Not on My Watch: A Letter from KoKo.

Dear Friends,

I had a family. I guess they weren't the best family, since they gave up on me and abandoned me at a Vet's door.

I thought the Vet would take care of me, but he just turned me over to Animal Control and lately I've been living in a cage at Henry County Care & Control. I'm locked up, like a criminal, but I don't know what I did to deserve this. I'm grateful they give me food and water. I have a place to go to the bathroom, but it's tough because I have to sleep right next to it. This cage is really small. I don't have any toys, either.

Basically, I just sit here and wonder what is going to happen next. When will they let me out? Do I get to go back home again? There are lots of other cats here, too. They all wonder what is to become of them.

I guess if I could ask for one thing, I would ask if maybe I could, at least get out of here for a little while. Just to stretch my legs. Some of the cats get taken away and I never see them again. I wonder if they are okay?

I wanted to thank all of you for writing to me. It was really nice to get your letters. You really have big hearts to offer to send money to help me, but I don't even know what you do with money, so you should keep it.

I hope I get out of here. I am so lonely.

Sincerely yours,

KoKo

Hi Koko,
I am Olives Odell. I was trapped in some bushes, taken away from my brother and sisters and mommy - in a cage!
But, just when I thought the worst would happen, I saw my brother and sisters again! I was in a HOUSE! In a big scarey ROOM! But it did have lots of hidey/sleepy places. And, then my two cousins came in, too!
Every so often a giant, pink THING would come to bother us, dig up our well hidden deposits and make strange squeeky noises. Then I would smell something yummy - but it was just too scarey to come out to see. The Thing would put a big, bald paw in and PULL me out - into the OPEN! And plop me down with everyone - in front of FOOD!
That was last year. The Pink Thing doesn't have to pull me out anymore! She has even stopped taking me to the Giant Pet Store for those silly visits. I have found My Place! But, I do have to share it with my pesky cousin, Keith, and two oldsters.
Hang in there Koko, it may take a while, but some Pink Things ARE nice, and they do let you out of cages!
Purrs, Olives O.
