The borders closed while a couple was on vacation in South Africa, and their hotel stay stretched on. That's how they came to notice a tiny black kitten with no one looking after him. more

He was tiny and black, with big blue eyes, and nobody was coming back for him. The couple had time on their hands and no way home yet, so they took him in.

Zulu, a small black kitten with wide eyes, looks down at ground covered in dry twigs and leaves. A headline runs in white letters across the lower third. — Zulu was about this small when the couple took him in.

They smuggled him into their hotel room and nursed him back to health. Somewhere along the way he became Zulu. Somewhere along the way, too, the question stopped being whether he would come home to Brazil with them and became how.

When the borders opened, the trip home hit a wall. Zulu had been checked by a vet and had his papers, but they were told he couldn't fly with them. He would have to be shipped to Brazil on his own.

The woman had other ideas. She tucked Zulu inside her sweater, walked through security and got on the plane. They landed in Brazil with no trouble at all.

At home, Zulu is growing at a healthy rate. His personality is coming in, and he can't get enough of the two people who carried him home. He has no idea what it took to get him there, which is probably how it should be.
