Person spends 3 hours lying in the grass next to their car to catch the kitten hidden under it, they succeed and take the sweet baby home: ‘I’m woefully not prepared’

Is there a time limit to how much you’re willing to spend in order to save a fluffy baby feline in need?

When I came across my sweet cat, Coco, it took me a few hours from the moment I first spotted her to the moment she was finally safe inside my home. The process started with gaining her trust. She was already hanging around in my parents’ backyard, so it wasn’t like I had to stand around in the wilderness and convince her to come near me; she was already chilling in the garden, and I had all the tools I needed inside. Naturally, I started by offering her food, and she gladly accepted. After she had her meal, I sat next to her and allowed her to get to know me and get used to my scent. When she was comfortable enough around me, I went inside and, by some miracle, she simply followed. That evening, we got a carrier from the vet and took her to get checked. By nighttime, she was happy and clean in her new home. Overall, it was one full day before I was able to call her mine.

Not all hoomans have it this easy. Some spend hours trying to rescue kittens from difficult locations. You need patience, resilience, and a lot of will to successfully hold a scared, stray kitten in your hands. That is the case in the story here, of a hooman who spent hours lying on the grass on a mission to rescue a 7-week-old kitten who was hiding under their dad’s car. The full details are waiting down below.
