Someone had left their backpack on the steps of a building, and barely peeking out of the top of the bag were two little gray ears.
When the person got closer, they discovered an affectionate cat zipped into the backpack and left all alone.
The cat, later named Pixie, was suffering from a bad cold and one of her eyes was in poor shape and needed to be removed. Luckily, she was quickly transported into the care of Little Wanderers, an organization that rescues needy cats in and around New York City.
Thankfully, Pixie didn’t have to wait long for the perfect fit. She arrived at her new home, where she met her cat sibling and suddenly, she didn’t feel alone anymore, and she didn’t feel strange — because her new sibling had one eye, too.
Now, free from the confines of the backpack, Pixie gets to live with a family who loves and accepts her.
