Mr. Diego de la Vega

[u/Annual_Nobody_7118]

I kidnapped adopted this little one from the colony I feed every night (see third picture.) I'd adopt them all if I had the means...

Anyway, little baby was brought to the doc on Wednesday, and he's filled to the brim with every worm you can think of, and also coccidia. He's skin and bones, but his belly's tight like a snare drum and round like a barrel.

After about $500 (I'm still reeling; I had to use a CC that I don't know how I'm gonna pay off) he's cleared of FIV and leukemia, has all his shots, a bath and Revolution (did you know that EACH dose is about $30!!!???? Who has money for that every month! I have my two older kids!)

Anyhoo... since I saw him I thought of "Zorro." I grew up watching the Disney version, and the hero's name is Diego de la Vega. So, it's only fitting.

BTW, I couldn't figure out of I had a boy of a girl, and I was praying for a boy because my oldest, a tortie, would not accept my late little girl (RIP Luna.) And the Universe answered!

Diego is 4 months old, the snuggliest little bug you'll find, and he's desperate to mingle with his siblings (my tortie has already stated her distaste, obviously.)

He's separated for at least a week due to his many worms, and I had him in the bathroom (first pic) but he wouldn't stop crying and the space is so small I couldn't stay with him, so I had to find a solution (second pic.) He's doing amazing and his older brother is eager to play with him 🥰
