About Bruce

Bruce is a friendly black and white domestic shorthair looking for a forever home alongside his brother, Void. At 1 year and 6 months old, Bruce has been a house cat his entire life, so he’s accustomed to indoor living both day and night. However, be cautious: he can be quite swift and may try to sneak out if doors are open, so a two-door setup is recommended for his safety. This playful kitty is gentle and adaptable, making him suitable for families with children over 2 years old. He has even lived harmoniously with a large dog, showcasing his friendly nature. Bruce is also litter trained and possesses moderate energy, making him a laid-back companion that doesn't require prior pet experience. Being bonded with his brother, he must be adopted together with him. Ready to give Bruce and Void a loving home together? They are waiting for you!
