Herky was not renamed but rather given his original name back upon adoption. He seemed to appreciate that. Having been surrendered twice (once for not getting along with other cats, and a second time for not being “cuddly enough”), I’m happy to share that he has gotten three years of love from three college girls, lived the dorm and apartment life, and moved to two other homes- and happily. Every day is full of cuddles and kisses, from me to him and him to me (he loves his mom), AND he has a best friend, also adopted from HSHV, named Whopper. They are two peas in a pod. They also coexist with Wellington, our beloved albeit chaotic doggy who happened into our lives during our visit and adoption of Herky.
Wyborne now Hercules
