Bruce was abandoned at the age of eight months due to a rare disability, but his amazing adventure started when he warmed up to his loving foster mother.

She brought the lovely cat home, and it was immediately apparent that Carl was a gorgeous meowdel.

Here are some of the first photos of him that were posted on Facebook; notice how his golden eyes stand out against the contrasted fur.

Alyssa Keeling, Carl’s new foster mother, initially thought about finding him a new home after having his “party peanuts”

removed and receiving veterinary attention. But he appears to have had different ideas, as if this house was always supposed to be his.
