Shakespeare, a seven pound, black domestic short hair was already six years old when he was adopted into his forever home. He had been homeless and taken in by a family in Buffalo, New York. Shakespeare liked to spread his charm around, however, and he made himself at home wherever he went. He often looked in on other families on the block and checked back in with his former companions from time to time too. He was friends with some of the wildlife in the neighborhood, including a white tailed deer and a den of foxes.
