George took me back this afternoon and now I wished he hadn’t. The kitten did not make it and I know the person was home, but he/she wouldn’t come to the door. The front window as open (no screen) on the window big enough for a cat to come and go, so I found my way around the trash piled there and peeked into the house hoping to see someone. All I saw were cats and there were so many of them! They all looked sick- across from the window as a refrigerator and it was just black with grime and really nasty. Whoever lives there is in harm’s way as are the cats and dogs. But we couldn’t find an address anywhere so I can’t report the place without a solid address. George looked for even a mailbox but there was nothing there to indicate a street address. I am going to call the state troopers and find out if anything can be done to check on the welfare of the person inside. I got the heebee jeebees just knocking on the door and was so glad George was there as he had my back.

OMG that is so sad, and forgive me and I hate to say it but thank goodness that poor little kitty didn’t make it because now it is in a loving place in the hands of God. Just so sad it did not know what joy it would have had being loved. I pray that someone can find their way to the house and all that live there, cats and whomever get help.
You know Sue,
Forgive me as well, but that was my first thought. This kitten is much better off now then before. As before, I saw a few kittens crawling out through the trash- but again, I can get in trouble if I just start scooping them up and getting them the hell out of Dodge. I have to wait and talk to the troopers and see what can be done.
Such a short life that kitten had, filled with hunger, pain and fear. That’s not fair. But there’s only so much we can, especially when it’s much easier for people to make misery – even unintentionally, than it is to make comfort.
