Oakstead Pets
Meet Malé (pronounced Malay)

| Malé was born in Málaga, Spain. Her mother was a
stray that would come into our rent-a-car facility by the airport every
once in awhile. On the morning of September 10, 2001, one day before
9/11, we found the stray cat in the trunk of a
totaled car with 5 newborn kittens. We let the mother raise the
kittens at the facility and when they were big enough, we tried to find
homes for them. I took one and named her Malé, short for "maletero",
which means "trunk" in Spanish. When I moved back to the US in
November of 2003, I brought Malé with me. She's a happy Oakstead
resident and I think she sleeps about 23 hours a day. What a life! Send comments to: Frank Estrada |
