Staff Adoption Stories 2: Willow & Laze
Written by Alisa, Animal Care Attendant
I started working at the shelter in September, 2017, but my adoption story starts a few months earlier when I adopted Willow (Bronx) from RAPS in May.
Little did I know that my heart would grow twice as big within a few months…
Today Laze is a bright and happy boy, venturing out into the open spaces of house during daylight hours and meowing to demand pets. He has found a few toys that he loves, and has claimed the area under a small table in the living room as his personal “hiding” spot. He forcefully headbutts me when I hold my hand out for him to be scratched, and he is still learning that biting hurts me, even though he doesn’t mean to. He is such a happy cat now, and has had a complete turn around since being at the shelter. I couldn’t be happier with both his progress, and with Willow adapting to living with an older male cat. They are so spoiled and loved, and I am very grateful that they both ended up choosing me.
