Sometimes Fate Knocks on Your Door, Sometimes it's a Kitten.

9/15/2016

I work in a tough district, in a tough school. Some of the stories I come home with defy common sense and logic. Some will break your heart or make you so mad that you can't think straight. Sometimes though, something so wonderfully absurd happens and it makes working here seem like the best place in the world. 

This morning over the walkie we heard someone call for a teacher who used to be a zookeeper because we had an animal on campus that needed to be attended to. So all of us teachers high tailed it outside to see what it might be. It was the most adorable, scrawny kitten in the world. Apparently she had followed several students up to the building and was itching to get inside.

I don't even like cats, but this one was pretty badass
After talking to the kids we decided she was either a very tiny outdoor cat or a drop off. She was just in too good of shape and too excited for snuggles to be a feral cat.  

So we tried to take her back to where she came from (a bush near our tennis courts) but every time we walked away she was hot on our heels. I tried stomping at her to scare her off, but it was no use. She had decided she was coming with me, and followed me all the way back to the school. I couldn't leave her outside (what if she got hit by a car!?) so I brought her in and set about trying to call the SPCA or Humane Society to see what we could do with her. As it turns out neither place opens until 10, so the best possible thing happened- I had a Library cat for half a day! 

Since she was chilling in the library with me while I did website work and research I decided to name her Charlie ​after one of my favorite characters ​ from Supernatural and 
we spent a fun morning playing on the computer, hanging out with students, eating chicken and playing in the soccer field. The SPCA didn't have room for her, but another teacher was able to have someone come get her to go check for a microchip and after that we had another teacher willing to hang on to her until someone claims her. And if no one claims her then they are willing to keep her forever. So Charlie the Library Cat had an awesome day here and will either go to her home or to a new forever home. Not too shabby.

You weren't trying to research were you?

Maybe if I sit just like this I can drink my water and block your screen.
