He’s only 10 weeks old, and the only “safe” place Oedipuss could see was under a parked car. Luckily, before the driver moved that car, he noticed the kitten huddled there. Luckily, too, Oedipuss believes that people are good and will protect him. He didn’t run away. He waited to be helped.

In the shelter, Oedipuss is safe, for now. However, the situation may be a bit like being under a parked car. The safety is temporary. That’s because the shelter is at its capacity, especially for cats and kittens.

Oedipuss desperately needs someone to notice him again, just like that driver did. Otherwise, if the shelter needs to make space, Oedipuss’s escape from the wheels of a car may have been only a reprieve.
