Cristiano Ronaldo has always had at least a pet or two around him and he absolutely loves dogs. One of his oldest friends is a Labrador dog named Marosca. Nevertheless, over the years CR7 had the chance to adopt different pets and one of the lastest ones was a sphynx cat…

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the richest athletes on the planet. Cristiano owns several dogs: two Labradors, one named “Bobby Moore” (in homage to the well known English player) and the other one named “Marosca“.

He also owns a white poodle and a Yorkshire, named “Abelhinha“.

Finally, the newest member of the family is a cat called “‘Pepe“. It seems that Georgina is more of a cat person, that is why, some time ago, the family welcomed this sphinx cat into their home…

Pepe, the star of the family

Renowned for his big heart, Ronaldo does not hesitate to regularly make donations to people in need. But he also likes to spend his money. Thus, he bought for himself and his family a Sphynx cat for 2600 pounds. Its name is Pepe, in tribute to a former teammate of the footballer at Real Madrid and in the Portuguese selection.

We can say that Pepe quickly became the star of the whole family and the main topic of Internet users, because Cristiano and Georgina Rodriguez never hesitate to post their pet on social networks.

When Pepe was hit by a car

For some time, Pepe has been absent in the online field, and for good reason. Cristiano Ronaldo and his family had a big scare recently – because of their cat. He was the victim of a terrible accident.

The companion of the footballer confided: “He escaped from the house and was knocked down. He was close to death. After a month and a half in intensive care at the vet’s, we decided that my sister Ivana should take care of him. Pepe is now in Spain, recovering (…) Now he is in good hands.”

According to the Daily Mail, it was via private jet that Pepe was repatriated to Spain. But he was not alone, of course. Georgina Rodriguez was also on the plane. All that remains is to hope that the pet did not receive any long term injuries!
