I was driving to pick up my daughter and the cars in front of me were driving around something.... a tiny ball of fur just sitting in the road.
I honked and it didn't move... I get out and check and it's a little kitten sitting down on all fours, tail wrapped around it's body and just staring. I didn't know if it was frozen, had been hit by a car or what.
I gently picked it up and put it on my lap in the truck (borrowed from my dad to move some stuff) The cat had blood on it's mouth. [img]frown.gif[/img]
After it warmed up a bit, it looked around, stared at me while I was petting it and jumped down and hid under the truck seat. I couldn't reach in the tiny space under the seat to get it out. [img]eek.gif[/img]
After talking to the vet they said to leave some blankets, food and water and bring her in in the morning. I was afraid I'd look under the seat this morning and find a dead cat.
Well, she was still alive this morning... still has some blood around the mouth and on her fur... The nurses at the vet were able to reach in from various directions, pull her out and put her in the cat carrier.
Because she's so scared and freaked out they couldn't get her to hold still for an exam. I have to call the humane society to have her scanned for an ID chip... and see if she needs medical attention.
I can't keep her, but someone here at work wants her if she checks out okay.
I'm just glad it's still alive... and still kinda shocked at how many people DIDN'T stop to help.
