A woman discovered an abandoned bag on a bustling street, with two minuscule ears peeking out.

As he was strolling through the Bronx, a Good Samaritan saw something peculiar. Two little gray ears could just be made out of the top of a rucksack that had been abandoned on the stairs of a building.

The person approached and saw an adorable cat left alone inside the rucksack, zipped tightly shut.

The cat, named Pixie, was suffering from a bad cold and needed to be removed from the backpack. Luckily, she was quickly transported into the care of Little Wanderers, an organization that rescues needy cats in and around New York City.

“It’s unusual that a super friendly stray cat would be inside a backpack,” Lisa Scroggins, co-founder of Little Wanderers, told The Dodo.

Pixie isn’t just friendly; she’s cuddly and playful, and she purrs all the time. She was so happy to be out of the backpack and with people again.

“She’s a sugar-love-muffin-of-faith,” Scroggins said
