ASPCA Happy Tail

Aro and Reno

Aro and Reno

After a friend recommended that Ron Schwinn consider adopting Aro and Reno, two kitties at the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City, he thought the pair might just be the cats for him. Having lost his beloved cat 18 months earlier, Schwinn said the house felt empty without cats around. He visited the Adoption Center in August to meet Aro and Reno, which sealed the deal. He brought them home and their friendship flourished immediately.

“To say that The Guys have settled in would be an understatement,” Schwinn says. “When I got them home, they jumped out of their boxes and simply took over the place.”

Schwinn says Aro, who is a bit impish, is “the investigator,” and Reno “has his moments.” This inquisitive feline pair wasted no time helping themselves to some kibble they discovered in the kitchen cabinet.

Both kitties are very affectionate, and Reno especially enjoys curling up in Schwinn’s lap while he’s using the computer. The pair also loves to explore the bathtub and kitchen sink—perfect places for a nap!

“They are a delight, and they've trained me very quickly,” Schwinn says. No doubt this happy trio will look after each other for many years to come.
