After a cat's quinceaera went viral, strangers donated thousands to a pet shelter
Miranda Gonzalez hired a mariachi band but didn’t tell them the quinceañera was for a cat for fear they would drop out.
The teenager, wearing a gold dress and a silver crown, entered her birthday party in a small white Bentley. Bubbles flew into the clear sky as 50 Cent’s “In da Club” played on a large speaker and dozens of guests cheered.
Thus began the extravagant quinceañera for Holly, a 15-year-old cat from Houston.
The quinceañera, which celebrates a girl’s transition into adulthood in Latin American cultures, featured traditional elements: a mariachi band, an elaborate cake and a father-daughter dance.
