Grooty Fledermaus Finds A Friend! by D. L. Kruse
Born a barn-baby, abandoned and shunned by the other cats for being different, Grooty Fledermaus is a lonely little kitten who has a heart as big as his name but who most certainly won’t survive the upcoming winter without help. But when Katie, a young girl who is trying to cope with being ill and who has needs of her own, finds him and rescues him, she has no idea of the most wonderful and secret gift Grooty is about to give her in return!
