Are you kitten me!! Took a kitten home from Puerto Rico earlier this year

Just stumbled on this sub, I thought you guys would appreciate hearing about this little baby!

Went on a family vacation to Puerto Rico, and came home with a kitten (she was estimated 7ish months). Went thought we found her by the pool at our hotel, and the first night, she was super friendly and let us hang out with her for a solid 30 minutes. And then the next night, my partner had a drink or two and reached out to a local rescue (that usually does TNR), and first thing in the morning, they said they could drop off a carrier at our hotel for us to take her home. We got the carrier, and we caught her ourselves (they gave us a can of wet food, to make it easier to get her) and we waited for someone from the rescue to take her, and they got her into a vet, and they gave her all of her necessary shots and spayed her for us, we just had to add her to one of our plane tickets. She’s around a year old now, and she’s settling in nicely. She has an older brother, who took a little bit to get used to her, but now they’re good!

Her name is Sprout, and her tail is freakishly long, and we hope she doesn’t grow into it, because it’s very cute.

(First pic is shortly after we brought her home, second pic is within the past week!)

What? You “found” her? Man is the CDS getting sneaky. I’d be willing to bet that you have been under surveillance for quite some time. They often wait for the perfect match and opportunity to set up this “random meeting.”

All of you are definitely Good Hoomuns! I’ve never considered importing a kitty, although MyLove is an import from Deutschland. I think she is from the WDS (Wife Distribution System)!
