"Great news!! Pantoufle from our shelter is getting adopted tomorrow!!!"

via u/sonia72quebec

"He wasn't really nice when he came back to the shelter. It was his third time back so he was pissed at the world. He was bitting and scratching everyone. We joke that he tasted all of us. But he got sick and had anemia and I think he missed being pampered. So he has been really more patient and understanding with us. He used to be so mad when we wouldn't feed him first… I really hope he's not going to be back again. That would just break our hearts."
