On a train, I noticed a homeless man cradling a sleeping kitten. He shared that he’d found her three nights ago in an alley, shivering, and gave her his scarf and food. A note found nearby read, “She answers to ‘Mina.’ Please don’t abandon her,” signed by “Her little girl.” Determined to reunite Mina with her owner, he’d been searching the alley daily. Moved by his kindness, I offered my guest house for the night and helped him search the next
morning. We soon found the girl, overjoyed to reunite with Mina. Wanting to do more, I rallied friends to secure him a place to stay and a job. Though the salary was modest, we supported his rent until he stabilized. A lost kitten sparked a chain of kindness, transforming a compassionate man’s life from homelessness to hope.
