A man, not a cat owner, discovers a cat in his garage while repairing his Jeep, leading to an unexpected connection.
A man found a cat in his garage while he was fixing his jeep, but he didn’t own a cat.
Steve Hamel, a photographer, was in his garage working on his jeep at the end of last year, but unbeknownst to him, that day was the start of an interesting adventure.
While he was fixing the vehicle, minding his own business, he noticed that a cat had made her entrance. A long-haired ginger kitty with white mittens had joined him for the occasion. She strutted about and nonchalantly hopped on the jeep as if to offer some assistance.
“I’m just trying to fix my jeep. I don’t even own a cat,” he shared the story with Love Meow.
Steve had no idea where the cat had come from, but was quickly enamored by the friendly feline, who insisted on getting his attention and even climbed onto his shoulders for snuggles.
The cat stayed on his shoulders for a ride around the garage as if Steve was her personal chauffeur.
After taking a tour, she jumped onto a crane, surveying over the jeep, giving it a thorough inspection. The cat eventually settled on a tool box and claimed it as her makeshift bed.
Steve didn’t expect that he would get a little helper out of nowhere, when he came into the garage that day.
The cat didn’t come with a tag nor could they find a microchip, so they began asking their neighbors to see if anyone was missing a cat.
“If we are unsuccessful we will be keeping the cat. She is quite a love,” Steve wrote.
By then, Steve’s daughter had named the cat Sally, and their family were completely smitten with her. They got her some supplies and a new name tag.
