This morning I hit the road early, as we were in the middle of a huge search for a dog named Petey (now legendary), who had been on the run for several weeks. On my way to the area he'd last been seen in I saw a beautiful white and brown cat lying on the sidewalk, unfortunately deceased. I got out of my car and approached her to make sure she was gone, and saw that she had been nursing.
At the same time as I made that discovery I heard a voice across the street ask "are you looking for your kitten"?

She was cold - but only because she was chilled! She was very much alive, and gave me a quiet meeeeewww to prove it.
I immediately got Team Chelsea on the phone to walk me through next steps, which included a trip to the vet for a once-over. Other than ear mites she was in great shape. We suspect that Mom had been moving her to another location when she was killed.
Next, I took to Facebook to see which of my friends could open their hearts and adopt this sweet kitten. Within 30 minutes I'd found her a home, with a lady named Patricia who had been looking for a kitten to adopt.
By noon that morning this kitten was rescued off a busy street, had a clean bill of health, and was being handed to her new Mom.

I keep in touch with Patricia and it sounds like "little" June isn't so little anymore. I am looking forward to seeing her in the near future.
Such a happy ending, and in all the excitement I never got to thank the man who had pointed her out to me. I wish I'd had that chance, because he unknowingly made such a difference in so many lives.
