“Bruno is a 7-year-old Maine coon, that enjoys scratches, cuddles, and naps. He is a love bug and a momma’s boy for sure. He was raised with another cat, Gus who passed in 2019. He was very lonely without Gus, his bro. So on Halloween, he got a new little sister, Buffy. She is a long-haired Russian Blue, who loves to play, play some more, and nap on daddy’s lap. These two are fast friends and can be found sleeping together or sitting on the couch with their parents. They both have their own Instagrams as well. Bruno is @bros_before_treats and Buffy is @iamlilbuffy!”

Pet of the Week: “He coos like a pigeon when announcing himself.”

“Pumpernickel (a.k.a. Nicky) just wants to be in the mix. He was adopted with his brother and sister, but quickly stood out as the chocolate velvet star. He coos like a pigeon when announcing himself, has a high-pitched meow for when he’s hungry, and a deep purr when he’s properly attended to. As kitty parents we recently came to realize that often his agitated whining isn’t for food or treats, but to be held in our arms where he purrs contentedly as he looks out from high above his kingdom. He is only five months old but already seeking big adventures. We hope we can keep him on his toes, and that, even when he’s all grown, he still lets us baby him from time to time.”
