Jingles

Well howdy there, folks. I'm Mr. Jingles. I've had some time living off the land and now I'm living in this highfalutin place called Milo's Sanctuary. Ya see, I was just a kitty making my way on the streets. I was born on them streets and I was ready to live my life out there. Some kind folks left food and were kind towards me. One day I went to eat and couldn’t smell my food at all. I didn’t even know it was food. My nose was all swollen and sore. Turns out some bird droppings I had been sniffin' had this fungus in them and they had taken over my schnoz. I had cryptococcus and was in real bad shape there for a while. I didn’t know what to eat and frankly, didn’t feel like eating. Well, them nice humans got me to Milo’s doctor and they were in for a surprise. All along they had called me Mrs. Jingles. Joke’s on them, I’m no lady! I am a mister through and through. Now that I’m at Milo’s, I get to have medicine twice a day and I sure do think it’s nice. I feel much better nowadays, and I’ve even made some friends along the way. Ya know, I’ve been a lucky kitty. I’ve been shown lots of love by humans, both at the sanctuary and from friends like you that help support me.
