This is Mr. Bruce Willis. Not the tough guy from the movies, though this one is also a fighter. His story begins with the label of “the saddest cat”, as in his eyes you could see the difficulties of his years living on the street. It took him a long time to find an owner who loved him, and she too had to overcome obstacles to get him home.
Bruce was 6 years old and had quite a few health problems: scars, a wounded eye, broken teeth, the feline immunodeficiency virus, and a few infections he picked up at the shelter. Despite his looks and misfortune, he was “the sweetest and most loving”, but he couldn’t find a family. On International Cat Day, Sandra saw a publication by the Minnesota Animal Protection Society featuring Bruce, and it broke her heart. Sandra had no intention of having pets, since they didn’t allow animals on the apartment where she lived, but she couldn’t leave him and visited him constantly at the shelter, hoping that he would find a human. After a month, she managed to convince her landlord that Bruce needed a home.
After a year with Sandra, the orange cat is unrecognizable. He has gone from being the saddest cat to the happiest, and now he thrills his fans on Instagram.
