Queen Of Her World
Where once all she knew was pain and torture
Three and a half years ago, I wandered into a animal rescue shelter and left with this tiny six month old kitten. Totally unplanned but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
This little kitten was a six month old, champagne coloured, domestic shorthair female, with tiger stripes on both her back legs and she had certainly earned her stripes, in the six short months this girl walked the earth.
The animal rescue shelter placed her in a cardboard box for me. I couldn’t place her in the carry box because she was so scared, that she wouldn’t allow me to pick her up. In fact she wouldn’t even allow me to touch her. She was terrified of humans and she just broke my heart.
How could I not take her home — she was calling out for love and kindness, in a world where she’d only known torment and torture.
The story the staff at the shelter told me just tore my heart from my chest.
Her story played out from birth, where she had been tormented and tortured until she was practically taking her final breath and it was at this time, that her torturers threw her away in a dumpster to die.
Hence why humans terrified her and I don’t blame her at all!
