Kitty's Story


There was a time when all my hope was gone I was kicked to the curb without doing wrong My owner had way too many of us to give care She was sick, had a warehouse of us somewhere Instead of letting authorities give us homes We were abandoned in the freezing cold to roam A snow storm raged and I lost all my friends I stumbled around, thinking it was the end Under a car, I hid, in the closest parking place From the bitter frost that whipped at my face Shivering and crying, I was noticed by one man In total desperation, I followed him closely He tried to ditch me, but I didn’t care mostly My persistence paid off; he picked me up- hooray! And from that moment on I knew I would be okay Thanks to that man, I am now a spoiled house cat His children adore me and I must say I love that Four times a day I get delicious food to eat And sometimes even the occasional kitty treat I am so thankful not to be roaming the streets Because living life loved is pretty darn sweet
