“My parents had been open to adopting another kitten to be friends with our one-year-old cat (Clara). With Moo Moo, they knew the second they saw him in the shelter that he was staying here, regardless of the outcome with his leg,” Alyssa told Love Meow.

“Right before we picked him up, he gained his new brother (Boo Boo). We weren’t sure we were ready to expand the family by two (we already had four cats), but it seemed so hard to imagine separating this pair.”

As days went by, the bond between the two grew even stronger, and Boo Boo became more confident around people. After Boo Boo was put up for adoption, Moo Moo continued to be his little ride or die, and never left his side.

Three days later, they didn’t receive a single application for Boo Boo. “It truly felt like a sign — it felt like we were supposed to keep Boo Boo right here, with his brother.”

The two best friends were officially adopted together. They snuggled with each other in their new feline sister’s (Clara’s) bed, purring up a storm.

“They may not be biological brothers, but they are definitely brothers and best friends for life. Boo Boo was a hissy little boy when he came to us! It took several weeks for him (with lots of encouragement from Moo Moo) to finally accept our love!”

“Today, Boo Boo is the more outgoing of the two! He always wants to be involved in what you’re doing,” Alyssa told Love Meow.

“Moo Moo is the best biscuit maker in town. He literally cries on the bed for you to lay down with his special blanket, so he can make biscuits. He is so vocal about anything and everything.”

“With adoption you may not get to know where they came from, or what they’ve been through. But you do get to guarantee that the rest of their days are filled with love, comfort, and a whole lot of snacks!”
