Lupita Nyong'o was adamant about not changing her rescue cat's name when she adopted him. For the award-winning actress, the name of her new furry friend held a special significance that she was not willing to alter.
When Lupita first laid eyes on the adorable cat at the local animal shelter, she instantly felt a connection with him. His large soulful eyes and gentle demeanor tugged at her heartstrings, and she knew in that moment that he was meant to be a part of her life.
As she filled out the adoption papers, the shelter staff informed Lupita that the cat's name was Simba. A fitting name for a majestic and regal-looking feline, but Lupita had a feeling that there was more to the name than met the eye.

The name Simba held a special significance in African culture, symbolizing strength, courage, and leadership. It was a name that resonated deeply with Lupita, reminding her of the values instilled in her by her family and community.
As Lupita cradled the cat in her arms, she whispered softly to him, "Simba, you are coming home with me." She felt a sense of responsibility towards the cat, as if he was meant to be a part of her journey in some way.
