Family cat in rough shape rescued and adopted by builder despite teenager’s vague claim of cat ownership, worker says: ‘I still feel like I am kidnapping a cat even though I know he will be better off in a warm loving home who can protect and feed him.’

The Cat Distribution System works in mysterious ways, and sometimes like in this story it takes going against the word of others to claim the cat that is destined to be yours.

At least that is what happened to one construction worker who found himself conflicted when a cat in the neighborhood of his worksite started showing him affection. Before long he noticed that this cat was showing all the behaviors of a stray, other than the fact that it kept frequenting one particular porch. And when the man finally saw a teenager go up to said porch he enquired as to whether the cat was indeed a feral feline or if he was their pet, to which the teenager claimed the cat was hers.

However, it is hard to claim ownership of a cat when they are left to live outside, fend for their own meals and patch up their own injuries. And so this man plucked up his courage and took the cat home to help it heal and serve it up a comforting meal. Resulting in one of the sweetest CDS rescues we have seen in a while.
