After being surrendered after six loving years with his hooman, Snickers, a senior shelter cat, finally got his paws on a happy ending. The lovable tabby recently found his furever home when a couple walked into the shelter and instantly fell in love with his calm and charming demeanor. But what makes Snickers' story even more special is the note left behind by his previous purrent that tugged at everyone's heartstrings.

The heartfelt note explained how much Snickers meant to his former owner, who sadly had to part ways with him due to unforeseen circumstances. The message was filled with love and detailed Snickers' favorite napping treats, his love for playing, and how he's the ultimate snuggle buddy. The new adopters couldn't resist sharing how moved they were by the letter, and they've promised to give Snickers all the love and attention he deserves in his golden years. Snickers might not be a kitten anymore, but he's proving that it's never too late for a cat to land on its paws and find a new family. After all, every cat deserves a second chance at a purrfectly happy life!

    puppy. She loves to snuggle and be held and purr like crazy when you cuddle her. She likes to sleep in bed with you. She is very playful and will go find toys and play by herself, but she prefers when you play with her. She likes Temptations treats and canned food. I try to limit the treats

    my 25 year old son. She talks and chirps ? to him and loves to just lay in his arms. Snickers is one of the sweetest cats I've ever been around. Give her time to get to know you and you'll have a best friend like no other. I've had her for 6 years and it hurts me to have to rehome her but I have to move and can't take her with me. She deserves a good family that will love and care for her for the rest of her life. Please love her!!!"

    FelineManservant . 14h ago Thank you, sincerely, for adopting this cat. But please, please use her name 'Snickers' while she is getting used to her new household... She has been through a major separation, she shouldn't have to lose her identity, too.

I wish I could keep world's every cat and dog and any other animal who could not be cared for by their owners. Our cat is a really sweet cat who came to stay with us for a few days. When it was time to back home, the owner told me to drop him off at the shelter. We did not have the go heart to drop him at the shelter. We kept him
