‘This cat isn't feral at all!’: Feline pawrents of five rescue “feral” tomcat from snowy winter weather, only to discover that he wants to be adopted into their warm, fuzzy family

When we're feeling cold, or hungry, we are not the nicest version of ourselves. And if that goes for us, it purrobably goes for all of the stray, feral cats that are roaming around in this pawsitively freezing winter weather. Imagine being stuck outside in an unfamiliar place, with nowhere to call home, no escape from the cold, no place to relax…you would also be one grumpy kitty, to say the least! That's why we love stories like the one below - it just proves our point that a little love and a warm place to sleep will do wonders for some "feral" cats. 

After feeding this stray cat for nearly half a year, this feline family decided to TNR (trap-neuter-return) this angry-looking tomcat. However, after they got him, they realized that this feral cat wasn't feral at all! He was as sweet as pie and wanted to be loved. He immediately fell in love with his new pawrents, and who are they to say no to a face like that? Read the full thread below and have a great day!
