When Lucky was found abandoned in Bukit Batok about 4 years ago, she was a still a young cat. Aunty, an old lady in her 70s, had been feeding Lucky since then. She could not keep Lucky at home because she had 3 cats. One of them was especially hostile towards Lucky. Aunty said Lucky appeared with a "chopped" off paw one day. Despite not given proper treatment, Lucky's wound healed leaving her with a stump where the paw used to be and she walked around with a limp. She had also made herself a resident community cat outside Aunty's ground floor unit. Aunty took good care of Lucky. On rainy days, especially during the monsoon season, she would place a carton box and umbrella outside for Lucky to shelter her from the rain. Lucky never wandered away and would always remain outside Aunty's home or the playground in front of it.

In early July, Lucky suddenly went missing. Aunty searched for Lucky for many days and even checked with the Town Council if they had caught Lucky. Another caregiver also helped to check with SPCA and AVA. Aunty was heartbroken when there was no news of Lucky and she had many sleepless nights. A few days ago, a caregiver from Jurong East posted about a cat with a missing paw found there. The other caregiver from Bukit Batok who had helped Aunty saw the post and recognised the cat as Lucky. To keep Lucky safe off the streets, she was fostered temporarily by a caregiver in Jurong West. Aunty finally had a reunion with Lucky last evening and she was overjoyed.

It remains a mystery how Lucky ended up in Jurong East from Bukit Batok. Lucky is going to a permanent foster home where she will be safe from the harsh life of a stray. As Aunty parted ways with Lucky, she quietly dabbed her tears and was silent throughout the journey home.

If there is anyone keen on adopting Lucky, she has a lovely temperament and is affectionate and absolutely trusting towards anyone
