I adopted Jack (formally Gad) in July of 2017. Previously, I had never owned a cat. But good news: Jack had never been anyone’s cat before, so we figured everything out together. I was told he was brought in as a stray, no mom, no siblings. He was considered a cautious kitten and need a little extra time to adjust. Jack learned to enjoy going for walks on his leash, make new friends with the neighbor dogs, and travel to relatives’ houses for the holidays. After a move to a new home, it felt like something was missing. At the beginning of November, I found Oliver (formally Hammy). Oliver has a story just like Jack. He was found alone with no siblings or mom. It felt like fate. Oliver adjusted quickly to being part of a family, and Jack has fully embraced having a sibling. When the two of them aren’t playing chase, you will find them snuggled up together. Jack and Oliver have added so much happiness to our house. They make the house a home.
