Just as no one could have predicted this pandemic, no one predicted the number of people wanting to adopt during this difficult time. More and more individuals and families started looking for a new furry family member and, much to the delight of the staff, they adopted older cats or those with special needs who really shone in. the open environment of BFF. It seemed the pandemic had given people time to acclimate these deserving animals to their homes.
In April, BFF had her very first triple adoption! Buddy Guy and Sonny Boy (a double adoption) and Mickey Rooney were all adult residents in a room devoted to cats with feline lower urinary tract disease. There were a number of cats with this medical condition and our vets decided that as long as they were all on the same special diet they could be in a cage free room. In particular, Buddy Guy, struggling with other medical issues as well, felt a lot of stress living in a cage. Once the three cats moved into the room, they were able to enjoy a more comfortable and carefree life. It was there that a staff member introduced Buddy Guy and Sonny Boy to their adopters. When the couple saw that Mickey Rooney would be left alone in the bedroom, they opened their hearts and said they wanted to adopt him too! These cats went to a happy home with very caring and compassionate people.
