  • This is a short text prayer for the very small kitten we tried to rescue yesterday. It does not have a name or a sex. It was only less dangerous than a pet virus. It has a white cross on it's gray face and couldn't have weighed more than 10oz. I stopped to protect it from traffic and thought it had ran away by ducking under my car only to find that it was hiding in the suspension as soon as I arrived at work and closed the door. The first meow I thought was my imagination, after that I got some help and it took us about 45 minutes to get it out. None of us could keep it because it was far too young to have been 'abandoned' and none of us are married to Army medical personel. Two of my freinds at work were bitten and had to get shots today. I'm calling it MacGyver because of how quickly it used the available and very small opening in the bottom of my car to hide from harm. We set it free in a safer location close to where it was in danger so the yowling could be heard by mom if she was close by. I'm hoping the hour it was in our care didn't cause it more harm than good.


    Take care little one and find your mother. Stay away from pavement and may nature keep you safe AND out of trouble. For your 40 minute stay in our lab while we were calling shelters only to find they would probably put you to sleep if we took you in, we're sorry you were so scared. Take care little one and find your mother.
