The story
She was found as a stray. She now owns four cameras. Sixty-nine minutes in the court of Her Majesty Helen, from foundling to the crown, and the mystery of the missing Royal Seal. A nature-documentary parody told in nine chapters, cut from Helen’s real cat-cam footage and narrated like a royal chronicle.
Helen arrived at the Woman’s Club of Winter Park as a stray young mother with two kittens. Club members spent weeks earning her trust and gathered both kittens safely. She was named for Helen Morse, who founded the club in 1915. Today she is safe, spayed, and thoroughly loved, and four cameras follow her day. Read her full story.
