This morning, on my way to see my dogs at the boarding facility, I found another kitten.

He was alone in the street, beside the wheel of a parked car at a busy roundabout full of traffic. The moment that car moved, he could have been crushed.

I think I had already heard his cries during the past few days when passing through that street, but this morning, I finally saw him.

He was sick, exhausted, suffering from severe cat flu, thirsty, hungry, and completely ignored by everyone around him.

I had water and food prepared in my car for my own cats, so I gave him some. He ate immediately.

Once again, I could not leave him there knowing he would die.

Tonight, he is sleeping in my car because I have nowhere else to safely isolate him from the other kittens I recently rescued.

I cleaned his eyes as much as I could, but he still needs treatment, eye medication, parasite treatment, and veterinary care that I currently cannot afford.

I named him Arthur because he looks so much like my beloved cat Arthur, whom I rescued when he was only one month old and loved deeply for seven years before losing him.
