I'm Diego (Page 1)
Diego was rescued by the good folks at
Animal Trustees Of
Austin .
He was born into a litter of feral cats and his foster family rescued
him from a drainage pipe along with his mom and litter mates when he
was about a week old.
We adopted him on April 7, 2001 at the age of 8 months.
The tiny kitten rescued from the drain pipe was given the name
Fox by his foster family. While we didn't want to disregard
the
love and good care he received in his foster home for the first 7+
months of his life, we also wanted to give our new boy a name beginning
with D as a tribute to Duncan's memory.
So Diego's full name - Diego Fox - It's always nice to have
a middle name so Mom or Dad can use two names to call out their
sternest warnings!
This is the picture that was on the Animal Trustees Of Austin
website that Debbie saw.
It's Diego at about 1 month of age. Who could have resisted
that face?
July 2001 and Diego still has his bright pink nose!
Diego made himself at home quickly. Here he learns to scale
the cat tower....
Too cute to get into trouble ....
Looking to his human for guidance (or food!)...
Diego never got to meet Duncan...
But Duncan's spirit is always nearby.
It makes you wonder....
