An 8-month-old kitten made her way into my apartment by squeezing through the window slats. She was incredibly sweet, even though her fur was a tangled mess, full of burrs. To make sure she was okay, I took her to the vet for a check-up. It was obvious she wasn’t a stray, so I started checking local Facebook groups for lost pets. Unfortunately, no one had posted about her.
I decided to ask the neighbors if they were missing a cat. They admitted she was theirs but said they kicked her out because she “ruined the apartment.” It was heartbreaking to hear, but they told me I could keep her if I wanted. That’s how Franny became officially part of my family
