With her son in the car, Alex da Ponte had just entered the McDonald’s drive-through when she saw a small orange cat attempting to enter vehicles. She looked at the cat for a while to check if perhaps she belonged to someone close after noticing that it was wearing a collar, but she soon realised the cat was by herself.
Da Ponte told The Dodo, “I pulled out of the drive-through line and into a parking area. I observed two additional families trying to avoid the cat as they returned to their automobiles from the parking space. I then made the decision to get her. She was obviously in need of assistance, but nobody else was offering it. She wanted to get in a car more than anything.
When the dinner came, she even snatched a french fry because she was feeling so cosy. Within minutes, Seats the McDonald’s cat had da Ponte and her son utterly smitten.
After they returned home, da Ponte helped Seats settle in and started looking for a foster home for her. When their neighbours offered to take her, they quickly developed feelings for her as well.
Da Ponte stated, “They foster failed miserably and have adopted her. “So Seats is now next door to us!”
Da Ponte stopped to welcome Seats into the car because she realised she needed assistance the moment she saw her. Looking back, she is so happy that she did.
