Woman Adopts A Bullied Senior Cat From The Shelter But It Doesn’t Go As She Expected

When most people look for a new pet, senior animals aren’t usually their first choice because of their age and health. However, one woman decided to give a senior cat a chance, and what happened next was far from what she imagined.

The younger cats would gang up on him, and she even witnessed one smack him during her visit. The cat didn’t fight back, and that’s when she knew he needed a new home.

She thought it would take some time for him to adjust to his new surroundings like most adopted pets do. But to her surprise, they connected instantly, and he refused to leave her side.

Screenshots from her video show the senior cat constantly snuggling with his new owner. She has to hold him in a blanket all the time because he hates being put down. Whenever she tries to set him down, he protests, wanting to stay in her arms.

This isn’t the usual behavior for most cats, so she had to adjust her plans and carry him like a baby, wrapped in a blanket to keep him happy. As she wrote:

“I didn’t realize taking a chance on the elderly cat that was getting bullied at the shelter meant I was going to have to blanket-wear him every day because he hates being put down.”

The love and comfort he feels in her arms are evident. His paws hug her tightly as if he knows he’s finally safe and sound. It’s his way of saying “thank you” for rescuing him. Her caption reads:

“Take a chance on an elderly cat!! He’s worth it, my little cutie coyote baby.”

“Older babies have so much love in them once they realize they are safe.” one TikTok user commented. Another added, “Oh my God, he knows he found his last home.” A third person said, “He feels safe enough to let his inner baby out.”
