Beast and Bernie were two kittens that had been adopted from ARWOB in October 2009 and then relinquished back to us seven years later in November 2016 when they were seniors! They were fostered together by a lovely volunteer, who absolutely fell in love with them and decided to adopt them as a pair in February 2017. Bernie has since crossed the Rainbow Bridge, but Beast is still going strong. His adoptive mom recalls the first time she met the brothers: “I remember the first time I met them at the PetSmart in Oceanside. Beast was hiding in a cubby box in the corner of the kennel and Bernie immediately jumped onto the mini cat tree next to the kennel when I opened the kennel door. They looked so sad and confused being there that I immediately decided to foster these big floofy boys. I think it was a month later that I foster failed.”
