Freya’s Nine Lives
Huiyi Liu
Behind every stray cat’s wary gaze lies an unseen crisis: with 70 million feral cats roaming the U.S., their unchecked
litters account for 80% of kittens born each year. But the odds are merciless, half will die within twelve weeks, and
75% vanish before six months. Those who survive face short, hard lives, averaging just 2–5 years on the streets compared
to 12–15 in loving homes.
This is the cycle.
And you hold the power to break it.
Freya’s Nine Lives isn’t just one cat’s story, it’s the truth for millions. Through her journey, you’ll witness the
preventable tragedies of overpopulation, shelter overcrowding, and societal indifference. But you’ll also find hope: in
adoption, in foster programs, and in the simple choice to care.
The numbers are staggering, but the solution starts with us.
Will you turn the page?
