Sick, abandoned, and afraid... another homeless cat. I can't find my home and now I'm locked up and afraid for the first time in my life.
Born by Cesarean section and a sick mother cat too weak to nurse. I just don't understand what's happening or how I got here.
This is my home and I'm always in danger, hungry, and tormented by fleas. I am an unwanted newborn but the nice animal hospital people will try to fine a home for me.
Millions of kittens and cats are, at this moment, homeless. Millions of puppies and dogs are, at this moment, homeless.
WE HUMANS HAVE ONLY OURSELVES TO BLAME.
