Moby
My husband and I had been talking about getting a kitten for a while but had to wait until we moved into our new home. I had managed to convince him to begin the process of adopting a kitten shortly after our wedding in January. I made an appointment at SPCA as it was important to us to adopt from a rescue. Mo (as was his name at the time) was one of our immediate favourites. My husband held him and he started to cuddle quickly - setting my husband at ease and they quickly bonded. He was our missing piece.
We got him home and he immediately started making the house his own. He is a playful, cheeky boy who loves cuddles. He enjoys playing car racing games and making music with his dad, doing chores with mum and sleeping in awkward places.
Moby is an absolute joy and has made us a family. We love him so much and will continue to treasure our memories with him long into the future.
