Diana belonged to a homeless person. I once passed by and played with her. He was in a wheelchair, and she was on an improvised bed. I thought one of her eyes had a problem because it was smaller than the other. Only later did I realize it was due to a birthmark – one eye had it, and the other didn't. One day, leaving the mall with my wife, he was there again with her. Suddenly, he held her and asked if we wanted her. I hesitated, but my wife didn't. We adopted her because he said he couldn't manage to take care of her anymore. He asked for nothing in return. We received one of the greatest gifts of our lives.

Diana era de um sem-teto. Eu passei uma vez e brinquei com ela. Ele estava em uma cadeira de rodas e ela em uma caminha improvisada. Pensei que um de seus olhos estava com algum problema, pois estava menor que o outro. Só mais tarde percebi que era devido a uma manchinha de nascença que um tinha e o outro não. Um dia, saindo do shopping com minha esposa, ele estava lá de novo com ela. De repente, ele a segurou e perguntou se nós a queríamos. Eu hesitei, mas minha esposa não. Adotamos, pois ele disse que não estava dando conta de cuidar dela. Não pediu nada em troca. Ganhamos um dos maiores presentes de nossas vidas.

Billy and Mandy were another one of those surprise adoptions. I was at home when I received a message via WhatsApp. It was a photo of an abandoned kitten in the little square I frequent. Nobody rescued him, they just left food and the person asked that I also bring food. But, I believe she knew I wasn't going to do just that, hence the reason for sending the message. I don't like people pushing their responsibilities onto me, but there was nothing more to be done, as I couldn't ignore the matter anymore. I grabbed the carrier and went to the little square. He was in the back, near a bush. In the same place as the photo. When I went to pick him up, he ran into the bush. As it was dark and the bush was a bit thorny, it was difficult to grab him. That's when I saw there was another cat, meaning they also didn't tell me there were two. I managed to put them in the carrier and take them home, where the gray one became Mandy and the other, Billy, in honor of the cartoon, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.

Recebi um pedido de resgate pelo Whatsapp: um gatinho abandonado na pracinha. Embora relutante em assumir mais responsabilidades, fui até lá. Para minha surpresa, encontrei dois gatinhos escondidos em um arbusto espinhoso. Com dificuldade, consegui capturá-los e levá-los para casa. Decidi chamá-los de Billy e Mandy, em homenagem ao desenho animado.

Juquinha (or Juca Bala) was one of the most unusual adoptions. One day I was going out for a walk with Diana, Guerrero, and Ursa, and when I left the building and turned right, I came across a man lying on the subway grate. He seemed to be sleeping, perhaps from being intoxicated. That wouldn't have been anything out of the ordinary if... on top of his enormous belly, there wasn't a little black kitten sleeping. As soon as I walked by, he woke up and started coming towards me. Not knowing what to do, I had to think fast, as he could have gone into the street where there is heavy car traffic. As a friend was passing by at the time, I asked her to hold the dogs and I picked up the black kitten and went up to my apartment. My wife was home. She opened the door, I handed her the kitten, she didn't ask any questions, and closed the door. To this day, I find that scene surprising.

Juquinha (ou Juca Bala) foi uma das adoções mais inusitadas. Um dia eu estava saindo para passear com Diana, Guerrero e Ursa e, quando saí do prédio e virei pra direita, me deparei com um homem deitado no gradeado doMetrô. Ele parecia estar dormindo, talvez por estar alcoolizado. Isso não seria nada demais se... em cima de sua enorme barriga não repousasse, dormindo, um filhotinho de gato preto. Assim que eu passei perto ele acordou e copmepu a vir na minha direção. Sem saber o que fazer, tive que pensar rápido, pois ele poderia ir para a estarada onde a movimentação de carros é intensa. Como uma amiga passava na hora, pedi que elea segurasse os cães e peguei o gatinho preto e subi pro meu apartamento. Minha esposa estava em casa. Ela abriu a porta, eu entreguei o gatinho, ela não fez nenhuma pergunta e fechou a porta., Até hoje acho essa cena surpreendente.
