The cat was taken to the vet to be evaluated. As it turned out, he had come to the right place at the right time.

Radia, her mother and sister, Zahraa, run a small volunteer-based animal rescue, Sheeta and Co, in Kuwait to help stray animals in their area.

The cat named Appa was treated for an eye infection and ear mites. They couldn't find a microchip nor was anyone looking for him.

"His fur was greasy, and he seemed dusty. He was flighty from spending time on the street. No one ever claimed him. It was something we expected as pet abandonment in Kuwait is out of control," Zahraa shared with Love Meow.
