MIRABEL

My Story

My name is Mirabel and I am a mixed breed cat.

When the war came, my life was divided into "before" and "after". I found myself on the front line, among the destruction and silence that was interrupted only by the roar. There was nothing there but fear.

I hid wherever I could: in basements, among the rubble, under cars. Sometimes I found water, sometimes leftovers, but more often I remained hungry. The scariest were the nights: each explosion seemed like the last.

The day they found me, I was already too weak. I was sitting near a destroyed trench and suddenly I heard footsteps. One person stopped and leaned towards me. Then he took out a piece of food and put it next to me. When I took the first bite, I felt cared for again.

This is how I ended up in the shelter. Here I have everything I need and am very grateful for being saved. I am quiet, affectionate and really love when there is a person nearby.
