Shelter Kitten – Brea
Someone who should have cared about eight-week-old, multi-colored, tortoiseshell Brea miscalculated. Mistakes like this person’s frequently kill kittens. Her person left Brea outside of a school. Maybe this person, the one Brea depended on for survival, calculated that children can’t resist kittens. However, the person failed to remember that kids don’t get to make family-changing choices.
At the school, abandoned little Brea was closer to becoming a lifeless patch of fur on the pavement than she was to finding a home. Brea was lucky that someone noticed such a small speck of life. She was even luckier that someone took her to the shelter.
Now Brea needs some more luck. She needs to meet someone, to be touched, to purr for them, and to show she matters.
