We have often heard stories about small animals thrown in the garbage as if they were objects.
But there are also good people who find them and do the best for them. A couple had just finished lunch when they heard a cry.
At first, they thought it was a bird, but luckily they didn’t leave it at that. They discovered a cat hiding in a garbage can in very bad condition.
Jennifer and Jim Yovino were taking a walk through an alley behind the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools, in California, when their day took a completely different turn.
“At first I thought it might have been a bird but I stopped in my tracks to listen, call out and listen again. And there it was… a desperate cry (or rather a meow) for help,” Jennifer told.
“I had Jim give me a “boost” to peer over. We knew where he was, but we couldn’t see him because he was tiny and he was buried in the thicket.”
Unfortunately, the basket was closed. But Jennifer and Jim weren’t the only Good Samaritans on the street that day. Armando, Francisco, Joe, Jake, Brian, and Steve came over to offer help.
Using tools to get the gate open, Jennifer crawled under it in an attempt to locate the kitten, but the scared moggie ran and settled under a moving van.
“He went straight under (to our horror) and then up into the engine,” said Jennifer.
“They opened the hood, reached in, and pulled him out. It was such a relief once we had him in our arms. We knew then he’d be safe.”
They found a t-shirt, swaddled him, and held him close giving him some reassuring pets. Then he started to purr.
“I think he was still scared but at the same time, he’d never been that warm or that happy or that loved.”
They named the sweet kitty Fulton.
The Cat House on the Kings in Parlier, California took the sweet ginger boy into their care and found him a loving foster home.
