Pumpkin The Lucky Kitten

There was a six month old kitten that was black with tan spots. One day a little boy found the kitten and asked his parents if he could keep it. His parents sadly told him no because their apartments didn't allow cats. This made him very sad but he understood. The boy's parents did say they would take it to a no kill shelter where she will be safe and will go to a good home. This made him happy. At least she can be given to someone else who will love her.

When the boy and his parents went to take her to a shelter, the high energy kitten took off chasing a bug. She was so fast that neither the boy or his parents could catch her. The boy became sad and worried for the kitten. His mom tried to comfort him and told him the kitten would be okay.

When the kitten finally caught the bug, she realized she was lost in a small wooded area. She looked around and started meowing hoping someone would hear her. She then went exploring to try and find some food and water. Bugs were good but they didn't fill her tummy.

A couple of days go by and she still couldn't find a good meal. She tried to get some birds and squirrels but they were faster than her. She finally made it out of the trees and sat beside the road. She started meowing once again. The poor thing was scared, alone and hungry. 

A car with a little old couple spotted the lonely kitten. They stopped and picked her up. They just didn't have the heart to leave her out there like that. They took her to the vet to make sure she was okay to give her some shots to keep her healthy.

The couple couldn't keep her but decided to give the kitten to their granddaughter. Their daughter and granddaughter were going to move nearby and they thought the kitten would be a wonderful gift.

The couple bought some cat food and cat litter. The kitten was exhausted and still scared but at least she was now in a warm place with food and water.

The following week, the couple's daughter arrived. When they told her about the kitten, the mother said her daughter would love it. Boy was she right.

When the little girl Elizabeth saw the kitten, she squealed with excitement. Elizabeth decided to call her new kitten Pumpkin. The tan spots looked orangeish and made her think of Halloween which made her think of a pumpkin.

Later that day, Elizabeth and her mom stopped at the pet store to get a few toys and a collar. The collar had a little bell. The color of the color was white with a green decoration. The white part of the collar reflected when light hit it especially in the dark. This made it easier to see Pumpkin at night.

A few days later, Elizabeth introduced her new kitten to a new friend that she met the day she moved in. When the boy saw the kitten, he became really excited. He told her, "that's the kitty I told you about that ran into the woods!". He was so happy to know that Pumpkin was safe and that he would get to see her sometimes.

Elizabeth loved Pumpkin. It took awhile for the kitty to get used to everything. She soon became relaxed and was back to her hyper curious self. Pumpkin was very happy to have a loving family. Now if she could only stop being so curious and get into everything.
