Cat Rescued From The Sewer Filled With Stormwater

The lucky ones manage to find their way into warm housing or receive food from kind humans. However, not all of them are fortunate enough to receive such treatment.
They must constantly stay on their toes, avoiding dangers and searching for food. They're always on the move, trying to find shelter and safety.
