When Bambam came into Ten Lives care with his four siblings, Barney, Wilma, Pebbles, and Dennis, he had everything going for him: a playful spirit, a deep love of cuddles, and a heart melting purr that could brighten any room.
Bambam and his family entered foster care on 29 November 2024 to grow and gain confidence.
During this time, the kittens required treatment for ringworm. This meant an extended stay with one of our specially trained foster carers until they were all in the clear.
They were then ready to move on to the next stage of their journey in late March 2025, when they became available for adoption.
Once Bambam and his siblings moved into the adoption rooms and were ready to find their forever homes, he quickly showed everyone what a sweetheart he was. He settled in easily, loving laps and winning hearts with his gentle nature.
Staff and volunteers described him as a real entertainer, always keeping everyone smiling with his antics. He soon became a favourite of photographers for his amazing poses, and his cheeky expressions were popular with our social media followers.
As each sibling found their home, Bambam waited with quiet determination for his turn.
Then, on 9 May 2025, after spending more than six months in our care, including six weeks in the adoption rooms waiting to meet his person, Bambam met his perfect human and headed off to his forever home, where he now enjoys exactly what he had always wanted: a lap to call his own.
Every adoption journey is unique, and sometimes it just takes a little longer to find the perfect human. When you visit Ten Lives Cat Centre to adopt, be sure to take the time to meet them all. You might just find your perfect companion waiting quietly for you.
