Joy’s origin isn’t fully known, and it is assumed that he was either orphaned, or someone had abandoned him in his first day of life.  Either way, it was an uphill battle for him from the get-go.

For the first few weeks he was at the shelter he was brought to, he did A LOT of eating and sleeping. Naturally, he was as adorable as it gets through every second of it!

As time went on, he got bigger and stronger.  At seven weeks, the fluffy little itsy-bits was simply irresistible.  Soon, he would be ready to start the search for a forever home with a good family.
