Down-and-out cat-lover finds their soul cat in a cuddly feral feline, then they risk it all to save them despite a rocky living situation: ‘Little buddy has unlocked a whole extra tier of motivation’

Life throws all kinds of curveballs at us, but it seems like whenever it rains, it pours. There's never just one problem going on in your life, and instead of a single manageable issue, you're drowning in unemployment, a bad roommate sitch, and a 'Check Engine' light that never seems to turn off. Like the cat-lover in this story, sometimes when life is getting us down, all we need is a cuddle session with a cat to get our priorities straight. 

And this feral feline certainly gave a man clarity on the types of relationships and purrtnerships he wanted in life after stumbling into his telenovela-worthy, dumpster-fire life.
