“We were so lucky to be able to take him in (to the clinic),” Nan Collins says. “He has infection in both his eyes and ears, but other than that, he’s up to his old self.”

“Our family is all well, and our miracle cat is with me right now running around.”

She said that they gave him the unusual full name “Ricardo Blanco” because he reminded them of a “little movie actor.” “[He’s] so playful and full of life. He’s like a little puppy dog, always wanting to be beside you and take a walk.”

We can’t imagine the heartbreak this family must’ve went through thinking their beloved cat was killed in the hurricane, but it must’ve been such a relief to see Blanco home!
