Met some folks at the AmVets Post early one morning and found myself standing at the entrance while two little kittens were making the rounds around my legs. It was difficult to turn the key, open the door, then close it quickly so the kittens would not come into the hall.
I don’t understand people who abandon their animals, especially those who are too small to care for themselves. Here are two little baby kittens trying to make you like them so you can take them home with you. I planned to do just that and place them in the barn to take care of the mice.
Before I left, I looked for a box to place the kittens and take them home; nowhere could I find a box large enough to place both of them inside and put in back of the truck. I also needed food to bring along with me so they wouldn’t be hungry once they were left in the barn. I promised I would come back the next day and take them home with me.
That evening, I had a call from the commander at the post to let me know the kittens were still waiting for me. I promised to take care of them the next morning while going to the recycle center.
Of course, once I arrived at the post the next morning, there were three other club members waiting for me to get the kittens home; they found a box large enough for both of them to fit in, found some tape to make sure the box flaps were kept closed while traveling and placed the box on the bed of the truck after I suggested not to place it in the cabin. I just knew they would get out of the box while I was driving and cause me to have an accident when they were circling my legs as I drove.
At the recycling center, the lady in charge fell in love with the kittens but she already had two babies at home so she couldn’t take two additional ones; she also noticed the box flaps were not keeping the kittens inside, so she constructed another box to put on top and weighted down with some empty paper bags.
Stopped at the Dollar Store to get kitty food and other essentials for home; there were no other stops to make as the skies opened up and a deluge started. I kept looking in the rearview mirror to see if the bags and box were still in place and was satisfied all was well.
I drove the truck in the garage, picked up the kitty food and voilà, no kittens anywhere. Moved the bags out of the way, moved the cardboard box and no kittens! They must have jumped out of the truck while I was getting their food and never noticed they were gone.
If you find them somewhere, would you let me know?
