The Shelter director says that Speaker, a beautiful creation of Mother Nature, a seven-month-old, multi-colored Tabico kitten, is the friendliest feline in the Shelter. Unfortunately, now, Speaker is also the loneliest. The little lady, who loved to meow to her sisters and visitors, doesn’t have anyone to talk to lately.

Speaker sat quietly, after visitors scooped up first one sister, then the other. She heard her quieter sisters purring. Speaker saw that they were happy, as people carried them out the cat room door. She thought that she’d understand more, when they came back.

But Speaker’s litter mates never came back. And no humans have come for Speaker to charm. Even this sparkling, optimistic kitten is becoming sad. The Shelter feels lonely, not fun anymore.
