Theo was born in a lady's house which had over 50 cats on a cold December day in Norway. Only few days later he, his siblings, his mother and some other cats with kittens were rescued by an organization and then delivered to a different adoption organization called "Animals Helpers/ Dyrenes Hjelper".
At first he was on hold for a family who wanted to call him Bluder (or something) but when they realized that they had to pay for him, they didn't want him anymore.
Then a young woman who lived alone in a apartment, who thought it lonely to come home to no one, contacted the animal helpers to see if they had a small red kitten. They showed her a photo or the small kitten in a HUGE Christmas hat and the young woman fell in love at first sight at the small wonder.
She and the organization started to talk about the kitten. The woman had already found a name the moment she had seen the kitten on the photo and the name was "Theo". But she had to wait for him to become three months old which as still two months away. But at Theo grew older and stronger; the young woman went on a 40 minute drive just to visit the little wonder, and the kitten slept the whole visit, which was 3 hours long, in her arms or by her neck.
Finally after the long wait she was allowed to come and get him and they met half way, as Theo got into a brand new cat holder, with a warm blanket and many eyes to watch over him under the drive back to his new home.
Theo was so shy at first, he hadn't had much human contact at all by the time he came home to me. He always hid as soon as I stood up to go somewhere, but he didn't want to be left alone either but still always kept his distance.
Then the breakthrough came after three days when he finaly was brave enough to try to sleep right next to me by my pillow at night. After that Theo have become more and more loving towrds humans, and he is so curious and playful! But still, strangers are scary sometimes.
But oh, how he loves me, he can't even anymore be in another room where he can't see me, he has to be where he can follow me around everywhere! And if not, he calls for me afor a long period of time.
And I can't wait to watch him as he grows up and gets to discover more of the world!
