Chase Winters is 21 years old, lives in his college dorm, and is currently halfway to a grad student. He’s kind, a bit bashful, and definitely a socializer. But in a sea of people, he’ll still feel lonely.

Things changed for him once he found an abandoned kitty on the side of the road. It was a cliche stormy night, and a life was rescued.

He told himself he would take the stray to a humane society, since pets weren’t allowed in the dorms, but making sure it was okay all night had changed his heart.
