UPCOMING EVENTS:

Sunday, September 10, Snip & Tip - If you know of a feral cat that needs ‘snipping’, call us and we’ll help you trap the kitty on Saturday and carry it to Lebanon for surgery on Sunday. The cat will be returned to it’s current location but will no longer be adding to the overpopulation of feral cats. Both male and female feral cats may be altered at no charge in this program offered by The Humane Association of Wilson County.  Domesticated pet cats do not qualify for this program. For more information, see their web site at www.hawconlinelcom.

 

The Prayer of a Stray

by Rosemary Banks

"Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care! I'm tired of running; I'm sick with despair.

My body is aching, it's so racked with pain; and dear God I pray, as I run in the rain.

That someone will love me and give me a home; a warm cozy bed I can call my own.

My last owner neglected me and chased me away, to rummage in garbage and live as a stray.

But now God, I'm tired and hungry and cold and I'm afraid that I'll never grow old.

They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones, while I run in the streets just looking for bones!

I'm not really bad God, please help if you can, for I have become just a 'Victim of Man'!

I'm wormy, Dear God, and I'm ridden with fleas and all that I want is an owner to please!

If you find one for me God, I'll try to be good; I won't run away and I'll do as I should.

I don't think I'll make it long on my own, 'cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all alone.

Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry, 'cause I'm so afraid God that I'm gonna die!

And I've got so much love and devotion to give, that I should be given a new chance to live.

So, Dear God, please, please answer my prayer; and send me somebody who will really care..."
