Meet the boss

Bruce. The original.

Found behind a Bronx bodega in 2021, Bruce went from cornercat to quality control. Every collar, treat, and toy in our shop crosseshis paws before it crosses your doorstep.


He's the reason we exist - and the reason why profits go back to shelters like the one that almost missed him.
