On Thursday morning this message landed in our Facebook mail:

“just wanted to say that I saw a small grey and white kitten in the parking lot of Dunkin Donuts last night. He was quite skittish and ran away as soon as people approached. I’m not sure what to do but I wanted to let you know. Thanks! It was chewing on wood chips yesterday so im not sure if it has access to actual food”

A volunteer went that night to search for the cat but had no luck.

Sunday night we got this message:

“I just saw a small grey and white cat (maybe a kitten?) in the bushes at 53 and Dorchester (behind the Obama stone). it seemed shy and hid further in the bushes when I tried to approach it. I can’t take it home or stay here, but wanted to let you guys know in case there was something you could do.”

A volunteer went around, saw the cat, coaxed it into a trap but the cat got out. At least its belly was full.

Monday night another volunteer went back and hey presto.

Welcome to HPC little one.

This cat is safe, fed, warm and loved in an emergency foster home but we have nowhere for him. Please foster for us or recruit fosterers so that we can save lives like this one!
