Need a heartwarming story to start your day? Here is an adoption update that you will love!

"We chose to adopt from Metro Animal Shelter because we truly believe in giving animals a second chance at a loving home. After losing our beloved kitty to kidney disease at 13.5 years old, I was completely heartbroken and didn’t know when I’d be ready again.

One day, my mom suggested we go look at cats, and I immediately said, “Let’s go to Metro!” I had been checking their website constantly and kept coming back to these two beautiful, fluffy, blue-eyed kittens with Mariners-themed names. I was already a little in love, but I told myself I was just going along so my mom could find a cat.

When we finally made it in, Scratchiro Suzuki and Edgar Meowtinez were still there. I figured, why not, and filled out an application too. While my mom held different cats, I asked to hold the fluffy brothers—and that was it for me. The moment I picked them up, they both started purring, snuggled right into me, and even burrowed into my neck. I was completely sold. When I handed one of them back, it hit me—I couldn’t separate them. They had never known life without each other, and I couldn’t be the reason they did. Plus, I couldn’t even choose between them! So I adopted both.

It made for a pretty funny conversation with my husband when I told him we were bringing home two kittens. He definitely asked me to repeat myself—but I told him they were a bonded pair, and he’d understand soon enough.

Now known as Sammy Sosa and Leonardo DeCatrio, they have been the most incredible additions to our family. I’ve never had cats like them—they are endlessly affectionate, constantly purring, and absolutely obsessed with our three big dogs. I truly can’t imagine life without these two boys.

What makes Metro Animal Shelter so special is the love and care they give every animal. It’s clear that every animal there is treated with compassion and dedication. Adopting Sammy and Leo was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I’m so grateful to Metro for bringing them into my life. - Rebekah"
