Cover Boy Don Diego

In February of 2011, I wrote an article published in the PV MIRROR titled “Giorgio’s Journey”. It told the story of a beautiful Himalayan mix kitty who was adopted at the PuRR booth at Old Town Farmers’ Market by Tom Fitzgerald, renamed Don Diego, and traveled to Denver. At the time Tom said “Diego must have chosen me, because I abandoned my normal engineer’s analytics and just went with my heart. I didn’t realize it at the time, but there was a huge hole in my heart & soul, and Diego has done wonders to fill that hole with love.” Don Diego went on to be our Calendar Cover Boy on the first PuRR Calendar in 2013!

It’s ten years later. Tom writes: “He is still alive and well and an absolute joy to me. Still very playful and affectionate. He’s my best friend! That’s partially because he’s so awesome and also due to the pandemic keeping me hunkered down here endlessly. He LOVES chasing cat treats and sliding across the hardwood floor…….we play this little game several times a day. And he loves having me chase him around the house. I want to thank you again for giving me Diego!!! He’s my boy, and I love him!!”  WOW. We love stories like this.
