‘A dorm-wide conspiracy to hide the kittens’: Students save strays despite no-pet policy on college campus, nurturing them for adoption while avoiding monthly inspections
Have you ever heard about a college student heist to save a litter of abandoned stray kittens who were found outside their dorms, malnourished, scared, and alone? Yeah, we neither. But guess what? You’re about to hear this story, just like we did. All is courtesy of the Cat Distribution System, of course the great rearranger of fate for feral felines to become spoiled house floofs. Just as nature intended. Every cat deserves a home. This is just a universal truth. We didn’t invent it, but the CDS is the one mysterious organisation helping it stay as true as day one adoption at a time. But these brave student souls? They didn’t take care of only one adoption. We’re talking about four little floofy babies. They were abandoned by their feral cat mama (she’s fine and taken care of, by the way so don’t worry), left malnourished on campus grounds, looking for the one who would help them. but there were way more than one person involved. With a strict no-pet policy on campus, and monthly dorm inspections, a whole group of students were involved in heisting these smol kitties to safety until they’re healthy and happy to be adopted. It’s a story about bravery, initiative, wit, and a whole lot of fluffy kittens.
