Loosely based on a true story, this is sweet, nicely illustrated book telling the sequence of events from Katy, a neglected and abused cat,  being found by an elderly couple who are unable to keep her, to her eventually being adopted by another couple who put aside their original needs and think first of Katy's.The book's merit lies in illustrating how we should look beyond an animal's disabilities when considering adoption. It shows children the process involved in re-homing an animal and enforces the idea that no creature should be discriminated against because of any special needs they may have; that all deserve the same chances and the same amount of love. What is also great is that the author does explain why the first (very responsible) couple decide not to keep Katy.This is an enjoyable and heart-warming little book with some lovely illustrations, and one which should strike a chord with many.Also published at mungaiandthegoaconstrictor.me
