Frito was born to a stray cat mama, Moonshine who was rescued by Jean at 4a.m. a few hours after she rescued another very pregnant cat named Vidalia. Frito was in the same litter with Bijou (the runt of the litter), Basil the kitty and Otis.

"Frito was a wonderful little kitten, eager to play and full of confidence. He had such curiosity and liked being the center of attention," said Jean.

"Growing up, Frito enjoyed nothing more than a romp with his brother Otis. I can't tell you how wonderful it is that he was adopted together with his brother. Otis and Frito continue to have a blast with each other."

"Frito has grown long and lean, an impressively handsome orange classic tabby. I am thrilled to get regular updates about both orange boys, and I plan to visit them later this week!"
