A big Hearty Welcome to Pet Talk.

Your Rupert looks like a real cutie patootie.

I am 100% behind everyone when they say to adopt from a shelter and i'm so glad that you decided to pick an older cat.
My Katie was adopted from our SPCA from a rescue organization, as she only had 1 more day left before she was to be PTS.
Katie was only 11 months old at the time. She was at the rescue place only 3 days when I came along and adopted her. She will be 14 years old in October and she has been such a joy since.
She is my little lovebug.

I hope when the day comes when you decide to adopt a companion for your Rupert, that you will share your happy day with us.
