Bruno the 'too affectionate' cat is doing great in his new New Jersey home. See how he's doing

Bruno's new owners didn't know they were getting a famous cat when they thought about applying for adoption.

But they soon found out everyone was talking about Bruno.

The cat first gained attention when he was returned to the Montville Animal Shelter in New Jersey for being "too affectionate." The shelter's Facebook post sharing Bruno's story went viral, garnering hundreds of thousands of views, which turned into dozens of applications for the adorable feline.

Catherine and Andrew, a couple in Denville, New Jersey, who declined to give their last names, sent in their application at just the right time. The night before the Facebook post went out, they were on the Montville shelter's Petfinder page. They saw Bruno and thought he was really cute. They didn't apply right away and instead opted to wait a day. The next day, Catherine saw the now-famous post and sent it to Andrew, and they decided they had to get him.

"It was before the post blew up," Andrew said. "A few hours later (Catherine) sends me a screenshot of the post with like a thousand shares, freaking out like 'What if we don't get him? What if he got too famous?'"

"It was perfect timing," Catherine said. "We couldn't have planned it if we tried."

Lost dog tale:Bailey the dog was lost in El Paso. Then she found her old shelter and rang the bell.

Here's why everyone was talking about Bruno the cat

Andrew didn't realize how widespread Bruno's story had become. When he returned to work after the adoption, he told his colleagues he got a cat. When he told them the cat's name, they responded by sending him posts about Bruno and asked if it was the same cat.

"And in our friend group we sent a photo and introduced Bruno, and no more than a few minutes later, our friend sends us a screenshot from Reddit, like, 'This Bruno?'" Andrew said. "Yeah, that's him."

Bruno has settled in well after initially feeling a little nervous in his new surroundings. Slowly, Bruno has been revealing more of his personality every day.

Bruno first arrived at the Montville Animal Shelter in November, after the child of his original owners became allergic to him. Two months later he was adopted by a single mother and young daughter seeking a first pet. But when they brought him home, the shelter's Lindsay Persico said, he was just a little too close for comfort.

Persico explained that the mother worked from home and the cat would constantly head-butt her, making it difficult to get work done. The cat also insisted on sleeping in the daughter's bed, which resulted in the latter staying up late to play with the former. So a week later, Bruno was brought back to the shelter.

"He's very outgoing when you first meet him," Catherine said. "When we first picked him up he basically crawled into my neck. ... I think he was very excited to leave the shelter and be held again."

In his first night in Catherine and Andrew's home, they got a taste of Bruno's affection. He woke them up with head-butts.

"It was adorable," Andrew said.

To help Bruno get settled in, Catherine, who works as a land steward, has been working from home. She has since started to go back to work as he has gotten more comfortable.

The overwhelming response to Bruno's story helped get nearly all of the remaining cats at the Montville shelter adopted.

"The story really got to people," Catherine said.

It’s all about the team before the individual dream.

The 2022-23 team wrestling season will go down as one of the most exciting in state history.

Nationally-ranked Delbarton went toe-to-toe with some of the country’s finest. The Green Wave travelled to four different states early in the season and set the tone as one of the top programs in the nation.

Mount Olive and Hanover Park also wrestled amped-up schedules against the state’s best, while High Point was the only Morris/Sussex team to claim a state championship trophy.

Before we shift attention to the individual portion of the season, let’s take a look at the final Morris/Sussex Top 10 rankings for the 2022-23 season.

10. Morris Knolls (11-9)

Previous ranking: unranked

The Golden Eagles return to the rankings following a strong finish. The Denville school won nine of its final 11 matches and reached the NJSIAA North 1, Group 4 final, falling to Mount Olive in the title match.

9. Kittatinny (12-6)

Previous ranking: 9

The Cougars were one of the hottest teams in Morris and Sussex counties in the second half of the season, winning eight straight en route to a second straight NJSIAA North 1, Group 1 title.

8. Morris Hills (13-12)

Previous ranking: 8

The Scarlet Knights posted their fifth straight winning season while competing against some of the best teams in the state. Morris Hills qualified for the North 2, Group 3 postseason, falling to West Essex, 44-24 in the opening round.

7. Jefferson (17-8)

Previous ranking: 7

The Falcons reached a second straight sectional final, falling to eventual state champion High Point in North 1, Group 2. Jefferson has won at least 17 dual matches for six straight seasons.

