'He was returned for being "too needy"': Sensitive shelter kitten gets adopted and returned for being too affectionate, he finally finds hoomans who are ready to receive all his love

There's nothing we want more in life than a velcro cat, feline fam. More than money, more than a raise, more than winning the lottery, we want a cat to literally need to be next to us at all times. Because right now, we're going and stealing our cats while they're sleeping and forcing them to cuddle with us until they get up and walk away. So we can't imagine ever returning a cat for being "too needy", we're ready to return our cats for not being needy enough! We're joking, of course, we would never give up one of our cats… but they could show us a little more love from time to time.

Meet Toblerone (formerly named Joel), who was adopted with a sibling kitten from a shelter, and then returned to said shelter for being too affectionate. All seemed lost for Joel, until one family saw his heart and accepted his love. Now he's Toblerone, and he's purrfectly purring with his new hoomans. Scroll down to see more of him below!
