These are the eyes of a stray cat in the neighborhood that is just about near death. It seems someone left her out and does not care for her. A friend of mine did name her and tried to care for her but moved and did not take her with him. I can not get her to come to me. I have tried to feed her but she does not want food from me. One day I saw her on the fence in the backyard. I took some phtos of her. She is a fluffy haired thing, gorgeous but it seems no one wants to love her. Her beautiful coat is falling out and she is rail thin. Esperanza means hope. She reminds me so much of the way the world is sometimes. She reminds me of the lost souls in the world, the lost loves and the lost innocents. It hurts to see the creatures of the world uncared for. Beautiful Esperanza reminds me much of myself too, I know what it is like to be forgotten and out on the street. If anyone would like to care for her I could try to catch her and send her to you. I am allergic to cats otherwise I might consider caring for her. Where I live right now it is not possible to have a cat anyway plus I already have a dog. Please think about Esperanza. Love Christine

beautiful!Robin Brown 30 Jan 2008
Cats choose the people they want to live with rather than the other way around. All you can do is leave food where she can get it. If she can get enough food she'll do ok till she decides where she wants to go next. Its very sad when people betray animals but thats what a lot of people do Christine. With a little luck & your help she'll do ok. Superb image.rb chakravartty 30 Jan 2008

Local SPCA would probably help,...I feel the same with cats in my neighborhood,....fortunately for all them a very caring woman across the street from me must love them beyond what I could because when she walks her dog around the block her cats follow her around the block too!!!! hehe ,...a prayer for her (and those forgotten on our streets in this world!!!),....in Jesus Name,...amen.Jessica Courtley-Rose 17 Jan 2008

I hate seeing any animal mistreated. Alas, I too, am alergic however, my wife has taken in four and my in-laws, who live with us, have three. All our cats were strays that wandered into our lives. I wish you well for your efforts.Chris Roukema 09 Sep 2007
Very Touching, Christine! Poor Souls. They are Everywhere! If Everyone was responsible We would not have these problems, I'm sure You Know! In Ottawa at Our Parliment Buildings there is a Place for some Stray Cats! There's even an Official Cat Keeper for them! Hopefully this Soul will find a Good Home! Thanks for sharing this!Joanna Jungjohann 09 Sep 2007

Hi there dear Christine...impressive portrait of ESPERANZA...It's sad that there are cats who has no one to feed or care for them,in our world..its the same everywhere unfortunately...Some care...some less.Perhaps if she would live near us,she might find an home...although also here alot on the street.Its even more sad to me...that some people does not know this beautiful charming pet...or object other people doing for cats..You already know that me as my family are ALL Cats lovers...my parents feed a group of outsiders at their small garden 2-3 times a day.The other day few days ago,my parents neighbor is about 40 ,a lawyer ,not so clever,if i may say so...He saw my father feeding the cats outside and said to my father...: "why are you feeding those cats "...Well...it only can show how "CLEVER" He is...Yesterday at my exhibition came several cat or animals lovers ..one told us she also feed cats outsiders...and she said also some people asked her the same question..WHY SHE FEED THE CATS..She answered..."when i feed these cats...do i take from your meal ...?..." I will ask - Without us who will feed these outsiders cats..WHO?..I wish many more people would adopt these splendid and so charming pets..it can bring so much happiness and relaxing and love...I'm so happy with my cats truly...I wish other will do the same...as well as education...but then look at that neighbor of my parents...he has 2 kids...what do they learn from him...i wonder...Some outsiders cats afraid from people...but always a food can be put ,left for them..and simply go,watch from far you'll see them eat.They'll eat.Dramatic and awesome portrait with splendid text added.Emily Reed 09 Sep 2007
