SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Moose
Hi Neighbourly folk, this lovely story about a cat named Moose reminds us important pets are in lockdown. Moose is a SPCA rescue cat.
Ho is your pet coping in lockdown and feel free to post a picture.
“I wanted to give an update on how “Clarence”—now named Moose— is settling in. He’s such a relaxed cat! He’s become very attached to our 14m old lab/collie mix and they play together really well! We had hoped they would get along, as he had been fostered with a dog, but it’s been great to see them bond so quickly. Moose has also bonded strongly with my partner and I, falling asleep on us while we work and my partner even moves his little bed onto his desk while he’s in meetings working from home. Hope you guys enjoy some photos.”
