Meet Bandya!

This week’s Pet of the Week is Bandya!

This gorgeous kitty loves following his human’s mom around, sleeping in air-conditioning, and climbing anywhere and everywhere in the house. Bandya tries very hard to be a good boy, and we are certain he is the best boy ever!

In the left image, Bandya walks towards a candle flame in the foreground, the flame illuminates his face as he stares it down.

Meet Rupert

This week’s Pet of the Week is Rupert!

This 3-year-old has a personality as loud as he is! He’s the baby of the house and is best friends with his big brother, Peanut. But he’s been duking it out for “head of the house” with his big sister, Bella, for 3 years.

His likes include screaming, being sassy, aggressive nuzzling, and being adorable. His dislikes include being told no, lawnmowers, and his human leaving. He also has his human, Melissa, trained pretty well. Every morning he jumps on her shoulders to be carried to the kitchen for breakfast. The Help Desk loves Rupert and has decided to deem him “head of the Help Desk.”
