Slim Chances
They took the kitten to the vet, who gave them an extensive and expensive list of things the couple needed to buy to keep the Lil guy safe. Even with all the right routines and equipment, the vet told the couple to be realistic and not get too attached.
The likelihood of the kitten making it was slim but in just a day, the couple had fallen in love with the Lil furball and they weren’t going to back down. They bought everything they needed and decided to adopt it, officially.
The Name
Kathryn named the kitten Bruce. After Bruce Wayne, the orphaned superhero better known as Batman! The name was inspired by the kitten’s light grey fur, the classic colours for the D.C superhero.
And with the name, also came the cat’s social media account. Kathryn wanted to let her family and friends follow the journey of this stray cat. So, she created a Facebook page for Bruce called, Bruce the cat. During the interview, she said, “I was working for Auckland Council at the time… They were interested, so I started a Facebook page to keep everyone updated.”
