Here's Grande Caramel Latte's rescue story in her own words:

"Hi Gwen and Homer! My name is Grande Caramel Latte (Latte for short!). I was hit by something — maybe a car — when I was very little and someone brought me into a shelter. I was badly injured, and I recovered, but the trauma to my brain caused me to lose my sight. A few weeks later, my parents adopted me, and my mom read your book. She cried while reading sometimes, but she also said that Homer was a lot like me! I might be blind, but I don't know it, and I have plenty of fun running around, getting into cupboards and acting like any other crazy, loving kitty. So thank you of sharing your story of Homer. It meant a lot to both of us!"
