Many stray cats lead perfectly fine lives outdoors, thanks to the compassionate souls who look out for them. 

However, when winter rolls around, life for these outdoor felines can become quite challenging. The star of today’s tale can attest to that.

Allow me to introduce you to Baron, the elusive stray cat who one day decided to swap the harsh and cold street life for the comfort of indoor living.

After a lengthy absence, he’d suddenly show up again, often spotted chasing birds on someone’s roof.

One day, a 10-year-old girl from the neighborhood posted his picture, seeking help to locate him so she and her mom could foster Baron.

However, as the temperatures plummeted, and Baron grew hungrier by day, he eventually walked right into one of the traps. This marked the end of his street life!

Fortunately, he had no major health problems, which meant he could live a life like any other cat, albeit with a shorter life expectancy.

He was also very friendly, curious, and extremely good with other people. As his rescue pointed out:

After two long years living on the streets, this adorable furball finally got his chance to relish the best of indoor feline life—and we couldn’t be happier for him!
