JCPL Teens

Cocoa is black but has a lovely chocolate-colored undercoat. She is the Mama cat. She has never had kittens of her own but she raised Thomas and Mina. 

Thomas was adopted when he was only seven weeks old. He was badly injured and covered with maggots when he was rescued so the veterinary staff named him Maggot. When he was adopted they said he had to have a more respectable name. He was born on July 4^th so he became little Thomas Jefferson – Thomas, for short. 

Mina was a feral kitten when she was rescued. It was January and she was trapped in a neighbor’s garage. The wind chill was supposed to be 30 degrees below zero that night so we said if they caught her we’d take her. When they caught her she went after the lady’s hand like she was the Tazmanian Devil cartoon character so she was named Tazmina – Mina for short. 

Amber is our new puppy. She looks a lot like a fox at times so she was named for a fox-character in a book who was named Amber. Amber is about 9 months old in this picture.

Happy birthday Shelly!
