A cat's cry for help.

Please don't turn your back on me

Look into my eyes

How can you walk away?

And not listen to my cries

This shelter is noisy and crowded

So far away from home

Doesn't anybody want me?

I'm scared and all alone

Locked in a cage, I'm waiting

Will someone come in time?

Please, please help me!

Or a needle might end this life of mine

So many kittens, so many cats

All waiting for someone to say

"Come here cute pussycat."

I want to take you away

But will that pussycat be loved?

Or suffer a fate worse than death

Will it beg for mercy?

With his last dying breath

It doesn't have to be that way

It's all up to you

There can be an end to this suffering

Depending on what you do

Be responsible, and care

Spay or neuter your pet

Sooner rather than later

Make an appointment with the vet!
