Joshua, a tender-hearted ten year old, just wouldn’t take his mother’s ‘no’ for an answer when he found a sick, dirty kitten covered with mud. Mother Wendy turned down her son’s request to keep the kitten because they already had two dogs. She thought it just wouldn’t work. But, Joshua had could not turn away this little one. He put the kitten in a cage outside with food and water then gently cleaned her up up and tended to the wound on her neck. The next day he brought her inside. Much to his mother’s suprise, the kitten didn’t mind the dogs and the dogs didn’t mind the kitten. Now ‘Monkey’ has become one of the pack and has begun to take on some canine habits. She plays chase with the dogs, sleeps with them and greets Joshua at the door every afternoon when he comes home from school. Read the whole story in the latest ASPCA newsletter. Kudos to Joshua who dared to listen to his heart.
