Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a boy named Lunga. He loved animals, especially, cats and had a special spot in his heart for the furry creatures.

Lunga spent his time caring for and playing with cats. His face lit up when he saw them chasing butterflies.

One day, Lunga decided to start a cat rescue in his village.

Without permission from his parents, he turned the backroom into a temporary shelter for stray cats.

He devoted his time to caring for, feeding, grooming, and finding them proper homes.

"The Black Panther," as he would call it, was his favorite amongst the other cats. The Black Panther preferred red meat, whereas the other cats enjoyed milk.

Lunga loved watching him while eating until he was done. Panther was the apple of his eye.

One time, when it was time to feed Black Panther, panic set in. Lunga realized that the cat was nowhere to be found.

"Panther! Panther!" Lunga called out in distress, devastation written all over his face. Desperate for help, he contacted SPCA.

Lunga's love for cats deepened after Panther went missing. The incident was an eye-opener for him.

He remained committed to working with animals, inspired by his dream to run his sanctuary. "You can't crush my dreams like that," Lunga said.

Lunga loved reading stories. Every evening, he would snuggle on his favorite couch with his cats and read them tales that lulled them into deep sleep.

He enjoyed the quiet moments. "You are such good listeners, guys," said Lunga with excitement.

After years of dedication to rescuing cats, Lunga's efforts sparked the interest of the community. He started matching cats with adoptive families, giving his furry friends a chance at happiness.

His story touched King Sihhenge of Mgobodzi village.

Lunga's bravery and passion earned him recognition in the royal house. He was given an award for being a hero.

His mother was filled with pride. He became a role model to young kids in his village. With his dream realized, Lunga beamed with joy.
