At the time, she wrote on Instagram: "He's 11 years old, so was turned down a lot when people would meet him at the shelter because he was 'too old' (rude, he's in his prime) but when I met him I had to take him home. He is SO PERFECT and is just and endless ball of kissies and cuddles. Luv u Marco #adoptdontshop."
