What started as a simple act of compassion turned into a life-changing journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. Katie’s encounter with this fragile feline marked the beginning of a mission to rescue and care for countless cats in need.
The Journey Begins
It all began on Christmas Eve when Katie spotted the ginger kitten near the road. Without hesitation, she sprung into action, determined to help the stray animal. Armed with a makeshift trap made from a plastic tub, fishing wire, and cat food, Katie successfully captured the kitten. Little did she know, this was just the tip of the iceberg.
As she delved deeper into the world of stray cats, Katie found herself entangled in a web of rescues, traps, and feline adventures. From setting up traps in the dark to naming every cat she encountered, Katie’s days were consumed by her mission to help these vulnerable animals.
