Cats are graceful and clever, often surprising us with their innate abilities to survive and thrive on the streets. But sometimes, just like humans, cats can be a bit oblivious. It’s especially difficult for kittens to take care of themselves when there is no human or mother to help them. They are forced to learn on their own how to navigate the harsh world by finding food and water, along with keeping themselves safe. This story focuses on one little kitten who was overwhelmed by the world around her and needed a helping hand.
A young Ginger and white kitten had made her way to a busy road. She sat close to the middle lane as traffic whizzed around her. The loud noises and impending dangers didn’t deter her. She was content with grooming herself while waiting for the opportunity to cross the street. She didn’t realize how close she was to getting hit.
A man tried to intervene, but she simply ran away. Soon, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a stray dog make his way over. The dog, confused by the kitten’s nonchalant response to her situation, watched in awe. He couldn’t fathom why the kitten remained in such a dangerous spot.
He had enough! The dog trotted over to the kitten and began to nudge her, hoping to guide her to the sidewalk. But the little one didn’t budge. Knowing it was only a matter of time before she was struck by a car, the dog picked the kitten up by her nape and carried her to safety.
Once they were both on the sidewalk, the dog watched over the kitten to make sure she didn’t run back into the street. His loyalty and big heart saved the day! Of course, the furry youngster, who did her best to care for herself, was grateful. She had no idea how to save herself, but the dog knew exactly what to do.
This bill offers a beacon of hope – barring people convicted of animal cruelty from ever working with or owning animals again.
This story, filmed in its entirety, is a clear reminder that kittens can rarely survive on their own. If you see one in distress, please call for help. This kitten’s life was spared but not all are this lucky.
