Urban Chill says: Kittens in Chile don't have very comfortable lives. :-( Shelley is one of many that my Chilean friend, Natalia, had. Strays come, stay for a while and have kittens. Most of them die, some live. Mothers usually disappear after a year or so, then some of the kittens grow up and stay, or never come back. Shelley was very cute. I photographed her in 2006. I went back in 2008 and she was no longer there.

I've posted before because of the furry children in my life. Their stories are all beautiful and sad, and it is heart-breaking to hear of this little one when I know I could've never reached her.

However, at the same time I want to share something else I feel. It is the trials and tribulations of our lives which make things truly golden. While we know not her end and can assume with heavy hearts that she has not led the most comfortable of lives, we can rest assured that during the brief time that our photographer saw her, she was happy. And perhaps, because of these glimpses we now get, she lives on somehow in bliss, feeling the love we all radiate toward her.

Thank you, Natalia. Thank you, photographers. And thank you, little Shelley-kitten. I hope that the warmth I feel for you now brings you some comfort, wherever you are.

Shelley is a Centerfold Kitty was my first reaction.

Her presence took my breath away.

The story hurt my heart, but Birdy's heart felt eloquent words expressed what I couldn't and I SO hope Shelley feels the communal warmth of love.

I read on and

Wish there was a way to reach out to the kitties that live there--sounds like they really are in dire need of help. There's lots of loving people here in the states who would be caring enough!!!!
