Cocoa is Tortie of the Week

Cocoa is Tortie of the Week
We have Tortie of the Week with a difference this week. Our featured Tortie is Ms Cocoa Pebbles Mozelle and her owner Chelise has included a lovely poem we have included below.

Cocoa
Cocoa is a 4 year old tortie, and she has been living with Chelise since she was adopted from a local animal shelter during the pandemic.
Like most torties, she has all of the tortie-tide - she definitely has her one person and the rest of the house doesn’t get a look in!
She has an older calico sibling and together they are double trouble getting into everything and with attitude to boot.
Chelise wrote a poem about her as below:
The Coffee House Kitten
I adopted a Tortie kitten named Cocoa
Who has tons of Espresso energy making her loco
Two deep cups of drinking chocolate for eyes
Staring at me looking loving, curious, and wise
Iced coffee tinted belly so soft, round, and warm
Her low roaring purr resembling a quiet storm
Carmel Macchiato dripping from her frothed milk chin
Trotting into the room she gives my heart a big grin
Café Con Leche is the dip of her tail
Don’t feed her on time, and you will definitely hear her wail
Sweet as Mocha with a Café Au Lait soaked leg
She fits in our family like the perfect round peg
Adopt, don’t shop I can’t make it more plain
Love, friendship, and joy there’s so much to gain
Who adopted who, I really can’t say
All I know is that I love her a Latte
Thanks to Chelise for sharing these details and writing this beautiful poem. Look out for her picture on our X, Facebook and Instagram pages. You can also check out tortie videos on our You Tube channel.
