Faith was a resident of Saint Augustine's Church in London long before World War II brought the battle to the UK. A mother of just one kitten, Faith was spotted oddly moving her little fuzzball to the cold basement of the church — away from the warm upper floors — on September 6, 1940. The next day, the city was heavily bombed by German forces. Faith and her kitten, Panda, survived the wreckage, found in the church's rubble. She was later awarded a medal for "steadfast courage in the Battle of Britain".
