I had a work call today that ended up sticking with me in a different way than I expected.

We were called to a home where someone had passed away. I’m not going to get into the details of that part, but while clearing the scene, I found their cat still inside.

She wasn’t panicked or confused like you might expect. Honestly, she was really sweet—just kind of calm and affectionate, like she trusted people being there even though everything around her had changed.

It was one of those moments where everything else going on fades into the background for a minute and it’s just you taking care of a little animal that doesn’t understand the bigger picture.

I was able to get her out safely and into the care of someone I trust who will take good care of her.

She was super sweet to me the entire time. You could tell she was taken care of before the owner passed.

I didn’t want her in a shelter. Everyone was kinda overlooking the cat. But I felt so bad for it.

I ended up giving her to a really good friend who loves cats and has taken care of them for decades.

I would’ve taken the sweet baby. But unfortunately I have 3 of my own.

Give your cats some extra love tonight.
