Modeling Career
Christie’s modeling career took off when she was discovered in a post office in Paris by American photographer Errol Sawyer.
She gained fame in the late 1970s and 1980s, most notably as the face of CoverGirl, a role she held for an unprecedented 25 years. She appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue three consecutive times from 1979 to 1981, cementing her status as a top model.
A woman stumbled upon a dusty, tattered suitcase hidden in some underbrush
During her commute to work, a nurse from Essex, England, stumbled upon a discarded suitcase on the sidewalk. Her curiosity piqued, she decided to take a closer look, leading to an unexpected revelation! Inside the suitcase, nestled within some foliage, were 15 kittens, each just three to five weeks old.
The bag had been deliberately punctured with holes to allow air in, indicating that whoever left the kittens behind wanted them to survive. Notably, the suitcase was abandoned right next to a prominent animal rescue facility.
The nurse quickly reached out for assistance from Alison Gamble, a staff member at the shelter. After examining the kittens, Alison expressed her relief at their condition, noting: “They are in good shape, though it’s evident they have been separated from their mother”.
Since the kittens were still nursing, they required feeding from humans to avoid nutritional deficiencies. Fortunately, the dedicated team at the shelter is prepared to care for these 15 little ones until they can find permanent homes. At this stage, the kittens are too young and fragile to be released.
“Six of them are showing signs of eye infections, while the others seem generally healthy, but we will continue to monitor them closely to ensure they remain well”, Alison added. Check out the video below to hear the full story of these fortunate kittens!
