The Heartwarming Story of Owena Josephine: How a Kitten Became the Wildcats’ Lucky Charm
It was a typical September evening when I spotted something unexpected on the road—a tiny, black kitten. As we were heading to our son’s soccer game, I quickly pulled into the nearest driveway and dashed towards the small furball. Waving at passing cars to slow down, I managed to rescue her, relieved to find she was unharmed.
I rushed back to the car, wrapped the kitten in my jacket, and jokingly told my husband, “Hold this kitten – we’re going to be late for the game!” When we arrived at the stadium, I smuggled the kitten in, and soon word spread about our new furry friend. Even one of the security guards stopped by to admire her.
The soccer game that night seemed destined to be a loss. Our son’s team was up against their arch-rival, and no one expected a win. But to everyone’s surprise, the boys played their best and won in an upset victory! My husband, who had insisted during the first half that we wouldn’t be keeping the kitten, was soon charmed. By the end of the game, he was suggesting possible names for her.
The team quickly adopted her as their lucky charm, and she became the unofficial mascot of the Owen J Roberts Wildcats. We named her Owena Josephine in honor of the school and the team, and I created keychains with her picture and the school’s Wildcat logo for each of the players.
From a tiny kitten found on the road to a beloved family member, Owena has grown into a sleek and gorgeous cat. She’s now an integral part of our family and continues to be a symbol of good luck and community spirit.