6. Pope John (8-8)

Previous ranking: 6

The Lions had big shoes to fill in 2022-23 after winning the Non-Public B title the previous year. The Sparta parochial school managed to finish .500 against a rugged schedule that included state-ranked Delbarton, Seton Hall, Paramus Catholic and Bergen Catholic, to name a few.

5. West Morris (15-6)

Previous ranking: 4

The Wolfpack won 15 matches for the first time in four years. They won six of their first seven matches, including wins over No. 3 High Point, No. 9 Kittatinny and No. 10 Morris Knolls. Two of their six losses came to North 2, Group 3 runner-up Cranford and a five-point setback to eventual Group 1 champion Delaware Valley.

4. Hanover Park (15-6)

Previous ranking: 3

Hanover Park wrestled a competitive statewide schedule all season and improved as the season went on. The Hornets claimed the NJAC Liberty title and the North 2, Group 1 crown, defeating Hasbrouck Heights, 62-9 in the title match.

3. High Point (12-9)

Previous ranking: 5

The Wildcats finished the season a different team from where they started. After a slow start, the Wantage Township school turned it up in the second half of the campaign when it mattered the most. High Point captured the NJAC Freedom title, the North 1, Group 2 sectional and its seventh NJSIAA team championship, 36-34 over Governor Livingston.

2. Mount Olive (11-5)

Previous ranking: 2

The Marauders put together another winning campaign, claiming a third straight state sectional title. Mount Olive came within one match of returning to the Group 4 championship, falling to Jackson Memorial, 42-22 in the semifinals.

1. Delbarton (16-4)

Previous ranking: 1

Delbarton was hands down the best team in Morris County, and in all of New Jersey leading up to the final weekend. The Green Wave came within four points of winning a second NJSIAA team title before falling to St. Joseph, 28-24, in the Non-Public A final.

Delbarton took its show on the road, competing on a national stage against some of the best teams in the country. Along the way, they captured a 14th straight Morris County Tournament championship and won the prestigious Beast of the East team title. The Green Wave also took Blair Academy, the nation’s top-ranked team, down to the final match in front of a packed home gym.

The Morris Catholic-Desert Vista matchup features a handful of underclass players who have shined all season on the big stage.

Morris Catholic trots out sophomore guards Mia and Mya Pauldo along with fellow sophomore Daniella Matus and junior Alexis Rosenfeld. Mia Pauldo led the Lancers in scoring with 18.9 points per night as they won the Non-Public B title.

Desert Vista, which won the inaugural Arizona Open Division crown, is led by freshman Jerzy Robinson. She averaged 22.0 points and 8.2 rebounds and is a leading candidate for MaxPreps Freshman of the Year for the 28-3 Thunder.

Centennial lost to Lone Peak in its opening game of the season and ran the table on the way to an eighth consecutive Nevada title. The 30-1 Bulldogs are paced by MaxPreps Player of the Year Kaniya Boyd, who averaged 12.2 points, 4.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 3.4 steals per game from her point guard position, helping Centennial close the season on a 30-game win streak.

Sidwell might be without MaxPreps District of Columbia Player of the Year Jadyn Donovan, who was selected to the Nike Hoops Summit squad which plays the same weekend. She averaged 14.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.2 assist and 2.0 steals. But the Quakers have a host of talent, including Leah Harmon, freshman Jayla Jackson and Kendall Dudley.

MaxPreps Utah Player of the Year Kailey Woolston powers Lone Peak into the SCI. The BYU commit averaged 20.7 points, 81 rebounds and 2.1 assist per game as the 23-3 Knights played a strong national schedule while powering through all Utah opponents.

Wrecking ball looms for historic St. Francis senior facility in Denville

The new owners of the former St. Francis Residential Community plan to demolish the aging, historic buildings to clear the way for a new 110-bed senior health facility on the 17-acre property near St. Clare's Hospital and the Oaks at Denville senior complex.

The announcement Wednesday from Wall Township-based Springpoint, the operator of 10 senior living communities, including the neighboring Oaks at Denville, said the nonprofit is also considering “other options” for the pastoral property at the corner of Pocono and Diamond Spring roads near St. Clare’s Hospital.

"It goes without saying the mayor and township officials feel a deep sense of loss and sorrow about the impending demolition," reads a statement from Denville Administrator Steven Ward. "By the time the township was made aware of the prospective real estate transfer, it was too late to intervene to preserve the facility, despite our tireless efforts to do so over a period of months in 2021."

The Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother, who opened St. Francis as a health resort 127 years ago, contracted Springpoint for logistical and administrative support last year after announcing in June that it would close the facility sometime in 2022. At the time, St. Francis operated 58 rooms and 65 independent-living apartments for seniors. Residents had the option of extra services such as meals, housekeeping and medication assistance.

