About a month ago, a stray cat was seen outside a resident’s home in Bronx, NY. He was rough around the edges, staying close to the door, trying to find somewhere warm.

A Good Samaritan noticed the cat who didn’t have a home, and couldn’t leave him out to fend for himself. She reached out to Little Wanderers NYC, a local animal rescue, for help. “The cat was cold and sitting in front of this house waiting to come indoors. We know he deserves better than this,” the rescue shared. Little Wanderers NYC immediately arranged for a volunteer to rush to the cat’s rescue. Roz sprang into action.

With the help of a friend, Roz was able to bring the cat to safety and provide foster care for the deserving boy. He bade farewell to the outdoor life that day and never looked back.

The cat who was named Corrado Jr., was a bit shy and wary at first, trying to figure out his new space. Once he got settled in, his demeanor quickly changed.

Corrado Jr. was very dirty and scruffy, and tested positive for FIV, which is common among tomcats who have lived on the streets for a long period.

With the realization that he no longer had to fight for food and shelter, he began to come out of his shell.

After a few days of decompressing and adjusting, Corrado Jr. let out the sweetest little meow as if to thank his rescuer for taking him in.
