One day when a James returned home from work, he spotted a starving cat in his backyard.
The cat was very malnourished and his fur was extremely matted, so this kind man decided to do whatever he could to help him.
First he put out some much needed food and water for this poor kitty.
It was obvious that he hadn't eaten for some time.
Then decided to try and give him a bath. Once clean it would be easier to see if there was anything serious going on.
Bathing him wasn’t an easy task, like most cats really, but at least the kitty was a little cleaner and although he didn’t like the water he seemed to like the attention.
Sadly, he couldn’t allow the cat to come into the house because there were other kitties inside but this kind man set up food, water and a bed in the utility room so that kitty wouldn’t be left outside alone.
The next morning they took him to see the emergency vet and thankfully he didn’t have any major problems or sickness.
He was fitted with a collar to stop him scratching his sores and then it was time to take him home.
James named him Gnar.
The other cats in the house were very cautious of him but after a few days they became more curious of this new arrival.
Things were starting to settle down which was very important because he was now part of this loving family.
They even showed him how to use the litter tray, being a stray he had probably never used one before.
It’s such a joy to see people go above and beyond to help out an animal in need and give him a chance to be part of a loving family.

UPDATE:
Gnar is doing well and loving his new life with his new family.
He did have the cone off for a while but James explained that he kept aggravating his old wounds so the cone had to go back on.
Here he is cone free!
@gnarkekomax woke up and found gnar like this a couple days ago my family and I have decided to let him rock without the cone and see what happens #catsoftiktok #rescuecat #fyp ♬ original sound - Gnar Keko Max
Although the cone is always on it doesn't stop him having fun, chasing around the house and generally all the things that cats do!
James has even set up Gnar's own TikTok page - there you can keep up with his progress and all his antics, there are quite a few of them in the videos below!
It's so wonderful to see how far this kitty has come along since the day he was a starving cat that arrived in James' backyard and James is so happy to have Gnar in his life.
