Our hearts go out to any animals in need, but for those that live in Brooklyn, the need is often seen with the feral cats in the area.
Some of those cats may even struggle to survive day-to-day, and if it weren’t for the kindness of strangers, they would be in dire straits.
Some of those humans that help with the feral cats do more than just put out a little food; they offer a service to help reduce the feral cat population. Flatbush Cats offers that service, known as TNR (trap, neuter, release).
It was while they were caring for a feral cat in a Brooklyn neighborhood that they noticed another stray. Neighbors said the cat was waiting in the cold outside for days wanting help.
This wasn’t your average feral cat. All cats are beautiful, but this little feline obviously came from a home and was very sweet and gentle.
They could tell right away that she was used to being around humans, and she didn’t waste any time warming up to the volunteers.
When she noticed Flatbush Cats in the area, she came up to them. It took nothing for her to accept their attention, and before long, they were able to get her in a carrier and whisk her off to a new life.
That gentle cat was named Flora, and she was thrilled to live indoors again. She liked being the center of attention and never missed an opportunity to sit on a lap or get a nice scratch under the chin.
Flatbush Cats also recognized that Flora needed some medical help, and thanks to donations, they were able to get her to a veterinarian.
After being cared for, Flora was off to a forever home, where she would find the love and attention she needed and deserved.
I just love a happy ending.
