Indeed, the evening walk suddenly turned into a rescue mission.
It all started when Popcorn noticed a paper bag on the ground...
Huge surprise
The pooch went to sniff it and that's when the bag started to... meow! Popcorn jumped back, very frightened and surprised. Destinie immediately rushed over and discovered a small black and white kitten.
She then picked up the kitten to investigate. Fortunately, it was unharmed, but it was trembling with fear: the little cat seemed terrified of Popcorn. Destinie quickly realised she couldn't safely go home with both Popcorn and the kitten. So she decided to take the kitten back to the tree where they'd found it, then go home to drop off Popcorn before running back with a carrier and some treats.
It's gone
On paper, the plan seemed brilliant... But when Destinie returned to the park ten minutes later with all her rescue equipment, the kitten was nowhere to be found.
She used her phone's torch to search the park whilst calling for the kitten, to no avail. She was devastated. After about 15 minutes of searching, Destinie sat down, discouraged. Just as she was about to give up, the little kitten ran towards her!
New life
Destinie carried it home, then began searching for the kitten's family. Unfortunately, whilst browsing online, she discovered it was a stray kitten that neighbours had been feeding for a few months, but no one had taken it in yet.
When the vet later confirmed that the cat had neither a microchip nor a family, Destinie and her family decided to adopt her forever. Everyone is smitten with the new kitten, especially Destinie's 7-year-old daughter. All that's left is to find a name for the kitten!
