I Saved Kitteh!
So on the way to work this morning, I told my daughter, "Oh, look at the pretty kitty!" when I saw a cat on the way past. I didn't think anything more of it and went in to work.

Later, I took my daughter and my boss's daughter for a stroll around the block (a very short stroll, it's murderously hot right now). I decided to turn around and go back... but, AFTER the next driveway, I guess.

Walking past a tree, I saw the sign... "Have you seen me?" and the # if anyone had. I called and left a message, didn't get anyone.

But this evening, the lady whose cat it is called and thanked me profusely. Since she had a direction/place kitteh was last seen, she went there and he came right out when she called.

I'm so happy for both of them. Kitty could easily die in this heat, and I know they would have been heartbroken if anything had happened to him. And the area is RIGHT near the beach so it could have easily been catastrophe.

So there you have it... if you see a missing pet, always call. Even hours later it might save the pet, and prevent some broken hearts.

Re: I Saved Kitteh!
When I was about 15, I was walking home across the city and came across a stray kitten on the side walk by a busy street.

The thing was no bigger than half of my hand, It was between to poles desperately screeching, And looking like it was about to take a mad dash into traffic.

It almost did when I tried to approach it and I had to let it claw the hell out of me to prevent it from running into the street, Luckily it didn't have any diseases.

No way in hell could I have just ignored that cat and left it there.

It calmed down after a few minutes, And I ended up carrying it all the way home,I couldn't keep her though and ended up giving her to a good home.

Things like that are the more heartbreaking because there's so little you can do. And you know their nonchalance and uncaring is extensive.

It happens with children, as well... that hopeless feeling as you see someone not caring for or loving the sweet gifts they've been given but cannot do anything to help.

Ah, I rescued a kitten in much the same way once. I ended up in the hospital with an infected claw cut. And getting up every two hours to feed the wee thing, too.

I finally took it to the vet to get help caring for her, and they took her and forced me to pay $80 to get her back. Those bastards!

That is wonderful!

I have been missing 2 cats now for 2 years and I still put up posters for them, hoping someday someone will call about them.

They are brother and sister and got out during our housewarming party when someone left the door open :(

Re: I Saved Kitteh!
I live in a large apartment complex that has two very similar halves separated by a park area. If you are standing in one area, it looks just like the other area. One night I heard this pitiful meowing and looked out and saw a beautiful long haired siamese...I spoke to her and she meowed back, she seemed kind of desperate...so I gave her some food and she gobbled it down. Next night, same thing. Third night, same thing so I looked on Craigslist at the lost pets section and someone was looking for her! They lived in the other side of the park and apparently the cat was wandering around looking for her home. Anyway I called them and described where I live and they came right over and called her and were re-united right under my balcony. Feels super good, doesn't it?

It can be a real journey of self-discovery
in the act of being bridge-to-safety for
one of these precious kitties.
My family has a long-standing champion
Cocker Spaniel breedership in Michigan.
I never really gave cats much thought
and actually thought of myself as a
"dog-person"...just neutral on cats.
On a trip to the AZ desert near Phoenix
and happened to meet a lady at the open
market one day selling veggies--and free
kittens. They were especially pretty
but I was on vacation and didn't think I
needed one!
Well, the vendor lady told me that she
was desparate to find them homes--you know
what her reason?
COYOTES WERE EATING THEM! oh my gawd!
She gave me directions to the schoolbus
that she and her 2 children were living
in about 10 miles into the desert. I was
even a little nervous about going that far
into the desert in case something broke on
the car...but she said these were "show cats"
and I was sure to fall in love with one.
It turns out she was a professional cat breeder
from L.A. running from an abusive spouse.
He had threatened to kill the cats--so she
couldn't leave them behind.
Long and short of this is.....I found 4 that
were beautiful calico and deluted torti that
I adopted. I had 5 or 6 families from my RV
park go out to her bus and adopt all the kittens
and they were able to get help for her and her
kids and move her into town. That was 14 years
ago and I still have 4 cats from the litters
the 2 females of the "cat bus kittens"
had over the years! Happy ending!

Thank you. I have since moved, but visit the neighborhood often to see if I spot them. I think they probably tried to find the house they lived in before the one they left...we had just barely moved there. My hope is that someone took them in, or if not, that they are still out there and still have each other.

Re: I Saved Kitteh!
It is always nice to help someone. hf

A couple of weeks ago we had a big rainstorm and I saw this little terrier running around covered in mud. I didn't want anything to happen to the little dog. It could have easily gotten hit by a car or attacked by bigger dogs.

He had a collar on, but I was on my way somewhere, so I put him in the back yard until we got back. When we got back I called the number and got in touch with the owner, who was out of town. My dd gave the dog a good rinse and dry and we fed it. Later that day it hung out on the couch with me. Then owner's boyfriend came by and picked him up. I am not a dog person, but that was a pretty cool dog. It felt good to help him.

Re: I Saved Kitteh!
i one time rescued a kitteh as well.

i was driving down the highway, on my way in to the city. i saw what looked like a flattened cat on the road. pretty common site here, though i hate driving over their carcasses. i love kitties. when i steered around it, i saw the bright glint of its open wide, frightened eyes and realized it was HUGGING the highway, out of fear not flattness. so i HAMMERED the pedal down, took the next turn around a half-mile down, and HAMMERED back the other way, watching car after car after car after van after truck after semi pass by, going the other way.

when i got the kitty, i ran over fearing the worst but by some act of grace this animal was still alive and COMPLETELY unharmed.

it pasted itself to my chest and started purring its little grey face off. i drove up to the next farmyard and knocked on their door. a woman wearing a Paws In Motion (local animal charity) t-shirt and was GAGA when i asked her if she would take the little thing. there were a lot of kids' toys in the yard, i knew the little creature would be fine.

Poor little sweety. Soooo close to the brink, and smart enough to know it but too scared to save himself.

Amazing that the person you took him to happened to be an animal lover...

Well, not so amazing. Honestly, I think that pets have an instinct to find their 'owners'. A spiritual connection that leads them the right way.

On some level, kitty knew you'd come by, and knew you'd save him. And get him 'home' to His Person.
