While driving home from dinner one warm Sunday summer night, a CC4C member nearly ran over a 3-week-old kitten huddled in the middle of Bancroft Street. Panicked, thinking it was dead, she stopped—but found it alive and sleeping quietly as cars drove unknowingly over it. Putting it gently inside her sweater, she found five more siblings waddling nearby in a parking lot. She placed them one by one in her sweater, drove home, and returned with a carrier full of the kittens and a trap—to catch mama cat. Two hours later—success! Mama cat was trapped. And two months later—all were adopted to loving homes. The mama cat who is feral, is still called “Mama.” She’s spayed now and with her foster mom and dad in her forever home. They couldn’t bear to put her back outside in the cold again and wanted to give her the home she desperately needed.
