You’re walking down the street when you notice something that tugs at your heart—a kitten!
A tiny kitten runs up to you, looking for help. You look around for its mother, but she’s nowhere to be seen. Unfortunately, many kittens are left alone on the streets and need help from kind people.
They need food, water, and a safe home, just like any other living thing.
We don’t all have to become professional cat rescuers, but if we see a kitten that needs help, we should try to get it off the street. These little animals deserve our care and attention.
Seeing a kitten on the road is never a good sign, even if they seem to be playing. Usually, a kitten on the streets is in trouble. They might have been abandoned by their mother, injured, or too young to survive on their own. Kittens need time to learn how to find food and stay safe.
If you see a tiny black and white kitten running up to you, don’t be afraid! Be careful when approaching stray kittens. Watch them from a distance without rushing to them. See where they go when they disappear and try leaving food there so they have a safe place to sleep at night.
Here’s an example: A couple on their way to help at a local dog shelter saw a kitten by the road trying to cross the street.
The kitten was black and white, and his mother was nowhere in sight. The man slowly approached the kitten and managed to catch him.
They took the kitten to the shelter, where he was found to be a 30-day-old male with an eye infection that needed treatment. Luckily, they found a foster home for him.
They named him Fabio, and now he is a healthy and loving cat. Soon, he will be ready for adoption to find his forever home.
If you find a cat on the street and want to help, take it to a shelter or animal control. You can also take it to a vet if one is nearby, but not all vets provide this service.
Sign Petition Today: The Cruelty By This Man Is Unthinkable.
A horrific case of animal cruelty and domestic violence unfolded last year in Fargo, North Dakota. The details are disturbing and tragic. The abuser was sentenced to prison, but we must ensure he never terrorizes another person or animal again.
If these options aren’t available, contact a professional cat rescuer. They know how to handle these situations and can guide you on what to do next.
Let’s spread the love and help these kittens in need!
