A couple of days ago, I was walking home after a long day when I spotted this cute little baby all alone on the street looking lost and hungry-as a single stray kitten.
It's apparent the little kitten was deadly afraid of me, and sometimes fear makes a cat aggressive. They are always afraid of the unknown or something they know little about (just like humans do)-but hey, kittens are small and humans are big, so you cannot blame a kitten for being aggressive! See? those visible signs of fear? the raised fur and arched back? Definitely not a play-fighting kitty!
The first thought that came to my mind was: "Oh, poor, scared little thing! I have to save this furry baby from the streets." But how could I grab it unprotected (without protection gloves)?
Have you ever tried catching a wild baby cat right off the streets? No matter how small they are they put out a fight and you usually end up being a possible target for an attack.
Epilogue: I ended up bringing a cuddly bundle of purr home! (Don't ask how...you don't want to know!)
Afterwards, I called the local no-kill shelter.
After all, I am so happy to have succeeded in making the world a better place, at least for one little kitten!
Have you ever rescued a cat or dog?
Hope you have a fabulous Autumn weekend, my lovelies! xx

of you put this little sweetie in picmonkey and turn it black, perfect halloween shot. glad you saved it. so sweet
ReplyDeleteHow you do know it wasn't playing a game of hide & seek with some other kittens? Now the other kittens will never find her/him.
ReplyDeleteI am looking at my hands.
ReplyDeleteNo. the hairs are not standing up.
Adorable little kitten.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend also Betty.

I'd have done the same Betty. Here's to a purrfect weekend. x
ReplyDeleteStraight Out Of the Camera? Outstanding photograph!! I especially like the perspective and composition.
ReplyDeletePoor little thing. I suspect life can be hard on a kitten without someone to care for it. I hope this little one rewards your compassion.
Love the pic and that sweet little face! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice photograph, beautiful kitten. I am greeting

ReplyDeleteCumprimentos
I like for acting this way towards the little cat.I would prefered it if you were talking about a little child.
ReplyDeleteLucky for the baby cat you were passing by! What a sweet little thing! Have a great weekend Betty.
ReplyDeleteWhat role model for Life as a whole. You are.
ReplyDeleteAngel kitty! And angel Betty for rescuing this little sweetie.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lucky kitty. The colors are quite nice - the white with yellow tail.
ReplyDeleteAn adorable little kitten Betty, thank you for being a kind and compassionate angel and rescuing this little hissing ball of white fur. Now it will have a chance to perhaps have a decent life with a family, without having to be a street cat, trying to survive an awful existence.
ReplyDeleteLove and a big hug my friend!
xoxoxo ♡
flowers to you for saving this little kitten. Have wonderful weekend Betty.
ReplyDeleteThe kitten is so lucky. Glad he is safe now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute kitty. Looks like she has lipstick on! You saved the day! I would of had a hard time giving up the kitty!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet kitten, hope it finds a good forever home...
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! Nice to see you seeing my posts again. Your kitty is a bit scary? But I love here white white hair.
ReplyDeleteI rescued a little stray kitty when I lived in the Middle East. I thought he was feral but once he settled in (there were no shelters available) he became a cute bundle of fun. Re-homed him with a lovely family :)

ReplyDeleteI would have done the same thing. Scratches be damned. xo to you Betty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for saving him!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you didn't get too many scratches :)
Sweet kitty pic...good for rescuing.
ReplyDeleteNie ważne jak złapałaś tego ślicznego kotka, ważne, że ma dom. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how you caught this lovely kitten, it's important that he has a house. Yours.

ReplyDeleteThat's one lucky kitten.

