Bruce finally had his dream come true. Within a minute, he lied down on the floor at his new abode and started purring, stretching his paws as if he knew he was home.

"He didn't stop purring all night. Since that day, he's been following me around no matter where I go," Sandra told Love Meow.

It took a few days for Bruce to get used to all the new things around him and to realize he no longer had to fight for food and fend for himself. Now, he has a human to love and protect, and the tabby boy is the happiest he's ever been.

"He came into the bathroom when I was showering one day, and looked at me and started meowing as if he was trying to call for help to rescue me from the water," Sandra said.
