Bookroo's summary

Rana's life is in turmoil with a new house, absent parents, and visiting grandparents. Amidst this chaos, a scraggly kitten appears at her door. Both feeling out of place, Rana and the kitten form an unexpected bond. Can Rana convince her family to welcome this new friend into their lives, or will the chaos prove too much? Discover how a small act of kindness can change everything.

From the publisher

In this companion book to the popular Dear Whiskers, a scraggly, wide-eyed kitten comes meowing at Rana’s doorstep. Rana knows she’s in for trouble–her family has just moved to a new house, her parents are about to take a week’s vacation, and her grandparents are coming all the way from India to stay at their home for a week. There’s no time to care for a new pet. But the kitty looks as lonely as Rana feels in her new school, and both of them could use a friend. Can’t her family make room for just one more?
