When Marie-Yves from Montreal, Canada, saw the stray cat with sad eyes, she knew she had to help. The poor thing was covered in mud, his fur was tangled, and he looked in pain. The sadness in his eyes almost broke her heart.
However, it was not easy to catch him – he wasn’t used to human contact! But she did it with a little more effort.
She tried to find a place for him in one of the shelters, but there were no vacancies. So she took it upon herself to take him to the vet for treatment. The vet said the cat was dehydrated, malnourished, and had an eye infection. They gave him some antibiotics and put him on a course of treatment.
Marie-Yves is now caring for the cat, and she’s called him Felix. He’s slowly getting used to human contact, and he’s already started to purr when she strokes him. She’s hoping to find him a forever home soon, where he can have all the love and attention he is declaring in the meantime; she’s enjoying spending time with him and watching him recover and grow stronger every day.
Look at how much love, care, and attention can transform and reverse someone’s life. It’s incredible what a difference we can make in another living creature’s world by just reaching out and offering a helping hand.
If you’re ever feeling low, remember that someone always loves you and wants to help you – even if it’s a little stray cat. Sometimes all we need is a little compassion to make our lives better.
