We went through a collage of names trying to find something. Our original pool was:
I also loved all the suggested names that y’all left in the comments, especially Raja. Additionally I considered Athena, Artemis, Erowyn, Xena, and Bleu..anyway, poor kitten was going to end up being called “kitten” if I dwelled on it much longer.
Last night my husband took me around to every SPCA, cat shelter, cat find-a-new-home-cause-someone-sucks-and-didnt-get-their-cat-spayed place. In the beginning, we found plenty of cats that were wonderful and sweet, but I found none that said “that’s our new family” member.
I just know when its the right fit.
Then the last place we visited, literally 5 minutes before they closed, I found this baby:
I will never be able to replace any of the pets we lost, but my home will always be open for a rescue. I find it fitting that Sebastian was a rescue and we have a new baby that is also a rescue. I think he would be proud that his soul allowed another pet a forever family.
Its only been a night, but I can feel my heart filling with love for this new baby and I am glad to be her mom. Last night in the middle of the night she woke up, came up to my face, and licked it. It made me grin at 3am.
Now she needs a name..this is where you come in. Our house currently houses a “Caesar Napoleon” (abandoned), “Little Kitty” (Stray), and Paprika (rescued from a trailer with about 100 cats). Our furbabies that have passed are Sebastian (SPCA rescue), Mei Sei Mae (abusive home rescue), and Enigma (stray).
My DH likes the name Calypso and I like the name Seraphina.
She has one tiny spot of white under her chin, so I also thought “Dot” (he he, dot.com), but that may be too stupid.
Im not all over common names when it comes to my pets.
Suggestions?
I don’t have a picture to put up right now. I’m thinking about it. Honestly, I’m still sad. I’m not looking for sympathy or empathy.
updated video- I am not so wordless today. (hit sound button for sound, it does not start automatically)

You all have really warmed my heart and tolerated my tirade yesterday, but I woke up and I just have this feeling of ‘what did i do?”. Maybe I should have let her have one more day at home to snuggle. I just think I did the wrong thing. We felt so devastated by the news at that moment. We should have never made that decision at that time. It was too permanent. The sad part is that my dad talked to me before and said be sure what you do, you cannot take it back. He told me that he put a pet to sleep and regretted it every day since. She was still loving us and she has been living with it for months and months. I was her mother. I failed her the last minute of her life by not letting her be with our family one more day. To hang outside in the sun, to eat a meal, to sleep on the bed and be with us. I don’t think Ill ever forgive myself. My dad was right. Figures.
