🇺🇸 In 2010, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jesse Knott met a gray tabby kitten at his base in southern Afghanistan. The kitten had been mistreated, appearing with paint on his fur, shaved patches and an injured paw. Jesse took him into his office and named him Koshka. Months later, a suicide bombing killed two of Jesse’s close friends. Devastated and struggling to find hope, he found comfort in the little cat he had rescued. Koshka purred, rubbed his head against Jesse and gently touched his face with a paw, refusing to leave him alone in his darkest moments. Determined to give Koshka a safe future, Jesse arranged for a courageous Afghan interpreter to transport him to Kabul. His parents paid nearly $3,000 to fly the cat to Oregon. Koshka settled into their family home and was named the ASPCA’s 2013 Cat of the Year.🥰🧡
