One day while sitting in the kitchen, I heard a meow. At first, I ignored it because I thought the sound was coming from the attic. As the days went by, however, the meows became louder and more frequent.

We searched repeatedly but couldn't find any kittens. Then, about a week later, we finally pinpointed the sound to the kitchen wall. To our surprise, we discovered four three-week-old kittens trapped inside the wall.

I was able to find homes for three of them, but I ended up keeping one of the kittens. Her name is Precious. No one else wanted her, but I certainly did. I still can't believe my mother let me keep her.

Now, Precious has become a beloved member of our family. She is a healthy, vibrant, and lovable calico kitten who loves to play. What's even more wonderful is how much she has changed our 10-year-old Siamese cat, Nala. Before Precious arrived, Nala was very docile, but now she's much more active and playful. It's been such a joy watching the two of them play together and seeing the bond they've formed.

Precious may have started her life trapped inside a wall, but today she is happy, loved, and exactly where she belongs.

Click to Help James

James and his blind brother, William, were found abandoned on the street when they were just four weeks old. James was born with one blind eye that started to cause him discomfort. Over time, that eye became increasingly painful and irritated. James is the seeing-eye cat for his brother, making his condition even more urgent to treat.
