Bamboo!
Our little prince was born in rescue. PawPurrs Halfway House rescued his pregnant mother Lexi (one of our other adopted cats) and she ended up giving birth in the bathroom as there were no pens available.
We fostered Bamboo and his two siblings (now in a loving home together) from 5 weeks old. After just a few days Bamboo chose hooman Laura as his forever person and a close bond formed between them. Of course, this meant that we HAD to adopt him and after falling completely in love with Lexi we decided to adopt her as well.
Bamboo is now 17 months old and loving life. Thankfully he's never known any pain or suffering from being neglected, abused or living on the streets like our other cats.
He's super cuddly with Laura and you can usually find him following her around the house if he isn't eating, playing or chilling outside in the catio.
Although he can be a bit skittish and giddy, Bamboo showed a lot of intelligence from the beginning. He quickly worked out toys, even managing to pull balls out of tracks after realising he could use both paws to grab and yank!
He loves most toys but his favourites are lasers, anything you can trail around the house and coils/springs, the latter of which he loves to catch mid air.
He gets on with all the cats as he's grown up around them. One of his favourite play buddies is Rufio, who is our eldest cat. It's lovely to see the oldest and youngest playing together! He also loves to play with Duchess. The pair chase each other around until Duchess decides she's had enough and gives him a little hiss.
Have a look through the photos of Bamboo and see if you can work out which one is him in the last one!
