This is a classic. What I mean is that some kind people can't turn away from the obligation to adopt two cats at a shelter if those cats are bonded. It is a product of kindness and decency. Marissa Monteleone (@mydogsdope), 30, must be both kind and decent and an animal lover. And sometimes it is necessary to adopt two bonder pets together.
She visited the shelter with her husband with the intention of adding a cat to her family. They spotted a cat that they had fallen in love with online but when they arrived they found out that this particular cat had a brother who wasn't listed on the website. She explains:
"The shelter told us they weren't bonded and that they would be fine if we separated them. My husband and I immediately looked at each other and knew we would be leaving with both. We have two dogs already, Pluto and Astra. So, we brought the cats home and named them Rover and Cosmo to stick with our space theme."
The video shows them snuggled up together. Viewers understand why they've been kept together. They have adapted to their new home and adjusted to the new environment and met their canine siblings.
For a while, Marissa kept them separated from the dogs so they could become comfortable in the new home. As it happens, they never left each other's side. Rover is curious and loves to play while Cosmo is very sweet and a bit shy compared to his brother. They are, it is said, opposite but they complement each other.
The story is about going into a shelter to adopt one cat and coming out with two because you want to keep the cats together. This is a great act of kindness in my view and I think necessary if cats are very close which these two are. Of course you take a double the commitment which includes near double the expenses over the rest of the cats' lives.
The story comes from Newsweek. Thank you.
