Me and my mother were on our way home from the grocery store on Tuesday night, and a little orange kitten ran in front of our car. Luckily, I saw him in time for my mother to swerve and miss him.
We got out of the car, and called "here kitty kitty" and the baby just ran up to us meowing. I saw a flea collar on him, so I looked at it and it had a number wrote in ink on it. We got on the cell and called the number, and got the address to where the woman/owner resided. It was like 2 busy streets over, and about 2 acres of woods between the road and her house.
We brought the baby, named Pumpkin to his owner. Needless to say, I was SO mad that she would let such a tiny kitten roam freely outside, around 9:30 at night, AND it was appearent he was outside awhile, because he was so far from home. He could not have been more than 10-12 weeks.
I told her, nicely/calmly that it was NOT a good idea to leave her kitten outside, in the cold, with just a flea collar on, and with a busy street across from her house.She "said" that he has never traveled that far before*like she would know being INSIDE the house instead of supervising his outdoor adventures*. She agreed it wasnt smart and took Pumpkin inside. I felt a little better (and yes I know I should mind my own business, but I just cant help it, it was a stupid thing for her to do) So earlier today, my mother went to the gas station and on the way there she saw him on the side of the road, hit by a car:( She said she was not sure it was him. because she just could not stop, but she said it was exactly where we found him last time, and even had a collar on:( He had crossed the 2 busy streets and woods again. I know this is wrong, but that night I thought "she cant care about this kitten, or she would atleast supervise him, or bring him in after dark!" And I almost just brought him home with to keep, but I felt that was wrong and would be stealing. Now I wish I would have. :( It just makes me sick and angry. Poor baby Pumpkin:(
Please pray that if it was him, or even if it wasnt , that he has a good time in the RB:(
