Mostly iphone chargers and earrings end up there, but I&#8217;ve seen laptops, houseplants, and just about anything you can imagine. Never once have I come across a lost kitten at Starbucks, but on my closing shift one night, I looked outside and there was this woman staring at me. I went outside and asked her if I could help her, and saw she had a tiny kitten. I gasped, and somehow I ended up taking this little guy home&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I love cats, and I have two at home, and when I saw this little guy, I knew he wouldn&#8217;t be safe on his own. I had been hearing rumors of a feral cat that recently had 5 kittens, and I assume this is one of the kittens, as it fits the time line. I have gone out looking for the others, and the mom, but haven&#8217;t had any luck. I wonder what happened, and why this kitten got separated, and how he ended up at Starbucks, but I am so glad he did.<\/p>\n<p>I brought him home and created a little space for him in the bathroom. Roscoe and Cosmo were not happy about this addition. I started calling him Clover (because he is so lucky!). He couldn&#8217;t really eat on his own, so I would feed him by hand. He loved hanging out in my pour over cone, and I took this opportunity to take a few photographs of him.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-642\" src=\"https:\/\/themodernbarista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tmb_monty1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themodernbarista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tmb_monty1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/themodernbarista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tmb_monty1-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I posted these pictures on social media and almost instantly, one of my friends in Arizona called her friend in Seattle, and the next thing I knew, Clover was on the ferry to his new home.
