If you follow Ryan Adams on Twitter, you’re well aware of his love for cats (and Godzilla) and now, he’s taking action when he stumbled upon a stray cat in an Auckland, New Zealand cemetery as he took a stroll around the town to relieve the effects of jetlag after a long trip. Adams came across the cat at Symonds Street Cemetery and immediately put it out on his Twitter account that the little guy needed a home.

After Adams fed the cat and spent some time with it, enter hero Rob Isaac, who will be a recurring character throughout this story. Isaac reached out about setting up a way to rescue the cat, and as you’ll see, the two went back and forth for most of the night trying to locate and rescue the cat. 

Rob she’s right there by the food bowls- right side of path by a grave- thru the gate by the bathrooms & bus stop https://t.co/wG7xC9lG5q

@rmi OMG That’s her… Just let her come to you. It took 5 min. Just sit and hold out your hand. That’s all I did

With the first night’s attempts unsuccessful, Adams’ monitor engineer returned to the park in the morning to feed the cat once again. Isaac, along with a few others, reached out again about setting up a trap.

The saga continues, with hopefully a resolution coming soon. The story seems to be gaining local traction and it looks like the #CemeteryCat (a worldwide trend last night) will have a home very soon.
