Check out this PURR-fect update! ❤

"Hello! We are having so much fun with Richard, who we have now renamed Auggie. He is one of the sweetest cats we have ever met, even with his devious side. He purrs as soon as he sees us walk into his bedroom, although he hasn’t quite figured out calming down to snuggle yet. He loves to play more than anything! He’s been eating great, and still no accidents outside of his litter box!! He was a fast favorite at our vet’s office when he went in for his first round of vaccines. Everyone who meets Auggie loves him instantly.
Auggie has become very fast friends with our second youngest, Aspen (who was also adopted from Wayside!). We have been doing very slow supervised introductions. They love to play together and she grooms him when he lets her. It’s so heartwarming to watch."
