Happy adoption stories

Many of our adopters, volunteers, donors and friends send us stories and photos of the animals who give them so much joy. We dedicate this space to all of you whose lives have been changed by animals.

Happy adoption story: Bruce

Bruce

We adopted Bruce in October last year – and what a start we had with this wee fella. For the first two nights, he kept me up 'til three in the morning running around the house like crazy; up my curtains, around my bedroom, and up and down the stairs. From that day on, I knew he was going to fit right into our house with the bunch of crazy kids that live here. Bruce is full of character. He runs around the house like a lunatic; he chases you up the stairs, and it's a race to your bedroom with him. He also follows you to the toilet and when you want a shower, he is right there in the bathroom. He likes to get into the toilet and smack the water, as well as his water fountain he got for Christmas – he tries to tip it over like he does with drinks. He's a crazy boy that is so loving, and he loves his belly rubs.He's not a fan of going outside, but he seems to think he can catch birds inside when he sees them outside, and goes racing up to the window to try. Safe to say he loves it here, and he is an amazing cat to have. We love our Brucey boy.
