Bookroo's summary

Josh sees Buster, a quirky orange cat, with Mr. Larsen every morning. When Mr. Larsen is hospitalized and Buster disappears, Josh and his family search for him. If found, Buster faces a new home through the animal shelter. As they search, Josh's family discovers that sometimes, life chooses the perfect pet for you. Will they find Buster, and what will they learn about family and belonging along the way?

But if Buster turns up, Rainbow Street Animal Shelter will have to help him find another home.That’s when Josh and his family realize that–sometimes–life can choose a pet for you.
