A little orange kitten in an animal shelter full of cats and kittens wants very much to have a home and a boy or girl of his own. He hears all the reasons why he’s not wanted and tries very hard to change how he looks and acts. His fur won’t lie flat. To fix it he carefully grooms his head every day. Because he heard a little boy in boots call him boring, he pretends to chase things and pounce on them. He’s bound to get a home, isn’t he? The Wishing Kitten is the perfect Christmas story for a child who loves cats and is encouragement for anyone who is ready to give up on a dream.
