It was a very dark, hot July night. My son and I had been away most of the day visiting family. Suddenly, a kitten ran out in front of the car. I was certain I ran her over!

I pulled over to move the body out of the road, but there was no kitten! Then we heard the kitten mewing in the grass. She stepped out to see us, crying her heart out.

I picked her up and held her close to my chest. She was purring and crying!

"There there little one. You are safe now," I whispered to her.

I put her in my garage once we were home and gave her food and water. Poor little darling was so hungry and thirsty. I could not take her into the house, as I had a dog. My plan was to take her with me to work and try to find her a home. If not, I'd have to work it out with my dog.

Everyone was so loving to her, but they already had pets. So, while I worked, my coworkers got a box and put a blanket inside it for her. Then a coworker came to me and told me the maintenance guy wanted her. She assured me the kitten would have a good home.

As time went on, I'd ask him how she was doing. He would show me pictures and tell me she was the sweetest cat! He named her Moxie. I am so very grateful I could help this little baby!
