This morning as I was going to town early, I noticed a group of kids clustered near the creek nearby. I had a funny feeling as we had a lot of rain lately, so I stopped my car and went over to the gathering.

There was a storm pipe partially opened and I peered inside to see a black kitten clinging to a branch! Poor baby.

I laid down quickly on the ground and reached in (thank God I am tall and have long arms) I managed to grab the tail (sorry kitty) and after a bit of tug of war as he was clinging to the branch to save his life, he finally let go and I swung him to safety.

I hurried home with him and bathed and dried him- he is about 4-5 weeks old and after the shock has worn off, he is a real lovebug. No feralness in this baby. I don’t know if he was dropped in the drain or what the story was as when I arrived, the kids split.

I am calling him for now ABK for Another Black Kitty. He is warm, he is dry, he is eating. He has been flea treated and wormed for roundworms. I need to get some more drontal just don’t have the funds at the moment.

he is upstairs in the kitten room. I can’t put him in the bedroom because then he will get ringworm. He seems content to stay inside the open cat carrier that is piled high with soft bedding and there is a snugglekittie inside for company. He is a sweet, sweet boy and I am glad God put me there to help him out…even if he is black! 🙂
