This little specimen was saved by another kind lady who was crossing the road at Changi Village, holding up traffic of three vehicles. Us, being concerned bystanders, rushed to the scene of panic. The (dirtied) white kitten sought refuge under a van, in which three people stood by vigil for an hour to lure it out from under. Bribery and patience were all there were to it. We adopted a child whom we have named 'Oreo', because it has two little black fur patches on its head, which contrasts vividly with its fair natural inborn colour. It is still preferred to be labelled as 'it' because its gender has still been unidentified. After being fed with energy and hydration, it cabbed with us to its new community of other feline species. It now lives comfortably with dozens of other of its kind. Food and lodging are kindly donated by strangers who dedicate their evenings to feeding and taking care of these unwanted and stray cats.
I hope I'll get to see Oreo again.
