We've been very lucky to have some of the best kittens on the planet and have loved them all for their odd quirks. Let me Introduce you to them, past and present. Click the link on their names to see all of the posts related to them:
1994-2012
Ted was our first baby, born 17 September 1994 in Virginia Beach, VA. He was an unregistered Maine Coon with a serious love of bread and sweet muffins. He was a great big brother who lived to see two more little brothers before he passed. He was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 15 and later than year developed a brain tumor behind his eye. He was the best first cat in the world! He passed on 1 Nov 2012.
AKA: Spot, White Devil
1997-2014
Spotty Joe was born 3 Feb 1997 in Newport News, VA on 30th street by the shipyard. A true champ. He was 4 weeks old when we found him and his big brother Ted took to him immediately and showed him the ropes. He loved carrying his little puff balls around the house and screaming for us to play with him at 3 am. He was less interested in being a big brother to Boomer and even less when Jinx came in the picture. He was diagnosed with a thyroid issue at age 16 and he passed on 5 Nov 2014. My little baby bear!
AKA: Captain B, BB
2008-2016
Boomer was born 5 May 2008 in Virginia Beach, VA. Boomer was a Craigslist Cat and was the first of many ginger cats in our life. He was THE best big brother to Jinx, Isabella and baby Dexter Morgan. He loved to cuddle and clean them whenever anyone needed to be cuddles. He passed unexpectedly from a massive heart attack on 8 April 2016. He will always be my first and best ginger cat.
AKA: Jinxie, Big Jinx,
Jinx was the last of the Craigslist cats! He was born 26 March 2013 in Suffolk, VA, one of 5 little guys who were about 3 weeks old when their mama was taken from them. We got this little guy and named him after Jinx the Robot from the 80's movie Space Camp and a little after the Aibo Robot Dog we had in Italy. He's an ODD little guy who just wants to sit in the backyard, eat grass and annoy his sister and brother. He tries to be the alpha, but it's just not in his nature.
AKA: Izzy, Izzy Bear, Bella, Bella Bear, Grrrr, Grrrzabell, Grrrzies, Murder Bear,
Born 2014
Isabella was actually named Mistletoe in the Animal Care and Adoption Center as she was put up for adoption in December 2014. She was born on 3 August 2014 somewhere in Virginia Beach, VA. We went to the adoption place after Boomer passed in a few months before. I took one look at her in the cage, first pic above, and COULD NOT leave without her. She was sneezing, coughing and just looked like she needed me. She did. She was named for Queen Isabella "the She Wolf" of France and many did that suit her attitude!
AKA: Dex, Dexxy, DD, DD Morg, Tiny, Deeders
Born 2015
My little Dexter Morgan, or as he was known in the shelter, JoJo. He was born 6 June 2015 in Virginia Beach, VA. He's a half munchkin kitten and is the neediest of the needy. He LOVES his mama and that's about it! He loves treats, his toys and annoying us at 3 am. He was named for the original Dexter Morgan from the Showtime tv series.
AKA: RJ, Kylo Ren
Born 2016
THIS GUY! He was adopted through the Animal Care and Adoption Center and was originally named Elliot. Rocket seemed pretty perfect as the first few weeks, he wouldn't sit still long enough for a picture! He was born 29 Jan 2016 in Virginia Beach, VA. He walked in the house on the first day and basically said, this is MY house now.. Give me your toys! That was it. He's awesome and amazing!!
AKA: Ollie, OC, O-Town, Vers, Vervies, Berb
Born 2017
This one was a little more dramatic than most kittens. He barely would come out and his eyes were crusted over. His foster mom said he was sweet and just needed to be loved. DONE! His adoption center name was Blackberry and he was born 17 September 2017. He needed a strong name, so I went with Oliver Cromwell. Ollie was tough to get acclimated to the house and it took months for him to get used to it here. He was diagnosed with Mycoplasma Felis and severe rounds of antibiotics for an ear infection later, he's much better. This cat LOVES L O V E S food. All food, especially my food!
AKA: Ezzy, The Phantom Menace
Born 2021
Latest baby to come home. He was born 5 May 2021 in Norfolk and was found at a Car Wash. Little did we know when we picked him at the shelter that he was also going to be INSANE. He's part bengal so he's loud, chews on things and is all around big dork! He's the sweetest little baby and loves to give kissy-faces, cuddle and make biscuits/nurse on blankets when his parents try to sleep.
