A heartwarming tale about the importance of caring for strays.
In Billy's small town, stray cats are running wild, and there's growing pressure to get rid of them. The school bullies don't even hesitate to throw rocks at the poor creatures! So when Billy finds a wounded, starving kitten and sneaks her home, he has to be extra-careful to keep her hidden while he nurses her back to health. However precious little Conga is to him, he knows his dad would take her away if he discovered her, safe and warm in Billy's bedroom.
Can Billy and his friends confront the cat abusers, convince the town of the importance of caring for abandoned animals, and find a safe haven for strays?
A new, soon-to-be-classic animal story by the author of DOG LOST.

From Cat Found
Billy looked down at the plywood crates again. He bent close and called, "Cat. Hey, cat."
The stray practically rushed into his arms.
Billy didn't know what to do. He stood up with his hands full of cat. Cat hair stuck to his shirt. Black powder smeared his skin. Billy looked around for some help. People hurrying by paid him no mind. They had their dinners to think about. He was just a dirty boy with a dirty cat.
The cat felt so light. Billy could feel its heart beating out of time.
