: A little bit of background: I am a first-time homeowner in New Orleans. Two months after closing, Hurricane Ida hit our community and flooded my home. Since the entire city did not have power for 9 days, I slept on my front lawn. After the first night alone, Kitty showed up at my place searching for food. It seemed like he had weathered the storm in the elements and desperately needed food. I fed him one can of Tuna and he never left my side. I'd like to think I saved him, but in all honesty, he saved me during a really difficult time.
