small reminders....to not take things for granted
a couple of days ogo, I was walking the girls for the lunch piddle and came across a kitten who was sitting on a cement base of a fence post looking at the girls with apprehension and curiosity. He meowed, the girls never really noticed as his fur blended into the bricks making him somewhat invisible. It took me awhile to notice him too. After several minutes of watching this cat I figured out he was lost or homeless. I took the girls back inside and put them in their crate as they wouldn't understand a kitten in their home....I grabbed a plastic storage bin I had and proceeded to go rescue the kitten. Once out there, the little kitten revealed a secret hiding place where 3 of his brothers were all sleeping between the cement base and a rotted peice of wood. I collected all four of the babies and let them rest in the small bathroom away from the heat and traffic. They had rough day apparently. I'm lucky in that a co-worker agreed to care for them til i can find them homes, but they definitely took my mind off of my own insignificant problems. These poor little kittens had been abandoned and homeless. How could I top that in a poor me contest?For now the kittens are in a very nice foster home and getting love and good food. It definitely felt good to help though.
