They have even attached these adorable photos of Bruno:

The multi-toed, 25-pound cat with a kooky habit of standing on his hind legs, went viral
And because Bruno is A.) adorably weird, B.) has a cool party trick and C.) is majorly photogenic, tons of people applied to be his personal butler, er, owner. So, the shelter had to be picky. Few days later, they posted an update on his status - ""Our thicc boi Bruno is now reviewing applications for the *PERFECT* home".

And boy, did they find the right person for this fur penguin.
Lauren Paris, a Chicago-based singer and actress, not only sent Wright-Way Rescue letters of recommendations and a video tour of her home, but she also wrote and performed an original song about Bruno.

In a video posted to Facebook on Monday, the shelter also seemed super excited to relay the good news to Paris:

Paris, however, seems psyched. She’s already set up @theebrunobartlett, an Instagram account for the quirky cat.
Its first post shows Paris bonding with her big boy.
