3.30pm, at the playground, a Malay kid said he saw a man putting a cage on the branches on this tree earlier in the afternoon. Was this abandoning this kitten that was now snugly sleeping holding onto the slim trunk?
I stood on the handle of a low ladder and managed to grab the kitten by the body to bring her down.
She was friendly with very clean ears. Definitely a home-kitten that was just abandoned!
A young lady called Sheila, who lives in the block facing the park and who brought the ladder as well as this big paper carton, decided to adopt this kitten. She said that she still felt grieved and angered by the loss of a kitten some time ago when she was renting a room in the Commonwealth area. The landlord threw away all her cat stuff as well as the kitten. She couldn’t find the kitten.
We exchanged mobile numbers and I repeatedly sms-ed that she must wire-mesh her door and window grills. I offered to take over the kitten until her flat is cat-safe but she said she would be going now to buy the wire-mesh from a pet shop.
Hope things turn out well for this kitten.
The passer-by’s including a China National grand-parents and their little girl aged about 10, passed positive comments about the kitten in the box.
