Really need to turn off my cat magnet- not sure how to do this though. This morning on the way to the vet, I was driving through a residential area when I see this lady soaking the dickens out of this little white kitty! I stopped the car, rolled down the window and challenged the woman as to why she was doing this? She said the kitten showed up two weeks ago, “no one wants her.” And they were “trying to drive her off!” I was so mad, but I kept it in check and got out of my car. I walked over to this 3 maybe 4 month old white, soaking wet kitten and picked her up. I told the woman I rescue and I would take her and get her into a home. She didn’t say much just coiled up the hose and walked into the house!
I put the kitty in my car (no carrier) and she promptly walked over, lay on my lap and rolled over to have her belly rubbed. She is a pretty girl-she is a flame-point. She is a long-haired girl with blue eyes and she is getting spayed right now. She tested negative and I might have a new home for her tonight- I have to wait until later when the woman calls me back.
Poor thing was soaking wet and smelled to high heaven but who knows what she has been eating recently just to stay alive!
Ok well here she is-
She is home now and inside the stall enclosure which is empty right now.
We know you don’t need the extra work, but are so very glad you were there to save this baby!! (“showed up”….sure right….)
Talk about timing! Congested traffic and you pass the place later on, left home earlier and pass the place sooner – clearly it was meant that your path and that of this sweet kitty were meant to intersect. And while you were on the way to the vet, no less.
Call it karma, call it kismet. Someone above was looking out for both of you. Better life for kitty and something good for you, to balance all the recent negative happenings.
Thank heavens you and that kitten crossed paths! Fingers crossed that she will have a loving home soon.
I really fail to understand some of my fellow human beings! You showed great restraint. I probably would have turned that hose on the woman.
How do you do that? Always in the right place at the right time.
I don’t understand people. I would never take a cat to a municipal shelter (where I live, that’s a death sentence), but I don’t comprehend why people like that hoser didn’t do that, if they didn’t want the kitten hanging about. People like that really don’t care if an animal lives or dies.
Such incredible restraint and control! Hats off to you!
