Litty Kitter the Cat was purchased as a birthday gift for a young boy. As is the case with most live animals purchased as a "surprise gift" the cat is swept aside in favor of other presents that require a lot less care and work. Litty Kitter the Cat gets lost, becomes a homeless street cat, ends up at a No-Kill Shelter, and takes young readers on her adventure to find the "Purr-Fect Fur-Ever Family."
