I never thought I would have the manga-like experience of “protecting a kitten trembling on a rainy day.”
The encounter with the two was on a rainy day in June 2018.

I found a cat!
I was working from the afternoon and she was off work. I drove to the library to return the books.
When I was driving on the road next to the park, which was a little far from my house … The car that was running in front of me suddenly swelled to the right. What is it? When I approached, I thought …
There was something like a white towel around here … I also went to the right while avoiding it … I realized that it was a crawling soaked kitten.
She was sitting in the passenger seat and noticed at the same time.
What did you see now?
I couldn’t park the car at that moment.
That was a cat, wasn’t it?
I’ll die if I leave it as it is
What should we do
I don’t remember the details, but I feel like I was having a conversation like this. And in the meantime, the car keeps moving forward.
While driving, I was thinking, “I wish I had stopped right away” and “What can I do if I stopped?”
Please. Back
Determination of protection
That’s what she said, and I made up my mind.
understood！
I couldn’t make a U-turn on the road, but I hurried back and parked on the other side of the park and rushed to the previous place.
The kitten I saw managed to move to the end of the road, where he quivered a little.
The tremor is not a fear of a running car, but simply a state of weakness in a soaked body. Even if I reached out, I ran away and trembled with no reaction at all, let alone resistance.
I handed her a debilitated kitten who couldn’t even cry, but another kitten screamed from near her standing …
that? Do you have another kitten?
The voice is from the hedge on the side of the road.
When I looked inside, another kitten was crying.
It’s awkward to get inside the hedge. I reached out to the kitten thinking, but he didn’t even run away. It seems that this child was also quite weak.
Still, this kid was relatively energetic, screaming, and occasionally rampaging lightly. However, this child had his left eye not open.
Protected the kitten!
Wrap the two in the hoodie that was in the car … After returning the book at the library of the first purpose, I went to the veterinary clinic.
Here are the two animals immediately after arriving at the parking lot of the animal hospital.
I wiped my body with a hoodie or tissue, but it’s still wet.
Even in the hospital, the first thing to do was to warm and dry the body. Here are two kittens that are finally dry.
The calico cat was trembling all the time until I left the hospital.
The pheasant white is much better, but the left eye seems to be in a very severe condition.
About one month after birth in terms of size. The teacher said that you wouldn’t be able to survive outside without your mother.
Just before the kitten leaves the hospital
I haven’t seen her since then, but she’s been to the hospital several times to see what’s going on, and right before she’s discharged, both of them are pretty well!
And I will be discharged tomorrow and will move to my house!
wrap up
This is the story of the encounter with the two animals, which were later named “Ame” and “Tsuyu”.
“Ame”, a calico cat who survived by trying hard not to be hit by a car on the road while being exposed to the rain
the brown tabby and white cat “tsuyu” that told us about its existence while surviving the rain and dew under the trees on the side of the road.
By the way, the picture of the road was taken on the night of the day when the two were protected. Do you have a mother or siblings? I looked around for a while, but there was no such cat.
But … I saw stray cats fighting. Maybe they are relatives, but it’s dangerous, so I thought the two kittens had no choice but to live at home.
Time with Ame Tsuyu
60 days after birth (estimated)
10 days after meeting
