Looking for a kitten? Not for long…<\/p>\n
Welcome to Lubbock, where parking lots are essentially open-air adoption centers. It doesn’t matter if you’re at Target, Dollar General, Taco Villa, or Walmart \u2014 you’ll almost always find a furry little friend feasting on old French fries and desperately looking for love. Like swallowing a mouthful of dirt mid-sentence, rescuing a kitten or a puppy roaming solo in a Lubbock parking lot is a rite of passage…<\/p>\n

I don’t know what it would be like to live without one, but it sounds terribly sad.<\/p>\n
