Kitten in Nicaragua [redux]

August 10, 2014

mrtraveller says: I came across this little thing at a restaurant on the island of Ometepe in Nicaragua where it tried to climb up our chairs and legs to get to our food. Since this little kitten looked so tiny and skinny we felt sorry for it and helped it onto the table where it desperately (and with contented purring) ate the leftovers of our rice, beans, and fish! :-)

Little kitty looks like an old soul. Sending prayers that someone kind will fall in love and adopt this sweet kit...

I am with all of you, sad that this little kitty was left to its fate and is just a photo op. Would have liked an update that was more positive about this sweetie.

Such a sad story today. Why could you not take him along with you? Poor baby.

So kind of you to feed this little orphan, even if it was just for one meal. You made a difference in his life. Hopefully someone who could keep him brought him home.

Look at this poor little face! He is slowly starving! I could have never just fed him and left him there....so sad.....

This is like giving a dollar to a starving beggar child. Makes you feel good but does nothing to really help. I am sickened.

Very sad all the feral cats living far from nature, . . .Get your cats fixed people,. . .all of them. Unless you are a breeder you got NO business facilitating more unwanted kittens in this hard old world. After all its not your balls.

Thanks for doing what you could. I'm surprised the kitten would let you get so close.
My apartment charges outrageous upfront prices plus $15/month pet rent for a pet, so I don't have a cat yet.

I doubt it's all that easy to just pick up a stray animal when traveling abroad and bring it home; feeding the kitten was a kindness. Thanks for the photos of this lovely cat.

These are beautiful pictures, every single one. Thank you for caring for this little kitten, even if only for a little while. What a beautiful memory for you!
