Last year on September 6th 2014 I went riding with my mom and her co-worker. We stopped at the stop sign at the end of our street and I heard a kitten crying. My mom and her co-worker insisted we leave it be, but I wouldn't take no for an answer. So on the way back, we stopped to look for the kitten that was crying. I scooped her up and held her in my arms and petted her and loved on her. When we got home, I got her some food to eat and some fresh water. Once she had a full tummy I picked her up, sat in our rocking recliner and she fell asleep, purring. After a while we named her Chance, and ever since then she has been with us, and following me around all over the place, meowing when she can't get to me. I may not have rescued her from a shelter, but to me it was a life saved, because if we would have left her she would have drowned the next day from rain. Not once do I regret rescuing this little angel, she has done wonders for my disabled father and stressed mother. She is part of our family now, and we can't imagine life without her. We gave her a second chance at life, and a better future to look forward to.
