“Sad news Bruno came back after only a week!” wrote the shelter on its Facebook page.
“The family never had a cat before and said he was too affectionate, always wanted to sit on their laps, follow them around, and head butt them for kisses and pets. He was also too playful and got zoomies in the evening! So if anyone is looking for a Velcro cat, he’s your guy.”
The good news is that Bruno was adopted again.

Lindsay Persico from the shelter told USA Today she noticed Bruno was down in the dumps once he was returned so she wrote about him on Facebook. The post was shared more than 1,400 times and got over 500 comments.
She said that was followed by about 50 applications to adopt Bruno, including the new owner who knows to expect an extraordinarily affectionate cat while the other felines at the shelter benefited, too.
“People were coming to our door to meet Bruno, and we got almost all the cats in the store adopted in the meantime,” Persico told USA Today.
