Knowing that he has to be an only cat would prevent you from being tempted to get more than him. You could both be each other's world. At least foster him. You'll know if you bond or not. What's the worst that could happen? You aren't a match? The best? You both rescue each other.


ETA: I love that his name is Puppy. My niece wanted a puppy. My brother came home with a baby kitten he'd rescued from the side of the road just before a mower was coming. He was a MESS! They named him Linus. My brother named him Puppy because he told my niece that was her puppy that she wanted. I always called him Linus Puppy.
