‘We were walking back so nervous we’d have to search all night for him’: Trivia team comes back to rescue sad stray cat from the streets, names him “Beef Wellington,” and finds him a purrmanent place to sleep safely

Pawdon us while we wipe away a happy tear. This story has everything: mystery, teamwork, snacks, and one incredibly polite street loaf named Beef Wellington. 

Tigers, Panthers, Bengals… sure, sports teams have their feline mascots, but none compare to this muddy little MVP who chose his trivia team like a fantasy draft pick. A group of hoomans spotted Beef Wellington laying down in a dirt pile like it was his personal cat bed and wandered over to say “hey kitty.” He gave one meow and instantly secured a fanbase eager to give him pets.

At first, his new hoomans assumed he was just your average Brooklyn bodega cat, living his best life between deli meats and soda fridges. But plot twist: this kitty was just a street cat. No store, no collar, just vibes. So between crushing trivia rounds, the group put together the ultimate rescue heist. They grabbed a carrier and a cat-loving stranger with a two-bathroom palace ready to foster, then set off to find Beef Wellington.

The best part? He waited.  Hours later, right where they left him, Beef Wellington was chilling with two more adoring fans, accepting snacks like a true kitty king.

Now he’s off the streets and safe at a shelter and looking to get officially off the meowket.
