I thought of you all last night. I ran an errand, was driving the loop of the parking lot to exit, when in my headlights I saw a 4-5mn old kitten hanging out by the dumpsters. I assume he's a stray b/c he was v. dirty. I live in the city and he didnt seem spazzy enough to think he might be feral.
I sat looking at him thinking "what do I do? what do I do? Catch him, then what?"
I parked and followed him but each moment I got closer to him he ran off a bit more...but not so much so that he seemed unfamiliar with ppl. He might just be lost and missing his family
my baby was in that position until some nice folks took care of her.
Anyway, I guess I'm asking, do you all have a plan in mind? I really didnt know what to do. I rarely see strays but the few I've gotten to know were sent to this great rescue place. As far as ones just on the street...I didnt really know what I should have done.
It was dark and I didnt have a flashlight, but I might go back when it is light out and see if there is a colony out there. I worry about finding ferals that can be caught, b/c their fate seems bleak if taken to a rescue place.
