It's always a tragedy when you see a sweet innocent animal slowly losing their spark because they've been waiting so long to leave the shelter. That's why it is so important to foster or adopt. These babies just need a nice loving home. Luckily, modern-day technology has created a helpful tool to help get these babies adopted, and that is social media! You can see it in action with Lucy Lou, the cat who was in the shelter for over a thousand days.
The poor tuxedo baby kept getting overlooked because black cats statistically get overlooked the most and she was FIV+. Lucy Lou is a very sweet girl, however, and obviously has a lot of love to give. So in a desperate attempt to get her more attention, animal rescuer Fran Grzesik posted her story on TikTok. Viewers were shocked to find out that such a mild-mannered feline friend had been in the shelter for 1,145 days. The video quickly started going viral, piling up almost 10 million views. Only after a couple of days did the uplifting update come that she had found her fur-ever person.
Now, Lucy Lou has been adopted thanks to the shelter, volunteers, and the extra push from cat lovers on TikTok. Usually, social media is a tool for anxiety, but sometimes it's a tool for restoring faith in humanity, and this was one of those times. See the entire story below!
