I don't know if this is the correct forum to post this is, but my husband is currently deployed to southern Japan and a pretty massive typhoon just passed over them. He's ok and his squadron is ok and there's minor damage to the whole area, but he had been feeding a stray kitten for a few weeks now. He said it didn't seem too feral, but was definitely skittish and he could never get too close to it. It looks like the squadron who was there before him had also been feeding the little guy because he comes around every night looking for, and expecting, food. Ideally, my husband was hoping to gain this little guy's trust, take him to a vet out there and either find a good home for him there, or find a way to transport him back here.
But then the typhoon hit and so far he's seen no sign of the kitten. He had tried to lure the kitten into his room several times before the storm hit, but he was just too skittish and it didn't work. Apparently there's a jungle behind the building they are staying in, which is where the kitten seems to live, and he just told me that the jungle looks pretty torn up and flattened
. So he's really worried about the little guy and he feels guilty that he wasn't able to win his trust before the storm hit.
I know that animals have survived massive storms before, but I also know that in some cases it may be highly unlikely to survive. Has anyone ever cared for a feral or stray that you just couldn't get inside, and then it lived through a storm like this? The storm has only been over for a few hours, so I told him to just keep an eye out and you never know - he might reappear, but he's doubtful.
I've never even seen this kitten but its so sad to me too
. So I guess I'm just looking to see if anyone has had a good experience with a cat surviving a hurricane or flood...or something along those lines. And also can you send vibes that this little guy shows up again?
