我们在去看电影的路上——晚上10：30的《阿拉丁》，突然看到地上有一团小绒球。一对情侣蹲在公车站旁边，静静地看着它。

On our way to see the 10:30 PM showing of Aladdin, we spotted a little fur ball on the ground. There was already a couple at the bus stop that was crouched down slightly, looking at it.

我的天哪,看！

“Oh my goodness, look!!”

是只小猫！

“It’s a kitten!”

每当在外面看到小动物，只要他们没受伤我就由它们去，或者把它们放在一个更安全的地方。所以那个时候我打开手机手电筒凑近点看它是不是受伤了。

When I see animals outside, as long as they aren’t hurt I will let them go on their way, typically placing them in a safer place if needed. So, I decided to whip out my cellphone and take a closer look to make sure it wasn’t injured. I swiped up and pressed the “flashlight” option.

天，不是吧……

“Oh no…”

它的眼睛应该是瞎的。

“I think it’s blind.”

小猫的眼睛完全被粘液糊住了，看上去一只眼睛是瞎掉的，但是我们不确定。它也许是受了虐待，我们决定把它送到兽医院去，也顾不上什么《阿拉丁》了。幸亏我随身带了夹克衫，虽然天气是热的，但是它此刻很需要。我轻轻地把小猫包起来给它保暖直到到达兽医院。

The kitten’s eyes were completely covered in fluid; it looked as if it might be blind in one eye, but we weren’t sure. We were scared it had possibly been abused, and we wanted to get it to a hospital right away. Aladdin could wait. Thankfully I had taken a jacket with me, despite how warm it was outside—and I swiftly picked the kitten up and wrapped it loosely in the jacket to keep it warm until we got to the vet.

我们四下找医院，不行的是，因为太晚了，附近的宠物医院都关门了。我们只好继续在网上找。我们又碰到了刚才那两位，他们找到了附近一家营业到凌晨的宠物医院，还帮我们交了出租车。

We walked around looking for hospitals, but unfortunately, due to the late, hour all of the close by pet hospitals I knew of were closed. As we continued to search for hospitals online, we bumped back into the couple from before. They had found a pet hospital nearby that was open until midnight, and called us all a taxi.

我们到了医院，医生看到小猫的时候，他还不确定是什么问题。检查完小猫的眼睛，发现小猫没得FPV这样的通病，正在遭受病毒性感染——微弱的喘息和偶尔的喷嚏。医生继续给我们更多关于小猫的详细状况。

When we arrived at the hospital, a veterinarian came out to take a look at the kitten. He couldn’t say for sure what was wrong, but after cleaning the kitten’s eyes and doing some tests he found out that the kitten was cleared of typical illnesses such as FPV, and that it was suffering from a viral infection—hence the slight wheezing and occasional sneezes. He continued to give us more details about the kitten.

从它身上几种不同颜色可以判断出这是一只小母猫。

“You can tell the kitten is a female because she has several different colors.”

另外，小猫的耳朵里还有虫子和跳蚤。我们猜测她可能在感染病毒后被抛弃，尽管我们不知道小猫的所有故事，但我们知道她对人类很友好，举止也很好。检查时她乖乖地坐在手术台上，而不是试图逃跑。有一瞬间，她甚至想和医生亲近一下。

Additionally, the kitten had bugs in her ears, and fleas. We guessed she might have been abandoned after contracting a viral infection, though we are not sure of her entire story. We just know she is quite friendly with humans and pretty well behaved. She just sat on the counter during the examination instead of trying to run away. At one point, she even tried to cozy up to the vet.

我们问了医生下一步该怎么做，医生说我们可以把它带回家也可以把它留在这里，建议我们把小猫留在这里，继续接受治疗和观察。我们四个人都同意医生的意见比较好，我们还决定分摊小猫的治疗、食物和护理的费用。虽然费用很高，但是我们都知道这只小猫真的很需要帮助。医生也很友好，他甚至给了我们一些折扣，因为我们救助的是一只被遗弃的猫。

After asking for the vet’s advice on what to do next, we were told we could take it home or the kitten could stay at the vet for a week, but it was advised the kitten stays in the vet for at least one week to continue to receive treatment and to monitor her condition. All four of us agreed that staying at the vet was the best idea, and we all decided to split the cost of treatment, food and housing. While the bill was quite high, we all knew that this was a kitten that really needed help. The vet was very helpful and even gave us a bit of a discount for helping an abandoned kitten.

如果你在这片区域发现一只流浪猫的话，这家兽医院的联系方式也许对你有帮助：

他们一直营业到凌晨，对动物特别友好。

The contact of the hospital is below if you happen to find a stray kitten in the area. They are open until midnight, and very gentle with animals.

地址：杨浦区政芳路72号1-2层
Address: Yangpu District, No. 72 Zhengfang road

这个故事并没有那么特别，但是我们想强调的是收养宠物比购买宠物重要的多。人们倾向于在宠物店购买小狗小猫，这些小动物感染病毒后得不到好的治疗，后果很严重。而为动物提供收养服务的组织投入金钱和精力就是为了给与动物适当的照顾，准备好让他们被一个充满爱的家庭收养。

While this story is not unique, we want to stress the importance of adopting animals over buying them. People tend to buy animals, and especially puppies and kittens from shops which later contract serious infections that have dire consequences when not treated. Whereas, organizations that offer animals for adoption have put in the money and effort to give animals the proper care necessary to get them ready to be adopted into a loving family.

请考虑捐献一小笔钱用于奶皮的治疗和护理费用（和我们在一起的情侣给小猫取名叫奶皮）。如果你不方便捐钱，也可以和你的朋友分享这张海报。

Please considering donating even a small amount towards the treatment and care of Naipi (奶皮--named by the couple that was with us). And if you can’t donate, feel free to share this poster with your friends.

另外，如果你想参与更多救助小动物的事情，我们可以帮你联系到这片区域的救助组织，帮助更多的小宝贝们找到属于自己的家。可以加我微信：

Additionally, you can add us to get in contact with rescue organizations in the area if you would like to be more involved in helping these furbabies get homes!
