After months of recovery, a registered veterinary technician adopted Joffrey.
According to the humane society, this vet tech was one of the first to treat Joffrey after police brought him into an emergency facility.
“Moved by his resilience and eager to give him the love he deserved, she filled out an adoption application. She understands the challenges he faces ahead of him, but is determined to provide him with the ongoing care and affection he needs to thrive,” the humane society said.

Joffrey’s ears were severely damaged by the fire and had to be removed in September. The humane society said his hearing was not affected.
“As Joffrey embarks on this new chapter of his life with his new family, we are filled with excitement for all the wonderful moments ahead. Thank you, Joffrey, for touching our hearts and showing us all the true meaning of bravery and love,” the humane society said.
