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?
Kelly @ The Self Help Mom says
He is absolutely adorable. I am glad you found happiness with your new kitty.
He looks like he is looking into your soul. Take care:)

Now, do not take this the wrong way, but kittly looks as soft as a cashmere sweater and I bet she is just a cuddler. So I like cashmere… Warm and soft.. Her coloring is beautiful and when my 18 month old saw kitty’s picture, he meowed (which he has never done before)
Deborah says
Oh Seraphina Dot sounds great!
Tammy says
Look at those blue eyes! I love them…so I would say “bluesy” or “blue eyes”
Tracey says
What a cutie! My vote is Seraphina, my daughter always uses that names when she is playing and I just love the may it sounds! I’m so glad that your heart is mending and you can help another kitty find a happy home!
Melissa says
I kinda like Dot, but sarcasm is my thing…
but I also like something like Myst … cause of her color or maybe Spooky (tis halloween after all)…
Laura @ GotChocolate says
I forgot to add that I suggested Blue Belle because I believe your new furball is a Russian Blue and Tabby mix.
Laura @ GotChocolate says
Not sure why my comment disappeared but how about Blue Belle? 🙂
Gorgeous kitty! Congrats! 🙂

What a precious little kitten! We recently “adopted” a stray 5 week old kitten who wandered into a neighbor’s yard. He’s now almost 6 months old. Such a sweetie! I will only adopt strays and shelter cats (and dogs).
How about Samantha? Or Natalia? Those are the names of two cats I had growing up who have since passed (Tal just 2 weeks ago).

Oh! Welcome to your new little darling. I’m glad she’s helping your tender heart heal. She’s awfuly cute!
How about Caesia. It’s latin for grey/blue, steel grey or having grey/blue eyes…
Katie says
Totally love Serafina/Seraphina. She is beautiful!
Jenna @ For The Love of Baby! says
What a sweetheart! I like Calypso lol

She is adorable and I think Seraphina is perfect!
Crystal @ Simply Being Mommy says
I don’t have a name suggestion, but she is adorable.
Candace says
Honestly? I think Seraphina is the best name look at her eyes, she just looks like a Seraphina!
Kelly W says
I suck at picking names too but I really think Dot is cute. She is so beautiful.
Andrea Hatfield says
I suck at picking names but she is adorable!
Alli says
My MIL used to have a teacup poodle that color and they called her Briquette, as in a charcoal briquette. Our new baby reminds me of her dog.
Alli says
that should say “your new baby” sorry.
Sarah says
So freakin’ adorable! I love her eyes. I’m terrible with names, but I actually think Calypso and Seraphina are cute.
Kimberly says
Seraphina is a pretty name. She is adorable!
[email protected] Spirit Mommy says
Seraphina is gorgeous, and fits her gorgeous eyes, too! She doesn’t deserve a common name, that’s for sure. 🙂
Karen of 3G2S says
Her eyes look like green granite and that makes me think of the word Pomegranate. I know one thing has nothing to do with the other. That’s the way my mind works though. 😛
hairstyles for girls says
She’s so cute! I love her eyes. My daughter’s suggestions for names are: Nala (from the lion king.) And Raja (from Aladdin.)
Cat @ 3 Kids and Us says
I’m so glad you found another kitty to love. I kinda like Dot or even Dottie.
Christine says
I actually love Calypso. How about Nugget?
Of course you have to realize I have named my cats Stubs, Doormat, and Fips.
Jennifer-Eighty MPH Mom says
OMG she is ADORABLE! I let out a high-pitched “awwww” when I saw her picture and scared the hell outta my cats lol. She is just precious!
How about “Josephine” – Josie for short?
Kathleen B. says
