Here thee, here thee. In times of need, it's dire to heed to the instincts shouting loud and clearly inside us all. Saturdays are for you – whether you want to rest and watch cartoons all day, or whether you want to dedicate the endless hours to perfecting that new song on guitar, learning a language, or working on whatever other productive project up your sleeve, it's all for you. Maybe you want to chill out with drinks by the poolside, sharing moments of laughter and love with friends all around you. Cats are the same, they love Saturdays and it's not just because it semi-rhymes with cat. 

Cats love a listless, lazy Caturday, curled up on the couch, creating all sorts of dreamlands and fantasies in their cat brain's about fresh fish, playing with birds, or getting a sun tan on a windowsill. If you're a cat lover like myself, who indulges in classic literature and cat memes alike, then you'll enjoy this hilarious list below. 

It takes a village they say, and while that phrase is usually reserved for hooman children, the same is very much true for cat children. As is proved by this story we have lined up for you today. Which saw a local community come together through awareness and donations to save the life and support the rehabilitation of one cute cat child who deserved so much more than the neglect and negligence he had been shown all his life.

This story stands as testament to what can be achieved when we all pitch in, and that if more communities were willing and able to support the people who do the dirty work of rescuing and rehabilitating, then far fewer feline fur babies would be fighting for their lives out on those mean streets.  So settle in for quite the heart-warmer of a cat story as we dive into the tale of Steve.

We can't imagine how desperate one must be to find a lost cat. We wouldn't be able to sleep. We would make flyers, walk around with their furvorite treats and call out their name for hours, and if we could, employ the use of our friends and family to make a search party at night. It sounds like one of the most pawsitively stressful things you could go through as a cat owner. So, when you see a post of a found cat that looks like your lost cat, you might be tempted to jump at the chance without looking too closely at the details. That's what we'd like to think, anyway.

But there are some dubious people out there, and for whatever reason, some people like to scam others, take lost cats, and claim them as their own. The cat rescuer below might be going through just that - after finding a lost kitty and posting about it, the "owners" try to claim her, but he sees that the fur, eyes, and even microchip don't match up. He took the cat to two different vets, and not one of them found said microchip, even though the "owners" claim that she 100% has one. There are other inconsistencies below, but could the cat have changed a bit while it was lost? Maybe the microchip moved? Find out more by scrolling down!

We know that it is tough to believe sometimes, especially when you see everything that is going on in the world, but it is true - some people are selfless and good and will do good things. Yeah, we forget sometimes too. But in our position, here at ICHC, when we are looking for pawsitive and uplifting stories to share with you guys every single day, we come across these stories more often than others. Stories of people rescuing stray cats in need, stories of people giving warm homes to pregnant cats who need help, stories of people going out of their way - and with no reward whatsoever - to do the right thing. And today's story is the purrfect example of that.

At only 8 years old, this boy did more good than some people will do in their lifetimes. When he saw a bunch of kids harming an innocent kitten, he stood up and did the only thing that he could think of - offering his skateboard as a trade for the kitten. It worked, thank goodness, and now, the cat is saved, the boy is happy, and the internet provided him with a new skateboard, because we all love it when people do the right thing.
