Should I Adopt a Black Kitten Who I Spent Two Weeks Rescuing on a Brooklyn Rooftop?

[joeybee12]

About two weeks ago, I noticed that the sound of a cat meowing outside my Brooklyn apartment had been going on for most of the day. I have a cat, Mimosa, and I'm used to the sound of the stray cats in the parking lot below conjuring up a fine cacophony of wails at times, but this meowing sounded a little more helpless.

I went outside to my building's shared terrace, followed the sound, and realized that it was coming from the rooftop of a building on the next block over. I looked up and there, on the roof, was a tiny black kitten perched on the edge meowing. And meowing. And meowing.

It was funny at first, in an absurd way, and as there were some birds hanging out on a fire escape below I assumed the kitten had somehow gotten up there in an attempt to catch a pigeon. But the noise returned the next day and the kitten was still up there. It dawned on me that the kitten was stuck.

1. I hope he will adopt that kitten...

What a great story!

Thanks for sharing it, my dear joeybee12...

2. You're welcome!

And I say yes to adopting him also...it's a lot easier to introduce a kitten to another cat because the original cat isn't as threatened by the small one, as he/she would be by another adult cat.

14. My daughter rescued a cat and her four kittens a couple of weeks ago.

We have three of the kittens ready to adopt this weekend and the mother may have a taker also.

The fourth kitten is probably going to end up in our house.

15. Good for you...I'm probably keeping my latest rescue kitten, a tortie...

The others have accepted her already...she's shy and not a dominant personality, so I guess none of them feel threatened.
