Poor Kitty

Mommy's crying. She saw this photo on cute overload that was taken after a flood in Vietnam in 2007, and it reminded her of the tsunami that hit Japan earlier this year. Mommy wanted to take this moment to recognize a wonderful organization that's been rescuing helpless animals like this little guy in Japan following the disaster, JEARS (Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support). They are no longer accepting monetary donations, but they do have wishlists on Amazon for much needed supplies that can be shipped directly to them.

UPDATE: Mommy just found out that this kitten wasn't rescued. The photographer (Graham Lavery) responded to the cute overload post, and told his story. Mommy understands why he had to leave the kitty be, and hopes that she'll never have to make such a heartbreaking decision like this. So do i.
