An avid cat lover Erica Bowers of Peachtree Corners in Norcross, Ga. was awakened by several quiet whimpers outside her window last week. The sounds came from a precious smoke Grey cat. She walked outside and gave the cat food and water. Little did she know that this would become her daily routine. After the third day she gave the cat a name---'Little Man'.

However, because of her apartment regulations, she is not able to house another cat outside the two that she already have. But this does not prevent her heart from sinking every morning when Little Man shows up for another dose of her love. She is urgently requesting the help of other cat lovers to give Little Man a happy and loving home. Erica acknowledges," I am sure he needs to have a veterinarian visit scheduled to make sure his has all of his shots".

"The first time I looked into his beautiful hopeless eyes, I was hooked. It hurts me so bad that I can't welcome him inside. I know that he would be the best pet for a young child or an older person. Can someone out there....PLEASE HELP ME ", explains Erica with a trail of tears flowing from both eyes.

This is not an unusual or uncommon story of innocent animals being left abandoned. With our bad economy and growing unemployment, cats like Little Man are being given their freedom to survive or die all on their own.

This is a sad but true story, that perhaps with your help can end with a smile on your face and the face of Little Man. For more information please contact Erica Bowers this week at 404-551-6382. Do you need a Little Man in your life?
