Her eyes met mine as she walked past the adoption center. I could see her need and knew I had to help her. I put my paw on the glass, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.
As she stopped at my cage, I blocked her view as best I could from the back. I didn't want her to see how messy it was. Sometimes we don't have enough volunteers to cover all the cleaning shifts and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my info card, I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I rubbed my shoulder and side of my head against the glass to comfort her. Gentle fingertips that wanted to touch my soft fur; she was desperate for companionship.
A tear fell down her cheek and I meowed to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and I leaped out to meet her. Her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms and purred as loud as I could. I would promise to always keep her company. I would do whatever I could to keep that radiant smile on her face and sparkle in her eyes.
I am so fortunate that she came by my adoption center. So many more are out there who haven't seen us. So many more to be saved. At least I could save this one. Yes, I could save one. I rescued a human today.
