I've gotten over 40 cats off the street into no-kill shelters or homes. Two of those taken into homes were mine. I dunno, cats just find me. The last rescue was 2 days before Hurricane Sandy. Someone apparently dumped a 3 week old baby kitten in the backyard. I heard it crying, immediately realized it was a baby kitten distress cry and ran down to get it. I took it to a pet store I knew (all shelters were full or not answering their phone) who would keep it until it was of an adoptable age and then adopt it out.

How anyone could have dumped that adorable kitten is beyond me. And how anyone could have abused that poor pup until it was so terrified of humans is beyond belief. I surely would have visited a great deal of wrath on that subhuman, given the opportunity. I am sure that the subhuman who abused that baby dog would have to undergo an entire gauntlet of horrific and wholly deserved beatdown from enraged FReepers!

Very nice of you to do, and I love cats.

I imagine you knew this wasn’t the situation with your backyard kitten, but at that age, in a likely kitten-stashing place,a mother kitty could sometimes be in the midst of moving them to a new hideaway.
