history: While out walking in a Boston suburb, we heard some animal cries. It turned out to be a baby kitten (very young) in a window well, with not identifying information. We took it home and adopted it.
current: I was out for a walk one night in a suburb of Boston when we heard the cries of a young animal. It was a baby kitten, with no collar, in a window well.
