In Aubagne, near Marseille, neighbours became aware of a frantic, mewling sound that persisted day and night. It seemed to last for days and local residents became concerned.
Eventually, they located the source of the noise to a balcony and a tiny, desperate kitten. At first, they may have assumed that the kitten’s owners were out at work, or worse, had gone on holiday and left the little kitty alone.
A shocking discovery
But, the truth might just be even more concerning...It seems that while the cat cried desperately in sub-zero temperatures, her owners were inside watching TV and going about their normal lives, callously oblivious to her fear.
But, as we all know, animal people are the best people and it didn’t take long for cat-loving neighbours to intervene. They contacted Société Protectrice des Animaux Maltraités et Errants (SPAME), an animal welfare organisation, and alerted them to the sad kitty’s plight.
A timely rescue
Shortly afterwards, volunteers arrived with the support of the local fire, rescued the kitty and took her to safety.
Thought to be less than a year old, the cat is now safe at the sanctuary and waiting patiently for her loving forever home.
You deserve a great family, little one; fingers crossed, the perfect people will come along soon.
