Hello Kitty! Rescued a homeless animal - #14 of 45

A couple of week-ends ago I went to an assistant principal conference in Austin.  Our school's admin intern, Jinger, went with me.  One night we were leaving to go find a Starbucks when Jinger noticed a kitten in the parking lot of the hotel.  Of course I have to go check it out.  There was the sweetest little black and white (although she was so dirty the white fur was gray).  The mama cat was there too.  I sat and tried to get this wild kitten to come to me and she really did get fairly close.  About that time, Laurie, that works with hotel security stopped and told us that was the hotel cat she had been feeding for years and was a horrible mama!  I told her I wanted the kitten, so she went and found an old rusty beaver looking trap to catch this kitten.  It worked but the kitten was not happy at all.  We then put the cage on a service cart with a towel over the cage and headed up the service elevator to our room.  Jinger could not believe we were moving this wild animal through a hotel.  The kitten not in love with us at all as she banged her paws against the cage and hissed like a snake.  We just left her alone and the next morning she let me hold her.  Our conference was over at noon and we began transporting this kitten down to my car.  She hid most of the way home but I got her and held her the rest of the way home.  Jinger just kept saying that she could not believe I was doing this.  I couldn't just let her live in the parking lot.  She quickly acclimated to my house.  See she is even waving!  She is the sweetest natured thing and has lots of energy just like kittens do.  This new thing will be more than a memory as she will stay around for a long time to come!
