My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a remarkable story of a cat that faces challenges we all face today. The author does a very good job taking us to the island of Belize, and the illustrations are amazing. My grandchildren loved the story of this little cat, and their favorite part was how he found his way to a new home.
