In a post captioned, A little voice whispered to me that it was time to embrace change and new possibilities. So, a dear friend held my hand through the process and took me to visit my first animal shelter. I fostered Yoyo, and three days into it, I knew I could not give him up. It may look like I saved Yoyo, but really, Yoyo is saving me. Lupita Nyong’o implied that the cat, Yoyo, was helping her heal from her recent breakup.
In another part of her caption, Nyong’o shared some adorable information about Yoyo, including his small quirks and favourite things. “HE HATES being alone. He is a HUGE foodie,” she wrote. “He has very specific tastes in wand toys. He drinks only water that’s running. There’s no hope for the bugs in the house. You shouldn’t trust him with vitamins.”
