I got Peanut when I was in Bacolod 2 years ago. A former student posted online about a kitten in their village who was abandoned. The moment I saw his photo I knew I had to have him. Br Irwin and I helped co-parent him. We had to bottle feed him! It was a can of Peanuts in Br Irwin’s office that gave him his name. We thought he was a girl at first but later on found out he was a boy.
