Bruce's Story

I'm Bruce and I'm hoping third time will be the charm! I am looking for my retirement home, indoors only, without doggy or kitty doors. When I was young I had a family, but escaped and got lost. The family moved out of state and is unable to take me back. In the years I was missing from that family, another family was caring for me, but did not put their contact info on my collar so we can't find them. When my foster family found me I was in their front yard flirting with one of their cats through a window. My foster mom came outside to meet me and I let her pet me and pick me up. She found I was dirty and greasy, I had a small cut on the top of my head, and an eye infection. Since being found I'm cleaned up, healed up, and updated on all my vaccines. For a 7 year old guy who has been living outside I'm pretty healthy. I do only have 3 teeth left, which gives me a unique smile. I am looking for an indoor only home so I never get lost again. I love people and I get along with most other cats. I also enjoy wet food and catnip. I am outgoing and social, so I would probably be fine in a house with kids. If you are interested in meeting me please fill out the application below. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSck0Eiskm0qxEnm8qmMxlYRRoT2QgBl1qY-fbkpghq3ojtgxQ/viewform
