A kitty kats luck:)

If this was not a moment of "Fate", then I don't know what is...
Last night while pulling into Walgreens, my husband noticed a young cat in the bushes of a landscaped "island" next to the plaza, right off of Van Buren/Estrella Pkway. Let me add, this is a BUSY intersection. With the love & concern we both share for animals we had to try & handle her, so that we could give her safety & shelter.

The next 40 minutes were just incredible!

As we are walking to her, there she is...about 6 months old, female, black w/faint calico markings & a white chest, rubbing on the bushes, talking to us (meow meow meow) and doing the whole "I want you to pet me, but you can't touch me" walk:) Well, as we are getting cozy on the rocks to coarse her over & figure out our "who will run home & get the cat carrier" plan...a car drives up with a couple inside. We are asked (with smiles on their faces) "Are you trying to catch a black cat with a white chest because we have been feeding her & are very worried about her"?! They continue to park their car, introduce each other and then "fate". They had a trap in their car & it just so happened to be feeding time!!!

I cannot explain the joy & amazement we ALL felt. Us for the fact that we were wondering: how are we going to do this & keep her safe from running into the street, will we find someone who will take care of her (after we fix her) the way a family companion should be cared for and for the other couple-joy. Though they had the trap, their joy of having another couple there to help them with her trapping and sharing the same concerns:)

So we set the trap, put in a yummy can of wet cat food and with Little Miss Kitty (I named her:)) watching the entire time, we set the trap in the middle of the island. After a few sniffs and a couple of circles around the trap, SHE WENT IN! We covered the trap (to calm her) and loaded it up into the couples car. She was startled and scared but is now a member of a wonderful home!

The couple has a ranch with other pets that have been inherited through needing rescue (I think that is the story we ALL share) and they will be spaying Little Miss Kitty. We traded information & have already communicated this morning and have been invited to visit kitty, which we will definitely be doing:)

I, truly, believe this was "one of those moments"...Little Miss Kitty was meant to be part of her new home.

Little Miss Kitty didn't ask to be left outside to wander on her own, but now she will never be left wondering where home is:)

I am elated with this experience!!! I will keep you posted on her adjustment & spay!
