Question

today i was drving to work and it is very cold i see a little kitten cureld up on the side of the curb on a busy street...my heart shatterd so risking getting in trouble for being late to work i turned around and tried to get the kitty...it was scared and ran away but i felt so much better know it ran to a warhouse and wasent in the street and it didnt seem hurt so yay! so it made me think whats a random act of kindness you did for a animal

Answer 1

i have walked around with a new born kitten in my bra keeping it warm until i could get it to a vet. I also did the same for a baby rat (i kept rats as pets) whose mother was trying to kill it. I fed it while it was in my bra, feeding it kitten milk from a dropper. After a few days (not in my bra constantly, i hasten to add!) it had enough strength to rejoin the others and the mother stopped trying to kill it.

Answer 2

My kind of person. I am going to get into trouble one of these days. I live in a very quiet neighbourhood where there are many chameleons. The poor beggars just cannot resist crossing the streets (and they are sooo slow). When I see them I stop to pick them up and put them in the direction that they were going. On a number of occasions I have been shouted at , threatened, cursed etc by irate drivers. Quite frankly I don't give a toss. See chameleon, stop, remove from danger, pacify drive on. It is just the way I am and I cannot help it. I am really bad and I see my daughter is just as bad. Went out this evening (she's learning to drive) everything was fine and all of a sudden she jammed on the brakes. She saw a minute toad that I had missed - hopped out of the car picked it up and put it back in the bush. What have I created? I am so proud of her. LOL

Poor kitty-- I'm glad it's away from traffic now.
Although I don't think anything that helps another being is 'weird' I've done some things other ppl might consider strange. I'm vegetarian & use cruelty-free products whenever possible.
Most of our companion animals are rescues. I've got out og bed @ all hours to feed or medicate anyone who needed it (this has included birds, cats & rats, either b/c they were sick or babies who needed frequent feeding). Although terrified of needles, I learned how to give our diabetic cat insulin & have treated abcesses on pet rats. When trying to get finicky rats to eat a new food, I've eaten some & gently breathed on the little guys so they'd know it was 'safe.' Yes it works ;-)
Ok, maybe that last one is weirdest-- food taster for rats!

Answer 4

I feed my three dogs often from a spoon. I open a can of wet food as a treat and they sit on the floor waiting their turns as I feed them spoon by spoon, It's cute to watch. I make a habit of rescuing dogs and cats.

Oh, I forgot, I have to mention this one, I stopped my car one time to break up a fight between a rooster that was bullying a smaller little red chicken.

Nice to hear all the stories from people that love animals. Keep up the good work.

Answer 5

A couple years ago, I noticed my cat was looking under a huge pine tree I have, wouldn't move when I tried to make him move. A pair of Blue Jays were dive bombing him. Got down on my knees , there were three baby birds huddled together with a nest on the ground next to them. They were so little, no feathers and eyes closed.
A neighbor came by, helped me collect them (this was not easy), we were able to fasten the nest inside the tree and put the birds back. I wouldn't let my cat out for a couple days, he never really paid any attention to the tree after that, so I guess the birds made it.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I screamed to my mom to stop in the middle of a busy road because I saw a squirrel where my mom was going to be, and she did, and it gave it time to run away lol Also, I have cupped a huugee spider in my hand so I could free it and to throw it outside, and this happened in a class room so everyone thought I was a weirdo lol

Answer 8

I applaude you on putting your humanity first, and caring for that little kitty! Good girl!
I had to I.V. my cat who was dying of feline leukemia, by way of written instructions, we couldn't get the vet out to do it for a week ( deep winter, way out in the country...)
I'd worked with Thoroughbred's and other horses and animals with shots and operations, but shaving that little paw, and he was so-o-o- sick, poor baby...
oh..and I completely overcame a lifelong PHObia of snakes to help a friend remove the stitches from a 12 foot burmese python...I just had to, after a while, watching everybody struggling away, trying to get him to stop cringing away from the feel of the tweezers, I realized he was just another animal in need; how do you not help, after that? Now, I love most snakes (not albino little ones,tho'...I stil don't like worms!)
Maybe one day I'll like spiders, too, like the poster above me!

Answer 9

Well, it wasn't me, but my wife used a stick once when we were at the beach and pushed a jellyfish that has washed on shore back into the ocean when we vacationed in Myrtle Beach.

Answer 10

I took an injured bird into my home overnight. I put it in a box with branches, water and bread. The next day I took it to the animal shelter and when I opened the box to show them, the bird flew off. I felt stupid, but I was trying to be helpful
