Cats

A stray cat joined a walking group and charmed everyone, eventually finding the good life she’d always wanted.

While heading home from work, Meagan, president of PuppyKittyNYCity, received a message about a cat in need of help.

A friendly stray showed up at a park when a senior walking group called Striders was doing their exercises. She decided to join them, happily strolling around the park with them.

“She was found exercising with a group of seniors. Clearly, she just wanted a friend,” PuppyKittyNYCity shared.

The sweet tabby walked beside the seniors, matching their pace. If they slowed down, so did she. If they picked up speed, she kept up with them. Soon, everyone was enamored with their little feline friend and wanted to help her.

“She charmed everyone as she cheerfully joined them during their stroll.”

A worker from the walking club, who also volunteers with PuppyKittyNYCity, contacted Meagan for assistance. “She is too friendly to have been born on the street. She was full of fleas, hungry, thirsty, and really needed help. I happened to be close by, so I went and scooped her up,” Meagan shared.

The cat, affectionately named Strider after the walking group, gulped down a cup of water and devoured her food as if she hadn’t eaten in days.

When Meagan arrived, Strider greeted her like an old friend. After some gentle petting, she allowed Meagan to pick her up and hold her as if she was ready to leave the streets for a better place.

“We are always operating at over capacity, but we can’t say no when cats like Strider end up in our DMs.”

Though a bit nervous in the car, Strider began to relax when she settled onto Meagan’s lap.

For a long time, she’d roamed the streets in search of food, water, and companionship with no one to claim her. She stumbled upon the walking group and stayed with them until help arrived. Now, nestled with Meagan, she purred contentedly as if her mission was accomplished.

Meagan and her team took the cat to the vet, where she was treated and spayed. Now free of fleas and no longer hungry, Strider quickly filled out, and her personality started to shine through.

“She is an absolute gem—perfectly sweet, chatty, and trusting. She delighted everyone at our shelter and then sashayed out of her carrier when we brought her home to foster.”

Strider thrives on human affection and enjoys being the center of attention. “She’s independent but also loves to curl up next to you on the couch and sleep with you in your bed. She’s a petite gray tabby with gorgeous eyes and the sweetest face.”

She quickly found her favorite perch—her foster mom’s lap and melted into her as she drifted off to sleep.

Strider has truly blossomed since being rescued from life on the streets. With the help of the senior group and volunteers, her dream has come true: a loving family was smitten with the sweet tabby and welcomed her into their home.

After wandering the streets, hoping for someone to notice her, she’s now living the life she always wanted, following her forever humans around the house as their most loyal companion.
