My feral kitty
You were a stray
Surviving alone
Now you’re safe
But you don’t know it

Everything is different—
Too loud, too bright, too close
You’re unsure 
You don’t trust people 
Hiding feels safer
My feral kitty 

You don’t know me
But I’m your friend  
I want to care for you 
For as long as you let me
I sit with you quietly 
I try offering treats 
You hide and hiss
But I’m not afraid 
You’re just scared
I understand 
But I wish you knew
How much I love you 
My feral kitty 

I want to take you home 
Give you your own space 
It’ll be quiet and safe 
I’ll leave you be 
Until you’re ready 
I can’t wait to see you thrive 
And watch your personality shine
I look forward to knowing you
My feral kitty
