The Start Of It All

For the longest time I had wanted to get a pet. I love cats, but unfortunately, the husband is allergic. After a long while of me pestering him for a pet he finally turned to me and said "If god wants us to have a pet, he'll give us a pet." That night, we go to bed. Suddenly, Jerry goes downstairs after hearing a crash. He comes back upstairs and says "Hun, take out your earplugs. We've got kittens." I go downstairs and see a hole in the dining room ceiling and a little kitten on the floor. Apparently, a cat had tried to move her litter into the ceiling and it had collapsed under the weight.
The hole in the ceiling
Scared Mama Cat
We named him Geronimo
We grabbed the biggest box we could find and put kitten number one in it
Named this one Leo at first...

Then we checked the hole and found kitten number 2. It became very apparent that kitten number 1 belonged to the Mama Cat that fell through, but kitten number 2 seemed to have been abandoned in the hole by a different cat. Eventually, Mama Cat escaped the house and kitten number 1 was returned to her. But that left us to deal with kitten number 2. After bottle feeding her every 2 hours for a couple of weeks, she mewed and snuggled her way into our hearts and Cleo finally became a part of the family.
