'[I] adopted a depressed cat': Love-starved 8-year-old void who felt scared and alone gets adopted and slowly but surely starts showing that she is the sweetest, snuggliest cat

Everyone wants to adopt a kitten, right? So tiny, so cute, so energetic. It's hard to resist them. Impawssible even. But kittens are not the only felines looking for homes, and sick cats, sad cats and senior cats deserve homes too. They're waiting for homes, and they have so much love to give. But few people give older cats a chance, and for the cat in this story - who was not only 8-years-old but also depressed after having been surrendered by the person who has had her since she was a kitten… there were not many adoption prospects. 

But someone took a chance on her. A little while back, someone adopted this sweet cat and gave her a real chance. And just like that, a month later, she is already showing her true colors. She's already showing just how much love she wants and how much love she has to give. This is only one month in, and the improvement is already so huge. We can only imagine how ameowzing she's going to get another month from now.