You are a kind soul.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that despite the "danger" you took this little kitten home, poor thing was lucky !
ReplyDeletewhat a cutie - I am so thankful that you saved the baby
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Glad to know the kitten is safe now.
ReplyDeleteI think I would bring home the little kitty too with me if I found it roaming on the street alone. Enjoy autumn :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! We have 3 rescue dogs. Rescues are the best!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you were able to rescue him. Yes, I have had many rescue dogs. As a matter of fact my little Tater Tot was rescued off the streets by me. I was going to find him a home but he wormed his way into my heart. So living with me is his forever home now.
ReplyDeleteQue gatinho fofinho e lindo!! Que tua semana seja maravilhosa!! beijos,chica
ReplyDeleteWell Betty---you must have that magic touch. At least you did for that little kitty. Bless its heart --and thank YOU for saving it. Hopefully, it will find a good home...
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI rescued a couple of shelter cats. Love kitties. This was was lucky to have you for a friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you could rescue this little kitten. I don't know how you caught him, but you did get a wonderful photo.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you rescued him! He/she is such a cutie and hope he finds a good home.
ReplyDeleteGood job! Cute little kitty. I have rescued a couple of dogs. They were wonderful pets.
ReplyDeleteCaminhar pelo seu blog tem sido um verdadeiro prazer. Você tem fotos excelentes como estas. Sorte minha! Abrazo
ReplyDeletePS: Este comentário serve tanbém para o outro blog que gosto muito e não posso comentar.
Nice rescue, Betty - looks like (s)he'd make someone a playful pet.
ReplyDeleteNever rescued a dog or cat but did rescue a very young raccoon (many years ago) - had to bottle feed it for a while. It became very tame and would walk around with me, on my shoulder. Had it for 1-1/2 years - what a great pet !
Had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend, thank you. Hope your week is going well.
That poor kitten! You did a good deed.
ReplyDeleteI've seen lots of strays, but I've never attempted to rescue them. I guess I worry about rabies and things like that.
ReplyDeleteDon't ask how many I/we have saved...and passed the trait on to my daughter.
ReplyDeleteNumerous cats and dogs and a robin and a squirrel...had 'pet' toads that came to be fed...
Should explain the pet toads...they were not really pets, but had a couple that always came up on the porch...and one of those porches was had about 6 steps up...we would knock moths, flies, etc down...if they were still alive and would flutter the toad would eat them. If we actually killed it, we blew on them till they moved and the toads would think it still alive and would eat it. Never had one that would eat anything not moving.
ReplyDeletefans want to know are you keeping it and what is its name.
ReplyDeleteI have rescued 5 - 2 from off the street. This one is very cute.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall, Betty! I know the kitty was glad it was rescued and you are an angel for saving this cute kitty. I hope it finds a good home.
ReplyDeleteAh so glad you were there at the right time. I love the intensity in the kitten's eyes and low perspective.
ReplyDeleteMom and I came over from Mad Snapper.
ReplyDeleteAs you can see I'm a cat and my mom is a crazy cat lady...we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for caring enough to get that precious yet albeit frightened kitty off the streets
Hugs madi and mom
How very sweet of you to save the kitten!
ReplyDeleteI am here from Sandra's (aka Madsnapper). I love kitties and have 4. Two of those my hubby found wandering around by themselves (separate occasions) and brought them home. I'm so glad this precious little cutie was rescued. Thank you! I hope it finds a loving home.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! What a sweet little thing. I really hope it finds a great home.
ReplyDeleteDropping by to say hello - it's been a while so I'm hoping all is ok with you and yours. x

Good post. I be taught something more difficult on totally different blogs everyday. It is going to always be stimulating to read content material from different writers and observe slightly something from their store. I'd prefer to use some with the content material on my blog whether you don't mind. Natually I'll provide you with a hyperlink on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA few days ago...after my morning walk I saw a little abandoned dog. He was black , with big scared eyes...that seemed to say: don't hurt me...
ReplyDeleteI tried to get closer but
he ran away. Later I talked to some people and they told me that the owners went to Switzerland and abandoned the poor dog. But no one could tel me where the dog was...
Every day I search for him...but I cant find him...
I feel like crying..because I'm afraid He's dead now.
I'll go on trying to find him...for some days more...
xoxo

That's one scrappy-looking baby!
ReplyDeletesandra, right now i think i couldn't make the time to take care of him because of my busy professional life, but i am just volunteering at this shelter and i'm so happy that the shelter does want to find a new home for the kitty!!:)
ReplyDeleteGood for you!:D
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you rescued this sweet little one.
ReplyDeleteYes, I found a little kitten who was so hungry it ate slugs (I guess they were all it could catch) she continued to do that her whole life even though she had other good food...
ReplyDeleteI have been involved with rescues. We've rescued several ourselves and have been involved in transporting rescued dogs and cats to new owners. My wife, much more than me though. Feral cats, no matter how small can put up one heck of a fight with all those teeth and claws. Still love them though...
ReplyDeleteWow what an adorable story omg this kitty is such a cutie!
ReplyDeletemeeeeeeeooooooooow =^o^=
