It was a scorching afternoon when we spotted them—four tiny kittens, barely a few weeks old, huddled near the shoulder of a busy highway. The cars zoomed by, and the sound of engines echoed like thunder around their fragile bodies. There was no mother in sight. Just frightened eyes and trembling fur, clinging to each other for warmth and comfort.
We pulled over immediately, our hearts racing. It was a dangerous place, and every second counted. One wrong move, and they could dart into traffic. Carefully, we approached with a towel and a bit of food. They were too scared to come close, but too hungry to resist the scent of nourishment. Bit by bit, we gained their trust. One by one, we scooped them up and tucked them safely into a box we had in the car.
