Please help to find a home for "Billy Boy"

Tale of a Survivor

Seven years as a street cat

roaming at the market

Up on the roofs

down in the drains

He beat the odds

He survived

Sleeping under cars

Fighting for his territory

New wounds even before the old ones

have a chance to heal

Limping badly at times

Tasting the hard life of a street cat

Finally trapped and sent to be neutered

He mellows and old enemies become friends

Life is better now for Billy Boy

He is getting chubby

But there are untold stories

A wound on his back

Was he scalded with hot water

The wound has healed

but scars and memories remain

Enough of danger and adventure

He has only one wish

to spent his old age in a safe place

But where will you go Billy Boy

Will you be happy being in a cattery

with so many others

I wish you could beat the odds

just one more time

To find a real home

To be safe and loved and cared for
