Witness to a Rescue | Paths I Have Walked

The actions in this story occurred in late November, right around Thanksgiving, so I always share it some time during Thanksgiving week. It’s a sweet story I’d carried with me for nearly 20 years and I’m not sure of the exact year, probably 1993 or 1994. It’s included in my series of rescue stories even though the rescue is neither mine nor is the cat one who came to live with me, but I still feel very connected for having witnessed it, and knowing that small kindnesses like this happen every day, everywhere, and need to be noted.

I first published this story here on The Creative Cat. This year I decided to add it to my writing portfolio on Paths I Have Walked. The post includes not only the story with the illustrations, but also electronic files you can download to your electronic device, and a version I recorded that’s up on YouTube. Enjoy! And have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
