Sunshine's Lucky Day

Hand's down, the luckiest day of her short life so far.

Yesterday, this cute little 6-week-old kitten was seen and very fortunately rescued from the middle of 5th Street Extended by my co-worker's daughter. Several cars were seen swerving to miss hitting this baby (thank goodness) but one compassionate person stopped to scoop her up out of harm's way.

She was brought to our office soaking wet from the yesterday's downpour, lethargic, and malnourished. But once she arrived, she had plenty of caretakers. We weren't quite sure what to do with her, but after several people volunteered to care for her temporarily until we figured it out, we placed a call down the street to Monticello Animal Hospital, who agreed to keep her for the night and check her out.

This morning, she returned to our office with a good medical report. And between yesterday and today, another one of my co-workers whose cat recently died, decided to give this little girl a permanent, loving home. Her new name (at least temporarily) is Sunshine.
