CUCUMBER

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

I had been living on the street for so long that I had forgotten what care and a warm home were. I had gotten used to absolutely everything, but my life became unbearable when the war began. No one is ready for this and it is impossible to get used to it.

Every day everything was getting worse and worse. I found less and less food and fewer and fewer kind people on my way. It was very difficult, especially when the shelling began and I had to hide in the ruins of destroyed houses.

But one day, in the place where I usually looked for at least some food, strange people appeared. They brought food for animals and sprinkled it wherever they could, calling everyone who was still alive. At first, I was very doubtful and thought that this was some kind of trick. I did not come to them at this point during their first visits. But then I realized that they could be trusted and finally dared to come closer to them.

When they took me in their arms and put me in a cat carrier, I did not resist. I knew that this way I would start a new life and everything would work out. And that's exactly what happened. I feel comfortable in the shelter, everyone here says that I am a very calm and confident cat. I can say for sure that this is true, because I have literally been through everything that they can imagine. So I think I will be perfect for any family that decides to take me into their home.
