And They Both Purred Happily Ever After

Bruno and Solomon, Finally In A Forever Home

 

They are the first same-gender cats to officially marry.We told you about them last year, when their wedding prompted headlines everywhere. Two sweet adult male cats, devoted to each other, and in need of a permanent home. Their shelter, Ollie's Place, in New York, wanted the boys adopted together, as splitting them up would break their hearts and spirits. But many adopters who would have chosen ONE of them were not up for taking BOTH. And so, they waited.

Until now. Just this week, a kindly woman opened her home and her heart to the boys, welcoming Bruno and Solomon to their real forever home. Everyone who's heard of this development suddenly feels the need to blink back tears of joy.

Two big beautiful boy cats, ready to give a lifetime's worth of affection, at last secure in the knowledge that they're beloved. For Solomon and Bruno, it's proof that happy endings are not an endangered species. And in shelters and rescue groups, every waiting cat and kitten takes new hope from their story, knowing that their wait can be rewarded in the most wonderful way. May Bruno and Solomon enjoy a long and happy life together, bound by love and human generosity.

How heartwarming. Bless the "kindly lady," for opening her home and her heart to "the boys." We know her life will be greatly enriched by the love, affection, and devotion of these two magnificant cats.

My cat is attacking her tail and I don't know what to do. I changed her diet to a more nutritional type, I think it's called Blue. Any suggestions?

i am desperately in need of help with one of my male cats. I have tried EVERYTHING and my vet says i have 2 options left - find a new home for him (he's feral and that wouldnt work as he is only used to us) or put him to sleep (cant!). I have 3 other cats and this one male is FREAKED out by the other male (both fixed) and i think he sprays because of it - he only sprays at night (we NEVER see him do it during the day). We've tried putting an extra litter box by the area where he sprays, added Feliway to that room (and other rooms too!!!) and have even tried a "calming colar". (and marking removal sprays, etc) He is ruining carpets, baseboards, wood flooring, drapery panels, etc..... we are at our wits end - what else can i do??? Its causing problems at home because my husband is so mad about it all the time - any suggestions that i have NOT already tried?

I was watching an episode of Must Love Cats this evening and was disgusted that you so irresponsibly showed those cats being painted and shaved, in other words tortured. Do you know how many kids are going to do this with your blessing and harm innocent pets! This is just wrong!

On an episode (rerun I believe) today you mentioned a cat food that smells so good, no cat can resist it. Please tell me the name, my boys (12 yrs old) are getting heavy on Blue and one of them is not thrilled with it.

Ay, que linda historia. Lo cierto es que a mi me gustó porque es bueno que dos gatitos puedan "ronrronear" (como dice el título "y Ronrronearon felices para siempre") para siempre con una familia que los quiera. Como quisiera tener dos gatos así...
