A Fateful Meeting Two weeks ago, amidst the city’s chaos, a tourist spotted a small, ginger furball whirling in a parking lot.
Drawn by curiosity and compassion, she approached to find a stray kitten, his eyes filled with hope. Despite being undernourished and dirty, with one eye swollen, the kitten’s desire for affection was unmistakable.
