Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Not such a long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away, two keepers of the peace—er, PETA fieldworkers—entered a hoarder’s home in a small, rural district in southwestern Virginia. “I have a bad feeling about this,” they agreed. The hut, near Galax, Virginia, was full of small roaches and cats. The smell of cat urine was pungent. A local organization had alerted PETA to the property, where the main resident’s compulsion to collect cat after cat supremely outshone her competence in caring for the animals’ needs, including by providing veterinary care when they became sick. This was most abundantly clear in the case of one 4-month-old Siamese kitten: His gnarly upper respiratory infection (URI) had him looking more Jabba the Hutt than Grandmaster Yoda. Although the path to the Dark Side was paved and prominent, PETA fieldworkers chose light.
Feeling the Force, PETA convinced the hoarder to accept their help, including by whisking little Yoda—as the kitten, with his remarkable ears and wisdom beyond his years, was quickly dubbed—to safety. Fieldworkers scooped the mini kitty into their Community Animal Project van-shaped Millennium Falcon faster than Han Solo could say, “Chewie, we’re home.”
Once in PETA’s custody, it became even more clear what a luminous being young Yoda is. Despite feeling like the Dark Side warmed over, the small Siamese was quick to prove the feline force was with him. Yoda was promptly treated for the URI. And after spending time gaining strength and returning to the Light Side in a PETA staff member’s foster home, the feline fella was neutered, vaccinated, and given a clean bill of health by PETA’s veterinary team. At roughly 5 months old, this still-baby Yoda is keen to find his Jedi order, but one who understands he is the Grandmaster, of course. In foster care, this small but mighty guy has gotten on well with his feline foster friends as well as with the tiny humans who also occupy the hut.
