<snip>
Being a kitty person, I knew better. I ran outside and found the baby. He was all soaking wet. The house had been power washed earlier but no one knew there was a baby kitty over in the bushes or that he had gotten wet. I cleaned him off with paper towels in case he had offensive tasting soap on him and put him back down and went back inside so the mama could get her baby. After much sitting there watching him cry, she walked away and didnt come back.
I ran over to Wal-Mart, got a kitten bottle and kitten replacement milk and took the baby home. I got up throughout the night to feed him and help him with his toilet needs and he slept in my drawer. That night, I thought, I will sneak him into the office in a shoe box on Friday morning. I planned to take his milk along and keep him in the Administrators desk because she is an animal lover to the 100th degree. I planned to take him to the local animal shelter at lunchtime.
So, I took him to work but as lunch time neared, the administrator started to cry. She said, You cant take him to the shelter. Theyll just kill him. I said, Well, I cant keep him up here and get in trouble. He has to be fed every two hours.
She called the Human Resource Director who came up and saw what we had. I told her I was going to the shelter at lunch and the HR Director said, If they dont have a mama cat at the shelter to foster him, bring him to my office Tuesday morning. You can keep and feed him in there.
Guess what? They had no foster mamas at the shelter.
