My Story

Meow~ My name is Deedee, and I’m a boy! I think I’m around 7 years old this year (2025).

It was another hot summer day in South Florida. I don’t remember how many days I had spent wandering around the shop… I was so hungry and thirsty. A few raccoons had attacked me and wouldn’t leave me alone. My tail was bitten — it was hairless and bleeding.

I missed my home, my grandma, and our soft bed. I swear I was a good boy; I never caused trouble. I didn’t know why I had been left there. I was too scared to meow for help, and I’d never stayed outside for so long by myself. I felt hopeless and thought I was going to die there…

Until I saw a girl in a green dress. She looked at me and called out softly. I meowed back, but then… she left. My heart sank. I wished she could have taken me home.

But not long after, I heard a familiar voice — it was her! She came back with food and water! I couldn’t believe it. I walked straight to her and started eating right away. She even brought my favorite canned food, but it was inside a pet carrier. I didn’t hesitate — I just walked in.

Soon, I was taken to a warm house with a small yard. There were already some cats living there — some friendly and curious, others… not so welcoming. For the first week, I stayed in my own room while I recovered and visited the vet for shots.

Then I was officially introduced to my new family. Not everyone liked me at first, but that’s okay — my human mom, Juju, and Pipi love me, and that’s all that matters.

Now, I finally have a safe home again. 🏡❤️
