The story of a throw away cat  |
| |
| One day in March 10 years ago I received a call telling me that a man was going to shot a litter of stray kittens. He said he had tried to shoo them out from under his storage building but couldn't get them to leave.. I asked him to give me a day to try to trap them.. He said if they were still there in an hour that he would blast them. I brought a travel kennel and crawled under the building after blocking all the entrances except one which had the kennel in place. Those kittens were about 3-4 weeks old and terrified... I caught 3 of them...the forth slipped past the kennel and away Momma stood at a distance watch...then took off with the escapee. I left with the 3 hoping the 4th would stay clear.. I found homes for 2 and kept the third. You will see pic of her below and I also use her for my cat category photo. I still carry a scar on my arm from that rescue. Have you evr done anything like that impulsively before? xoxoxoxoxo | | Athena | | | | |

| | No, I don't think I ever found myself in the position to act on impulse in a similar way to what you did. What a shame the one got away, and the mother of course because my betting is, the mother at least, would have gone back to that cruel man. Either that, or they probably ended up wild. Still, you did your best, and three out of four ain't bad, to coin a Meatloaf phrase! lol. Brightest Blessings my friend. | | | | | | |

| | Mama isn't being spoted by neighbors of the man since last fall...I think she finally died.. She never had anymore kittens so someone dropped her off already pregnant All the cats in that area are fixed or inside cats.. The 4th kitten was found dead on the highway shortly after this happened. xoxoxoxoxo | | | |

| | Aww sounds nice.. I once had a ring neck snake in the house for about a year before we caught the little guy and get him free in the outdoors and then the speckled salamander that lived in our cellar for about 5 years till we found him dead one day.. he seemed happy to crawl among the stacks of stove wood. xoxoxoxoxo | | | |

| | Bless you for that. Athena is a lovely, lovely cat. What was that man's problem? The kitties weren't doing any harm under his shed, and probably keeping the mice away, at that. | | | | | | |

| | Hi raydene! Oh that is very kind of you my friend! I have never done anything that is impulsive lately nor have I done any rescue effort. The only thing that I am doing right now are feeding the stray cats each night. They are our regular visitors now and it seems they are bringing more friends each night. haha.. take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith | | | | | | |

| | I dont remember that i had such a terrific story with cats in my life. But i do remember the situation that, my cat was having fever and had taken it into basket. I was thinking that its just a fever and can be cured well soon, but when i heard the words from Dr that this cat wont live for more than two dys. I was feared and started crying. It was my childhood when i encountered with this situation, after that scene , i never went to hav a cat as my pet nor the other animals, fearing off losing it somtim, | | | | | | |

| | Wow, I'm impressed! I haven't done anything remotely as glorious as this, and I like cats (and dogs and other animals too) and would like to tell you that you have done a really remarkable thing and congratulations for the same! I hope the Cat and her other kitten are okay. | | | | | | |

| | What a sad story raydene, I am so glad that you saved them what a heroic story she is a beautiful cat. I rescued my cat Pepper from the shelter. He is 8 years old. I haven't done anything like you did that day. I am so glad that you could find homes for them. Take care and blessings to you and people like you. | | | | | | |
