If Sally looks startled, she has lots of reasons.  The tiny tuxedo is only eight weeks old, yet every element of her world has changed at least four times.  Sally’s original world, one she shared with her brother, Rico, must have revolved around a capable, caring mama cat.  People must have been there, too, since these kittens adore people.

Sally can’t explain how that happy world disappeared, but world number two was horrifying.  Sally and Rico were alone, outdoors, huddled together, terrified, starving, fading fast.  People passed and the kittens looked at them hopefully.  No one responded.  Then hands scooped up Sally and Rico.

They were put into a world that moved, a car, a car that finally arrived at world number three, the shelter.
