The trip was going well and Dean had visited lots of countries, but when he crossed the border between Bosnia and Montenegro, a remarkable encounter completely changed his plans!
Little feline traveller
At the edge of the road, Dean heard a desperate meowing: a kitten was calling him! The feline, who was very young, stuck to Dean and categorically refused to leave him. She was very affectionate, and captured the traveller’s heart, convincing him to take her with him.
The best friends in the world
Since then, the two friends have been inseparable! On his Instagram account, Dean has been sharing photos and videos of his life with this unexpected but adorable companion! Nala is growing up fast and is staying faithful to the man who saved her. She accompanies him in all his activities, and Dean has made room for her in his basket so she can sleep comfortably.
A great friendship has been born, proving that travelling really can lead to the most beautiful encounters!
