                                            Lakeland Animal Shelter Amazing Adoption Update
I adopted Babys (now Louis) in January of 2017. I’ve sent an update on him many years ago, but he’s truly my best friend. From college, to moving out of my parents, living all alone during the pandemic, getting married, and moving to 3 different cities— Louis has been my rock through it all. He is the sweetest, cuddliest, friendliest cat and ironically; he loved my husband even more than me once he moved in with us and those two melt my heart daily.
Then, a little over a year ago, my husband and I decided we were ready for another; and I was beyond excited to return to Lakeland to find the perfect addition to our family. Enter Oaklan (now Loaf) and he is the wildest, most curious, and secretly cuddly guy. He integrated into all our lives and we can’t imagine it without him now. Our little yin and yang are the best brothers, playmates, and fur babies. Thank you, Lakeland!
