For quite a long time, Emelia Schwartz had been asking for a kitten. And for Christmas, Emelia, who is almost 4 years old, got her wish. She got Lito.
But the new kitty isn’t just any rescue cat. Lito survived the devastating storms that hit Puerto Rico last year. The 5-month-old kitten came to Colorado thanks to a volunteer at the Eagle Valley Humane Society.
Schwartz says Lito is happy. “She always comes on my bed and snuggles with me,” Schwartz said.
Vail Daily reported Frijolito -- or Lito for short -- was only two weeks old when she was found wandering by hotel workers at a resort on the island of Culebra.
