When a compassionate woman from Kirkland, Washington, went jogging with her dog, she never expected to have an encounter that would shake up her day.
As they passed through an alley, they stumbled upon an abandoned cardboard box. Initially, she ignored it, but the woman’s dog sniffed out a box, refusing to leave.
Curious, the woman approached and realized it was a makeshift shelter of a tiny kitten.
However, what caught her eye even more was the note scrawled in orange marker on the box’s lid, which made her heart sink.
Written seemingly by a child, the note told a heartbreaking story of mistreatment and the child’s plea for a safe home for the kitten:
“My mommy’s boyfriend is mean to me. desperet for loving home,” it read.
Moved by this touching plea, the woman just couldn’t ignore the poor kitten’s situation and decided to help.
She took the little furball home and immediately scheduled a vet appointment for a thorough check-up.
Thankfully, the vet confirmed the kitten was healthy despite her ordeal. The kitten then received the necessary treatments, but, she still needed a safe place to stay and someone to care for her.
Though shocked, the woman came up with an idea. She brought the kitten to Kirkland’s MEOW Cat Rescue, and fortunately, they welcomed her with open arms.
After learning about the kitten’s story, the rescue staff was both shocked and moved by the sad note accompanying the kitten, sharing in a Facebook post:
“We have more questions than answers, but are forever thankful for the bravery of the child who knew the kitten deserved better and the kindness of the woman who saved the kitten.”
Without hesitation, the rescue ensured the kitten settled into a loving foster home with other kittens her age, where she could recover and thrive.
Despite everything she had endured, the kitten quickly adjusted to her new surroundings and began showing her playful and loving personality.
Hopefully, she’ll soon be adopted into a forever home by someone who will cherish and treat her as she truly deserves.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. This woman and her dog happened to be in the right place at the right time, and thanks to them, the tiny feline got a new chance at life.
Reflecting on the events, I am deeply moved by the courage of the child who spoke up, potentially saving the kitten’s life.
Yet, I’m concerned for their own safety, just like many other people who heard about this case, including the MEOW staff, who commented:
“Yes. This is the very same concern we have.”
The child’s brave act shows that even in tough circumstances, there is a way to make a difference and I really hope this courage will pave the way to their own safety and happiness.
