His mother might have called for him and taken him home.

Mommy cats call to their kittens when they are worried and kittens have exceptionally good hearing for survival reasons, in the same way that human babies have fantastic hearing.

Perhaps you should find a quiet comfortable space, speak to Jesus and pray that the kitten is back with his mother. Tell Jesus how you feel and ask that He watch over them both.

Life is a roller-coaster for everyone: that's the way it's supposed to be because without the worry and the fear and the sadness, the moments of love and joy would have no meaning.

You brought moments of love and comfort to a kitten's life. No matter where the kitten's life takes him, you were there when he needed you.
