Tina (Short for Valentina) showed up on our back porch late one night on Valentine’s day. We were enjoying a peaceful evening, when out of nowhere, the dogs started going berserk. We ran outside to find a small, young, scruffy, terrified little ball of black fuzz on the back porch. We brought her in, settled her down, and started looking for her owner online right away. After a bunch of hard searching and still no luck, it was clear Tina was a new member of the family. We took her to the vet, got her all checked up, and gave her medicines for various ailments she picked up while on the run. However after several weeks went by, we noticed she had started getting somewhat big…

After a vet visit, they told us that she had two-three kittens in her. When the day came, she had five! Tiramisu, Toastada, Enchilada, Moon Pie, and Biggy smalls- in that order.

Tina proved to be an excellent mom, and all too soon her little babies grew up. Biggy got adopted, but the rest still live here with their momma.
