A man was driving home from work one snowy evening when he came across a shocking sight. The man was driving down a desolate forest road when he happened to see a strange white box.

He looked inside and saw a ginger cat staring up at him.

When the shocked man got home, he told his daughter about what he found. His daughter, who goes by Provinciallife on Imgur, said they should go back and see if anyone picked up the kitten. The dad and daughter drove back to the forest, and they saw the box was still there.

Provinciallife peeked inside, and the ginger cat gently meowed. Then, Provinciallife noticed there were two cat bowls in the box. She looked further inside and found another ginger kitten hiding behind his sister.

Provinciallife didn’t understand why someone would leave two cats in such a desolated area. On Imgur, she wrote:

“There’s literally nothing out here. No houses. No traffic. The only reason these cats were found is because my dad was driving by.”

Provinciallife and her dad took the two kittens home and warmed them up. The kitten who was in the back of the box seemed to be healthy, but the one who had been in the front was clearly sick. He had gunk on his nose and around his eyes, and he smelled like urine.

Provinciallife and her dad fed the two kittens and gave them a bath. At one point, they separated the kittens for just a minute. The kittens immediately started meowing loudly—they hated being apart for even a second.

“If you separate them, they meow continuously until they’re reunited. They’re terrified without eachother,” Provinciallife said.

The next morning, Provinciallife took the kittens to the vet. Unfortunately, the sicker kitten had to get part of his tail amputated because it was infected. After the surgery, the little kitten finally started feeling better!

The vets said that the cats had most likely been sitting in a survival box. Good Samaritans often put out these boxes for feral cats in the winter. Since the kittens were comfortable around people, the vet said they were most likely abandoned by their former owner, and they had found the box and curled up in it for warmth.

Provinciallife fell in love with the two kitten siblings, and she immediately knew she was going to adopt them. She named them Tango and Cash.

“The kittens have definitely found their home. We’ve put a lot emotionally into them and couldn’t bare to separate them or give them away.”

The kittens are doing great in their new home! They’ve started growing up, and they love exploring. Like all cats, they sometimes get themselves into some sticky situations. But now, they have a mom who loves them and will always help them out!

We’re so glad that Provinciallife’s dad saw the two cats—if he hadn’t, there’s a good chance the kittens wouldn’t have survived. If you want to learn more about Tango and Cash, check out Proviniciallife’s Imgur page.
