Pete the kitty and his litter mates were found in a local park by a child from the neighborhood according to H. Sohei. They were taken to a local rescue group where Pete's two brothers went to a foster home, and Pete and another littermate went to another.

"At the time I was signing up to become a foster parent, and that’s how I met Pete. He was very tiny and was only one month old,” said H. Sohei.

Now fast forward to today, Pete is almost 10 years old and has grown into a handsome fella. He never left his foster home because they couldn't part with him and adopted him into their family.
