Oh, say can you see? 

The homeless kitties 

With no place to call home. 

All day and night they roam 

Dining at trash dumpsters, 

Winter – Spring –Fall – Summers. 

Living with illness and parasites. 

Always running to hide 

Watch out for that car. 

No one to help, near or far, 

Never safe, no place to rest. 

They live their lives and 

Do their best. 

There’s no reprieve, this is their life, 

Amongst the stress and strife. 

We can make a difference, 

By showing our presence, 

With T-N-R* and adoptions  

and many other caring acts. 

 

*TNR stands for trap, neuter, release.
