But there are “oops” moments and then there are “OOPS” moments and Florencia Lobo definitely had the latter when a trip to the vet revealed something surprising about the kitten she’d recently adopted. The little cat she’d rescued after finding its mother dead was not a stray, as she had thought, but was actually a puma. OOPS indeed…

It all started when Lobo and her brother discovered two kittens by the side of the road in Tucuman, Argentina. The two kittens were cuddled up next to their dead mother, and Lobo and her brother assumed that they’d found a family of stray domesticated cats.

Lobo decided to try to save the kittens and brought the pair home with her. The kittens were very young and very weak, and unfortunately one of them ended up passing away.

With both his mother and his sister now gone, the remaining kitten was all alone in the world. That is except for Lobo, who was determined to keep the little cat safe, healthy and loved.

She named him “Tito”, and under Lobo’s loving care, the adorable little cat grew stronger each day. Thanks to Lobo, Tito was able to survive and thrive despite losing his mother at such a young age.

Lobo did everything she could to keep her new furbaby in good health, and after Tito had lived with her for about two months, she scheduled a vet appointment for him.

There was nothing noticeably wrong with the kitten, but Lobo though it would be wise to get him checked out just to make sure that he didn’t have any hidden or underlying issues. But Lobo was in for a big surprise.
