There’s A New Cat In Town: Cat Of The Alamo Officially Named

Source: The Inquisitr

There’s a new kitty cat patrolling the historic grounds of the Alamo, and she’s ready to make visitors feel welcomed and to catch as many mice as she can.

The official cat of the Alamo is named Miss Isabella Francisca Veramendi de Valero. Don’t worry; her nickname is Bella, according to the Associated Press. The Texas General Land Office made the official announcement over social media on Thursday, replacing the former official cat, C.C., which is short for Clara Carmack.

C.C. was euthanized last July after roaming the Alamo grounds for 18 years.

C.C. used to be a beloved icon from the Alamo. She was the subject of many souvenirs for sale from the Alamo gift shop, some of which included postcards and stuffed animals.
