Minutes ago, I came upon a disturbing sight.
As I walked down the street of Iguazu, Argentina, I heard ¨meow! meow!¨ on and on.
I knew i was heading in the right direction as the cry got louder as walked along the sidewalk and approached a tree. I assumed a cat was stuck in the tree.
As I drew near, I realized the sound was coming from near my feet. On the ground, in the shade on this 27C day, was a kitten. Its eyes were open but it was very moist - looking like a new born.
What can I do? At the moment, I have walked on by. Other people (locals) were in the area and must have heard the kitten, too. However, the kitten´s cries were not turning any heads.
I will check and see if there is an animal shelter here. I´d be quite surprised if there was one. The well-being of animals does not appear to be a top priority in the countries I have visitied on this trip.
What would you do?

Mike says he would do the same thing - look for an animal shelter. I would also look for the Mom cat. She has to be nearby, no?
Hopefully, someone needs a wonderful housecat and will nurse it to thrive.
Mary's sister is now in Ecuador. Feel free to visit!
You have a good heart - that's what counts. First the Kitten and then the young woman who told a great story about "no money."
Maybe true, maybe not, but you were the hero in both tales, even if you couldn't save the kitten.
Overall, Uraquay doesn't sound like the perfect match for you.
Happy St Patrick's Day! I doubt he's the focus of celebration in S.A., But up here the parade goes on - in a drizzly rain. There's no snow to be seen.
See that #2 comment? It was on an earlier part of your blog and I made the mistake of clicking on it. That's when a virus swooped in but my defense guards were awake and saved the day! ti amo, mom
