I was on my way to my grandboy's soccer game on a fine November morning last year. I drive a Beetle and am careful not to run over things on the dirt road, as there is little clearance. I spotted something white ahead. Thinking it was a Walmart bag, I eased up to go around it. As I got right on it, my heart jumped; it was a tiny white kitten. Her sibling lay nearby, squashed. I burst into tears and picked her up.

I cuddled the dirty little thing to my chest. Its eyes were crusted shut. I turned the Beetle around and headed back to the house, where I cleaned its eyes with boric acid solution and gave it warm cream.

The other cats (five rescues) and the dogs (six rescues) all came to see what I had. I left it in good paws and went on to the game.

Later at home, I saw it was a girl kitty and worked to get her eyes open. She soon started to play and cuddle with the other pets. They were all very attentive to her, especially 20 year old Beenz.

She is now my beautiful golden-eyed Wallie, a very sweet and cuddly girl. She is part of the rescue league here. I take them as they come and love them all.
