Story
Bruiser is a 3 year old buff colored kitty who came to us as a stray. He`s curious and playful and wants to be friends. But he is timid when we try to pet him and we are taking things slow to let him know that he is safe and loved. He`ll need a patient owner in a quieter home with no small children, but he might do well with a confident kitty buddy with a slow introduction. If you think you have what it takes to help this dear boy be the best that he can be, please stop by the Animal Orphanage soon and ask for Bruiser
