Twelve-year-old Kat feels the pressure to prove herself worthy of adoption by her foster family. With only two weeks, she faces obstacles at Starlight Animal Rescue and a demanding school project. As she takes on the role of 'cat shrink' for her classmates' pets, Kat wonders if her efforts will lead to success or overwhelming failure. Can she find her place in a world where animals and people alike seek belonging?

From the publisher

I haven’t done anything with my life. . . . I need to do something . . . like Mom and Dad and Hank do all the time. And I need to do it now. Meet 12-year-old Kat–short for Katharine. She thinks she has two weeks to do something worthy of being adopted by her wonderful foster family. But cancer, medicine, and the older kids at Starlight Animal Rescue make it difficult for Kat to really help out around the farm. On top of that, she’s just started junior high and has to work on a project with the most popular–and demanding–girl in her class. When Kat accepts the role of “cat shrink” for her classmates’ pets, could her success . . . or failure . . . be more than she can handle? Starlight Animal Rescue: Where problem horses are trained and loved, where abandoned dogs become heroes, where stray cats become loyal companions. And where people with nowhere to fit in find a place to belong.
