Bruno, a shelter cat in New Jersey, was returned to the shelter after only a week for being ‘too affectionate.’ Some cats like more contact than others, and Bruno has an affectionate nature than was unsuited to the family that first adopted him.

Liam Quinn reports A cat named Bruno was returned to a shelter for being ‘too affectionate.’ Now, he has a new home:

A cat that was returned to a New Jersey shelter for being “too affectionate” has found a new home – and has helped other cats at the shelter get adopted too.

Bruno the cat first arrived at the Montville Animal Shelter in November, after the child of his previous owners became allergic to him. Two months later, he was adopted by a single mother and young daughter seeking a first pet. But when they brought him home, the shelter’s Lindsay Persico said, he was just a little too close for comfort.

….

Persico said that when Bruno returned, he was depressed. So Persico took to Facebook and posted Bruno’s story. The post blew up, with over 200,000 views and hundreds of comments. And the adoption applications started pouring in.

….

In fact, an update to the Facebook post said they had to pause applications. People from all over the country called the shelter to inquire.

Bruno was adopted and is now in a new home. But the overwhelming response has helped the shelter’s other cats too.

Best wishes to Bruno in his new home.
