Sicily: A Small Problem

We were on our way to walk the dog on the beach when I saw a little kitten running across the road to some people who just pulled up in a car. They ignored the little kitten. A few cars rushed past, as they always do on our road, and the little kitten ran up to us. I was afraid he'd get squished running up to cars looking for his mother. He followed us home crying for his mother. We couldn't just let it get squashed or eaten by the local dogs. We gave him some watered milk and some water. The poor guy was very dehydrated. We'll see if we can find him a home tomorrow.
(Edit: He turned out to be she)
