Palling Around with Tad and Jack
Nov 09, 2021
Jack Romp originally brought Tad, a 2-year-old orange tabby, home as a foster. Tad had a lot of behavioral challenges to overcome, and we spent months struggling to find the right home for this feisty feline. However, after a few months with Jack, Tad fit in so perfectly, they ended up making it permanent. We’re so happy Tad finally found his perfect person.
How did you end up fostering Tad?
I'd seen Tad on the website and was interested in meeting him because he had a high enrichment score, meaning he has a higher activity level.
What were your first few days with Tad like?
He was immediately very curious about his new home and wandered around exploring the apartment the first few days, but most of all wanted to hang out wherever we were hanging out. He was immediately very sociable and would hang out on the couch with us whenever we were watching TV. He quickly found some of his favorite spots around the house.
How did you make the decision to adopt?
We had such a great time hanging out with him during the fostering period. What really sold us on him was how much he loved to be around everyone. He's always sleeping in one of our beds at night, hanging out in the kitchen while we cook dinner, and following us around the house to get us to play.
What are Tad’s favorite activities?
Tad loves playing fetch. We all work from home, so he'll often carry a ball in his mouth into one of our rooms to let us know it's time to play. He also loves chasing the laser pointer. We live across from a pretty busy park, and he'll spend hours watching people and squirrels out of the window.
What makes Tad unique?
Tad is very smart and good at letting us know how he's feeling and what kind of mood he's in. He's very inquisitive about new smells, people, activities and training.
What do you love most bout Tad?
My favorite thing about Tad is how much he seems to enjoy living here with us. He's become so comfortable around the house, and it makes me very happy to see him fit in so well. He also looks incredibly cute lounging around the house and sleeping on everything.
