We often write about cats after they’ve been rescued, but what about the actual process of saving them?
Sometimes, the cats are domesticated and come right up to you. Other times, they’re feral or frightened, which puts you at risk of them escaping before you can bring them to safety. This challenge is even more apparent when a scared stray is near a busy road—or worse, a highway. These are the most dangerous and difficult rescues. You usually only get one shot, and if you miss it… well, we don’t like to think about what happens next.
In the video below, animal rescue volunteers carefully surround a poor kitty who was tied to a rope and hiding at the edge of a highway filled with speeding cars. They approach slowly, patiently, and calmly. One volunteer manages to grab the rope, which at the very least prevents the cat from escaping.
Finally, they get the cat safely into a carrier, and it’s now in their care. The cat was clearly someone’s pet once, so all we can hope for is that someone will find it in their hearts to take this floofy feline into their homes.
After watching the clip, please join us in giving a round of “appaws” for all the everyday heroes who go out and rescue these cats. They truly are angels in hooman form!
