Notes from the foster: Bruiser is the first to rise and last to sleep. He likes to plow through his siblings to get to food, humans, toys, whatever life has to offer he wants to be front and center. Alone he is a little more timid, but he grows confident quickly. Bruiser also loves cuddles with humans and will actively seek you out to climb in your lap for a snuggle.
