Since it's the weekend of Halloween, I thought a black kitty story would be nice.
Unexpected Surprise!
The dog saw it first. A plastic laundry basket, with blankets in it, sitting by a light post. Curious, the dog’s owner went over to look. Why would there be a laundry basket on the street? She had walked this way before many times and certainly had not seen anything like this. She moved some of the blankets and was surprised to see them continue to move when she let go. A little black kitten poked her head out, bright eyed and curious as to who had disturbed her rest! A little bowl of food was nestled in the blanket folds.
Shocked, the woman quickly picked up the basket and walked it, and its mewing contents, back home. She picked up the phone and called the Center, where she told us of her surprising find on her walk. She could not keep the kitten. Would the Center have resources to help?
We put the call out to our foster family network and a foster volunteer stepped forward for this little orphan kitten. Since this little kitten surprised its finder so much, we named him “Trick” and sent him off to his new foster home to get bigger and stronger.
After a couple of weeks, Trick returned to the Center and began his forever home journey. We knew this“Trick” would certainly be a “treat” to any family looking to adopt a kitten! And we were right! After only a couple days in the Kittery, Trick was scooped up by a loving family and taken to his forever family.