The sisters later announced they would transfer ownership of the property and historic campus buildings to Springpoint.

"As the buildings and campus infrastructure have aged, it has become increasingly difficult to fund the maintenance and needed renovations to sustain the financial viability of the community," the sisters wrote in a statement announcing the closure.

"The planned 110-bed health care center will support the care needs of residents of The Oaks as well as seniors from the surrounding community and region," Springpoint vice president of marketing and communications Julia Zauner said.

This community facility will specifically offer assisted living, memory care and other long-term care services for seniors, Zauner said.

Springpoint has retained KDA Architects "to guide the vision planning process." Zauner said the company has yet to determine the position of the new facility on the campus at the corner of Pocono and Diamond Spring roads.

Zauner said the company has no current plans to sell the excess property to developers. "Our plan is to continue to use the land consistent with its current zoning," Zauner said.

The St. Francis property, along with the Oaks at Denville and St. Clare's Hospital, are in an OB-3 zone that permits office buildings, hospitals, nursing homes, senior citizen facilities and related support services. Retail sales are prohibited except for pharmacies and related medical services within the facility.

Ward confirmed Springpoint is expected to apply soon for demolition permits. Removal of the buildings and clearing of the site is expected to begin in the fall. Groundbreaking on the new building is anticipated for "some time in 2024."

"As the facility is privately owned and was never listed on any state or federal historic registers, the township cannot legally prevent the demolition of Saint Francis structures," the township statement reads.

Denville Mayor Tom Andes described St. Francis and its amenities as "an ocean cruise ship that doesn't go anywhere."

His mother was among the residents who transferred next door to The Oaks.

"It's such a shame," Andes said. "It's a beautiful place. I wish they had said something sooner. Maybe we could have done something. It's a terrible loss. It's part of the community."

Historic items in the building were donated to the Denville Historical society. Pews from the chapel were donated to the Archdiocese of Newark.

The shuttered facility was used in April as the set for the filming of a horror movie, "The Home," starring Pete Davidson.

Springpoint serves more than 4,000 seniors in New Jersey and Delaware and has nearly 2,000 employees.

Denville well malfunctions, prompting water emergency. What you need to know

A malfunctioning well has forced Denville to declare a water emergency and restrict car washing, lawn watering and other residential uses, though an official on Tuesday said the township was making progress toward a fix.

A malfunctioning well has forced Denville to declare a water emergency and restrict car washing, lawn watering and other residential uses, though an official on Tuesday said the township was making progress toward a fix. The town had already imposed limits this month ahead of a scheduled refurbishment of a water tower. That and the borderline drought conditions around the region left the water supply in a precarious position, Denville said in an advisory sent to residents on Sunday.

"The combination of ongoing maintenance of the township's main water tank, the recent unusually dry conditions, and now the malfunctioning well, is causing a very low water supply to the township," the advisory read. "As a result, all outdoor water use (lawn watering, car washing, etc.) is strictly prohibited until further notice."

Tuesday, Denville Recreation Director Nick Panetta said what he believed to be a mechanical issue at the well was resolved by DPW workers who deployed on Sunday.

"Things are looking positive and we're looking for ways we can lift some of the restrictions, but as of now we have to stay at the full restriction," Panetta said.

The limits do not apply to residents with private wells who do not use municipal water, Panetta said.

Residents and businesses in Denville were already under a 90-day period of restricted water use as the township began scheduled refurbishing of its primary water tank. Contractors took the 1.25-million-gallon tank offline on August 1 and expect the work will take 60 to 90 days to complete.

Under those restrictions, residents with even house numbers were permitted outside water use on even-numbered days, and residents with odd-numbered homes on odd-number days. The limits covered the watering of "lawns, shrubs, ornamental plants, etc., as well as the washing of automobiles, trucks, ATVs, boats, etc."

Southern portions of Morris County and most of Central Jersey were added last week to the area of "moderate drought" conditions in New Jersey by the U.S. Drought Monitor. The rest of Morris County and most of northern New Jersey were listed as "abnormally dry." The drought classifications will be revised on Thursday.

State Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn LaTourette issued a statewide drought watch last week, the first step toward declaring a full drought. He called for residents and businesses to conserve water, but if conditions do not improve, mandatory water use restrictions may be necessary in parts of the state, LaTourette said in a briefing with reporters.

"When we look out at temperature outlook and precipitation outlook, we continue to be concerned," he said.
