Found my 50 yr. old neighbor out front crying this am; his car stopped end of his driveway almost at the street, a small cardboard box sitting on its hood. We've been taking care of mom and at first 5, and after 2 adopted out, 3 remaining now 10 week old feral but people friendly  kittens, 2 boys one girl. He said the others ran; later on I found mom walking around sniffing the spot where it happened, and one boy kitten who was huddled in the bushes near there but let me pick him up so I brought him in vowing no more bad outside world for you however after about 10 minutes he saw the outside through the glass doors and started crying; ran to them jumping trying to get out. Although he hissed at me he let me again pick him up and I took him out the back door where they spent most of the time however he ran right back to the front near the driveway and into the bushes where I saw mom but so far not the 3rd kitten and so I still don't know which one was run over this am, (I couldn't get myself to look in the box) nor where the missing one is. Just this am they were all fine and safe in my back yard; why did they have to go out where the dam cars are. Sucks to be highly allergic to them or they would be indoors.

I know it hurts so bad when these things happen, I live on a busy street too and have buried many in the last few years. All you can do is to let them be happy and well loved while they are here, there is no way to prevent tragedies like this unless they all found inside homes which we know in our hearts is impossible. Please don't blame yourself, although we always have those what if moments in our grieving. Know that you have helped in what you do, don't give up and close your heart to their suffering. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. RIP little one, the heavens have gained a beautiful angel!

I'm so sorry.  It warms my heart, though, to learn of someone who is allergic to cats helping them.  You are a blessing.

So three weeks later; Vet just called, Mom and the two remaining kittens ready for pick up tomorrow; spay neuter all done. And ...one of their other clients would like to adopt my two remaining 13 week old kittens so they can spend their

lives indoors. Like someone said, mom will get over them faster then me.
