There is also Gracie, a canine sibling, a doggo who loves to lie on the couch due to her elderly age.
Fishtopher was a happy and playful cat, thanks to his loving family.
Laura shared their joy on Twitter saying that she didn’t feel the attention on Fishtopher would continue after adoption. But, it was just the beginning as a lot of people wanted to know more about the cat with several requests for photos and updates coming to them.
So they started an Instagram for Fishtopher, where they posted his happy moments. They also used this platform to raise awareness about cat adoption in the USA.
Considering the rate of followers’ growth and love on their Twitter page, the couple decided to also channel it toward a more demanding cause. They also post updates on finding homes for other kitties like Fishtopher.
It’s wonderful to see how Fishtopher’s life changed for the better. And it’s admirable how his owners use their platform to help other cats in need. They’re making a big difference.
