The stray Calico

One day I heard this tiny meowing sound, I looked outside and saw this beautiful calico kitten. I put food out saw she had no collar on. I figured she must live somewhere around here. I decided to keep putting food and water out she was always very friendly so I thought maybe she had an owner. Every time I went outside she always came running so I thought maybe she didn't have an owner. I decided to let her come inside. She was litter box trained and slept by my chest on my shoulders and neck all night every night. She is the most sweetest kitten. I lived with my mom and grandma at this time. we took her to the vet she had a clean bill of health and they figured she was probably six months old. I let her go and come as she pleased because it would have been hard to keep her inside, she always came in before dark. My boyfriend and I decided to name her Kiara. One night she didn't come home so my boyfriend came and helped me look for her. She dragged herself to the back door and my mom called me saying she found her and she didn't look so good. It turned out she got hit by a car, a car who didn't stop after they hit her. My boyfriend and I rushed her to the vet emergency room. They examined her after cleaning her up. I was covered in blood. She had a broken pelvis and we were told she would more than likely make a full recovery. She was to be in a small area with no jumping for at least 12 weeks. We got this fence stuff my grandma got from her small dogs. She stayed in that and we made it to where she couldn't get out. She came out to lay with me and cuddle up. She is now 1 year old and has made a full recovery. She made perfect friends with my boyfriend and my other cat Kovu right away.
