UK Cat lover finds defenseless black kitten while solo hiking in New Zealand, she carries the feral baby over 75 kilometers to safety: ‘Kindness can turn a long walk into an extraordinary shared adventure’

It's not every day you find a new kitten while hiking in a different country. The Cat Distribution System really can reach you anywhere.

If you thought going on vacation would help you escape your feline fate from the CDS, you would be sorely mistaken. The CDS is everywhere at all times, and it doesn't care whether you have space in your suitcase to bring home a new kitten or not. It doesn't even care if you didn't bring a suitcase at all, like this solo hiker and cat mom in our Meownday story below. She's from the UK, but went for a trip to New Zealand to get some serious hiking done. But, while passing through some dense forest, an abandoned black kitten found her, and after watching her closely for some time, decided to approach her.

She couldn't leave the defenseless baby out in the bush alone, so she fashioned a homemade travel pack for them and carried the feral feline over 75 kilometers over three days to get to safety. Now that is commitment! She did not end up taking the cat home, but the kitten did get checked up at a local veterinarian's office and is now ready to be adopted. We're sure this tiny kitten will be feral no longer very soon!

In the end, it seems that the universe didn't want her to be completely alone for her long journey through the mountains. Although it may only be a short time in her life, she changed this cat's life in such a drastic way. Not only did she bring it to safety, but hopefully, it will be loved every day from this day forward.
