Nine-year-old Emily has always dreamed of having a kitten to call her own, while her brother Tom longs for a puppy. They've asked and asked for a pet, perhaps a little too much, and now their parents have decided: no pets whatsoever! But when Emily and her mother are out Christmas shopping, a faint cry from a nearby alleyway stops them in their tracks. As snow begins to fall, they discover a tiny, lost kitten, shivering and alone. With the local animal shelter closed until after Boxing Day, they have no choice but to take the kitten home for Christmas.

Emily dares to hope that her parents might let her keep the kitten, if only she can keep it out of trouble for long enough!

Join Emily on her heartwarming adventure as she helps a lost kitten find its forever home at Christmas.
