While I was walking my dog today, I saw a stray cat. At first, I didn’t notice it. I finally noticed it was following me when it meowed at me. I saw that it has been hiding in a ditch. I knew in my heart that it was meowing because it was hungry. I bent down and stretched out my hand, and it came up to me. I petted it and it was the sweetest cat I had even seen in my life. I almost cried because I couldn’t take it home, and I prayed that someone would find it and take it home with them so it wouldn’t starve to death.

Let us pray that all stray cats will find a good home. :signofcross: :crying:
 
I love cats and am the “Crazy Cat Lady” in the neighborhood. Since it came up to you and let you pet it it probably means someone dumped it…in addition to it being hungry. It breaks my heart. Cats are VERY resilient and can take care of themselves. I pray that this kitty walks up to someone who is able to provide it with a loving home. I also pray for the previous owner who dumped the kitty on the streets. May their heart be softened and their soul one day be at peace with Our Father.

A PET BLESSING
Dearest God, Heavenly Father
maker of all living creatures,
we ask you to bless all stray cats
who, with your mercy, will bring joy into so many lives.
By the power of Your love,
enable them to live according to your plan.
May we always praise You for all Your beauty in creation.
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
Blessed are You, God, in all Your creatures!

:signofcross:
 
Lord, please see that through the agency of stray cats, your love may shine unto the world. Through these creatures of your, may souls recognize the meaning of love and the importance of love of neighbor and for God. Utilize them to draw souls unto you in mysterious ways. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.
 
I will pray for these cats. 🙂

:gopray:
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

To the OP…you could always go back with food for the ‘kitty’, I am sure the little one would be very appreciative of you act of kindness. 👍

Why not contact your vet to see if you could bring the cat there to put it up for adoption. A local vet here accepts animals for adoption. They’re caged in the waiting room during hours so owners can see them and fall in love with them and maybe even take them home.

I am a “crazy cat lady”, too. :whacky: I have 8 kitties, all rescues. I agree with Kimberly Cat: poor kitty was probably a dump. Ferals would not go up to you. Remember, there is a difference between a stray, who has been in human company, and a feral, who is “wild” and not used to humans. If the kitten lets you approach, I probably would take it to a no-kill shelter in your area or your vet, if they post ads for rescues. If your area is having a feral cat problem, I could recommend a feral cat advocacy organization to you in a PM. btw, October 16 is National Feral Cat Day.

Hear our humble prayer, O God,
for our friends, the animals,
especially for those who are suffering;
for animals that are overworked,
underfed, and cruelly treated;
for all the wistful creatures in captivity,
that beat their wings against bars;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted,
or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death.
We entreat for them all
Thy mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them,
we ask a heart of compassion
and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves,
to be true friends to animals
and so to share
the blessings of the Merciful.

Amen.
 
If you call your local ASPCA they will go out and put a trap in the area (ditch) where you saw the cat. Or if you go back and give it some food it will be your BEST FRIEND and maybe follow you home. I know you can’t have a cat but maybe you can keep it on your patio or even in a kennel cage until you can find a home for it. You can put an ad on Craigslist with a photo of the kitty in the ad. You would be surprised at how many responses you will get. You can also call around to vet offices and let them know about the situation and they themselves might go out and get it. It’s the end of “kitten season” so now maybe shelters will be accepting cats again…be sure it’s a no-kill shelter. Or you could put up flyers around the neighborhood. Just some suggestions. Good Luck. And God bless all stray cats. 🙂

Indeed. We maintain a feral cat colony in our own back yard, and volunteer during December as Mr. & Mrs. Santa “Paws” for photos with pets. The proceeds go to a local cat rescue, which at this time is suffering from loss of their lease, and all their rescues are crowded into foster homes. I’d be appreciative if you could provide me with any info re: cat rescues on Long Island, as we have several kittens - some of which are “wild” as you say - and they will need homes once they have been neutered and spayed.

All animals of the world have my prayers. We are to be proper stewards, and I think that includes prayers as well as food and medical care. Namaste.

My only caveat, KimberlyCat, is to not use Craigslist! Craigslist is crawling with human vermin who look for animals to torture and murder. Also, dog fighters get bait dogs from Craigslist. I am extremely serious in this matter. There are so many horror stories out there. Just stay away!
