Harry, a six-month-old, neutered kitten, never wanted to be a stray, a label for a kitten who willingly wandered away from home. Very few house kittens do. Instead, someone who the kittens trusted either carries them away, too far away to find their way home, or moves away and leaves them.

Little Harry can’t explain how he was made into a stray or who did it to him. However, he proved, at the shelter, that he was, once upon a time, a house kitten. He settled indoors easily, even though Harry was obviously dazed and frightened.

Bit by bit, Harry’s fear is fading. He’s bravely taking the risk to trust people again. That shows real heroism and faith. Very few humans would forgive so quickly.
