He deserves more than rain and cold.

With September here in full swing, rain might just be around the corner for you. Summer felt like it lasted forever, and whether you like the heat or the cold, the fact remains that each year the skies oscillate between temperatures. In the story below, a little white kitten was found outside in the rain, freezing cold, and in a dish full of water! How awful for this poor little thing. The kind person who found him immediately rescued him from the harsh environment outside and took him home. After a couple vet visits the two are housemates. This little guy got what he deserves, which is the warmth of a real home, and a pawrent to take care of him instead of a dish of water.

The poor little thing. It reminds me of the first scenes of that 80s Disney movie, Oliver & Company. Little orange Oliver is in a box full of kittens on the side of the road in New York City. Over the course of the day, each kitten is taken by someone. Time goes on and on, but no one takes Oliver. Suddenly it's nighttime and he's still there, alone in the box. It starts to rain and he has nowhere to go, and he has no survival skills to help himself. He's cold and afraid, and ends up being washed out of the box and onto the street where he has to fend for himself. But don't worry, he ends up being adopted by a little girl who lives in a mansion.

Being a tiny kitten is difficult enough when everything goes right. Kittens depend on warmth, food, protection, and care while they learn how to navigate a world that is enormous compared to them. For a kitten abandoned outside in the rain, that already overwhelming world can suddenly become a frightening fight for survival. Rain can be romanticized by us, but that's only because we can enjoy it from the view of a window where we're kept in a warm home. A kitten's little body can lose warmth quickly when its fur becomes soaked, especially in cold or windy conditions. Without a mother, human caretaker, or warm shelter nearby, finding somewhere dry becomes incredibly important. A porch, cardboard box, parked car, or tiny opening beneath a building might become the only available refuge.
