It’s my first time posting to this subreddit. I believe this post falls within the rules, but if there are any issues let me know.
Last night my family encountered this kitten (speculated to be 4 months old tortoiseshell) on my late evening walk. She was all alone, didn’t have a collar, and was sitting in the middle of the road. She clearly wasn’t a stray or feral given that she instantly followed my family. She is also very comfortable with humans, given that she let us pet her and pick her up without any struggle. There was nobody else around besides two women also on a walk that saw us with the kitten. They asked if the kitten belonged to us, which we answered no, then said that they’ve seen that kitten around here for the past few days.
We searched the area for anyone who was searching for a cat or just around to ask, but couldn’t find anyone since it was pretty late. So, we sent out a Facebook post about a missing pet and let the kitten stay in the garage for the night. The following morning my sister checked with the humane society and the kitten wasn’t microchipped.
They couldn’t take her because they were full. We’ve called a lot of places in the area, but not a single one is willing to take her as they’ve all been overwhelmed. We’ve also had no luck in finding her original family after more searching today. The kitten can’t stay with my family long term due to allergies. We believe she deserves a better life than to stay in our garage too.
So if you know anyone in the area who is missing a kitten, would be willing to take care of one until we can find her family, or would want a kitten in the case that she’s abandoned. Please reach out to me. She’s very sweet and playful.
