloved member of Brad’s family is incredibly inspiring as it reminds us that simple acts of kindness can make a huge difference.
Brad truly is the ultimate Crazy Cat Man, but in my eyes, he’s nothing short of a Cat Hero!
