We often share stories about cats after they’ve been rescued, but what about the actual process of saving them?
Sometimes, cats are domesticated and will come right up to you. Other times, they’re feral or frightened, making it risky as they might escape before you can bring them to safety. This risk is especially high when a scared stray is near a busy road—or worse, a highway. These rescues are the most dangerous and difficult. You usually get only one shot, and if you miss it… well, we don’t like to think about what could happen.
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 approached slowly, patiently, and calmly. One volunteer managed to grab the rope, which at least prevented the cat from escaping.
Eventually, they got the cat into a carrier, ensuring it was now safe and 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 welcome this floofy feline into their home.
After watching the clip, please give a round of “appaws” for all the everyday heroes who go out and rescue these cats. They truly are angels in hooman form!
