Kits and Cats - We love them all
Their only crime is they exist. They attempt to thrive in a world that finds them inconvenient. We do our best to show them kindness and keep them healthy and fed.
We try to keep their numbers small
We simply cannot catch them all
They hiss and spit and run and hide
And with the neighbors do collide
Big or small
We love them all
They bite and fight
We patch them up.
When sick we get the help they're needing.
We TNR to stop the breeding.
Some we pet and can enjoy
Some remain an aloof girl or boy.
Big or small
We love them all.
The neighbor asked
what is their number?
Too many, this we know
But the wild things have no where to go.
We love them from first breath to last
Often times we don't know their past
Whether strays who claim us
Or kittens born in our yard
Turning them away would be too hard.
Kits and cats
Big or small
We love them all.

A dead past does not put a halt to a new future. A year later, Kaffy, a highly intelligent, creative, bookish, and preppy Nigerian-Canadian 15-year-old girl was released from juvenile prison. She was arrested and charged with petty theft and assault, and was sentenced to a year in prison. Her sentence was supposed to be 6 months for stealing a lollipop, a chocolate bar, a pack of playing cards, and a bag of Cheeto's cheesies from 7-Eleven, but she received another 6 months for kicking, punching, and hitting another female inmate across the face during an altercation in the canteen.
